Summer Adventures: Amelia Island













My next summer adventure took me to Amelia Island, Florida. A cute little town way up in the northeast corner of the state, just a swim away from Georgia. Almost every day consisted of going to the beach and getting some sun. It was a rather easy task considering the vacation house looked out right over the Atlantic ocean, making the walk to the beach about one minute. 

One can only be a beach bum for so long before realizing it's probably time to venture out away from the beach. That led to other activities that included scooter/moped rental, a visit to Fort Clinch State Park, and a boat tour of the inlet river. The boat tour was my personal favorite because we got to see wild horses, a 3 foot alligator, and dolphins! Seeing an alligator kind of just completed the Florida trip, in my mind. 

The last day out we finally were able to catch a sunset that wasn't covered by a huge cloud. It was gorgeous and a great farewell to our week on Amelia. I haven't a had a true summer vacation like this in a few years, so I'm really glad I was able to make it out there and enjoy a truly relaxing week on the beach.

Hello : August

Bonjour Août! ( Hello August en français ) . I thought today would be a great day to start a new phase of my blog. A transition from fashion to lifestyle. Sounds boring, I know. Until I can find someone to take photos of me, I'm going to have to take them myself. Which is A-OK, because there are a lot of random topics I would love to talk about on here! Things like music, food, beauty, mental health, etc. etc.  _____________________________ I will begin this new phase with a list of August Intentions! Inspired by an Instagram post. 1. Meditate more frequently (because girl you know it helps) 2. Get outside a few minutes everyday (weather permitting) 3. Eat yo greens 4. Be grateful, everyday 5. SMILE, at everyone. And say hi sometimes :)  _________________________ And finally, a quote for the new month: New Month, New Beginning, New Mindset, New Focus, New Start, New Intentions, New Results. - Words of wisdom my lovely, and newl

San Diego Vibes

Image
For my last one week Spring Break vacation ever , my family and I traveled to San Diego, California. I've been to San Diego before when I had short, curly/frizzy hair, and better yet, braces...Take a second, imagine that image for your own pleasure, and then throw it away forever. You done? Ok good, let's move on.This time around I was a 21 year old college student, and wayyyy hotter so I had a lot more fun :). Two times around makes me feel like I've seen all of San Diego (JK not really, I'm buying a condo when I become a millionaire).  Since I have already witnessed the hilly fortress that is the San Diego Zoo, I had no interest to go again this Spring Break. Instead, my Mom and I ended up right across the street in Balboa Park! The land of museums and gorgeous architecture. It was like walking into a world that fused Morocco, Germany, Hawaii, and Greece into the same space. Incredible. I dressed up this particular day in a fun wid

Bye Bye Luna

Today I handed in the keys to my junior year apartment.  I wanted to capture the view on the roof one more time before I parted ways, and I'm sure you'll all see why it's just that much harder to say goodbye. But change is good and I'm super excited about my new place, my new roommate and going into my senior year of college on a high note! Nothing beats that view though. Hope everyone enjoys the last few days we have left in July! Next stop for me..Vancouver :) ♡Addison
