can you say...lazy

alright well the title of this post really speaks for itself for this set of pictures BUT i mean it in the best way possible :D it was sooooo hard not to resist the sweet temptation of the warm blue pool...could you say no? i'll let you be the judge!

a view of the pool area and NO it wasn't raining we think the camera lens was moist...LOVING the effect though!

these were really sweet! like little acorn shaped bungalows...we spent a good amount of time here....

this day we got eaten alive by mosquitoes and oddly only on our legs! damn pests!

i love his shirt...describes exactly what we were doing...JUST CHILL

view from our "bungalow"

i like to call this bathing suit my rainbow brite

this was sadly our last day at the pool...and totally exhausted from doing some laps and drinking too many 2 for 1 mango midori....boy where those yummy!

 sadly i am at work right now...wishing i was back at that magical pool...thinking why did we ever come back...hehehe

tomorrow is bike chick tip, hooray!

starting a tradition

HAPPY MONDAY!!!! thank you all for the wonderful comments about my pictures from boston! i had so much fun taking them and then waiting for them to be developed! 

....so the mister and i have noticed a trend...one day out of the week he meets me at bart...we ride our bikes to thrift town and then go get mexican food! we noticed this pattern last thursday so we have decided to start a tradition...it is so nice because recently we haven't been able to go on bike rides together and it is nice to not cook one night and it is always a nice to excuse to spend some time together as he often works late and i feel like a don't get to see him much sunday thru tuesday. so last thursday the mister met me at bart and we were off to thrift town

i felt i walked away with some amazing stuff....i got some work clothes which wasn't soo exciting so i didn't take pictures of them but i got some stuff for the shop and will update the store in a bit but right now i am swamped with other side projects :D

  i found this really amazing woven knit shift dress that looks like it was from the 70's...i decided to take a picture of my outfit  while pretending to work...hehehe...and then realized that my toes matched the dress perfectly!

 another amazing hand embroidered wall art to add to the bedroom...

 and a really cute apron with pockets! i saw the pattern first and knew whatever it was i needed to have! now i can clean my house in funky style :) anything that helps brighten up my chores is awesome in my book! after the treasure hunt it was off to our favorite mexican restaurant for NACHOS!!!

what is your favorite thrifted item? i couldn't tell you mine...to many, i LOVE them all <3
