Beach Landscape

Here are a few pictures of my beach camping trip a few weeks ago. Also, a lovely little song by Brigitte Bardot. Enjoy! :)

Beach Camping

This week I went camping in Central California. It was a bit chilly, but so refreshing, relaxing, and fun. I went with five of my best friends (minus a few that I missed terribly). Sometimes the most delicious food comes from cooking over a fire pit in the crisp beach air. You also come up with so many hilarious inside jokes on trips like these. I love my friends so much!

We trekked through Montana de Oro state park. The trail took us along the top of sea cliffs, and then to a beach full of angled rocks to climb and tide pools in which to observe anemones and sea snails. The beach itself was covered in smooth pebbles rather than sand, and my friend Monica and I had fun finding colorful or striped ones, or little shells. It was a beautiful trip. If you're going to be in the area, I would recommend it.
By the way, I took all these with my fujifilm instax, then cropped and edited them digitally. The convey the atmosphere of the surroundings so well. The yellow flowers were blooming, and the hills were covered by a light layer of fog. Even though it's summertime, I was happy to have such cool weather. It was refreshing.

Color Palette time! I love these soft blues, browns, and taupes, so serene. I actually have this image for sale in a set of two in my Etsy shop! I thought it would make a great color palette.

Doesn't that turquoise dress look really fuzzy and comfortable?! And that Anthropologie throw is calling my name.

The Beach

I've lived five minutes away from the beach for almost a year now, but despite the fact that sunshine, sand, and the soothing sound of waves are at my fingertips, I've been to the beach only a few times! Something about that isn't right. Warmer days are just around the corner, and I should spend more time enjoying the beach.

Three things I want this summer:
(1) Spend more time outdoors
(2) Go blonder
(3) Feel confident in a bikini

Here are a few photos from my little beach outing last week:

Anybody else excited for warmer weather?

What sort of outdoor places do you prefer to spend time at?

These Days.

These days, I have been very busy suddenly.  I got a part time job, I'm going to school, I'm going to church, and I have all these little personal "on-the-side" projects that have popped up everywhere!  I'm starting to feel the stress.  It is a tricky thing, figuring out how to stay positive, keep the stress levels down, and not have a heart attack when something goes slightly wrong.  I have to thank God for everything and focus on the positives, of which there are many!!

This is why I am overly-excited for the upcoming weekend in Santa Barbara with my best bud Natalie!  I'll take some pics to show you when I return from my beach-lounging trip upstate.

But before then, I have three closing shifts, a french test, brochures to print, and photos to send!!  Wish me luck.
