Smile File-HELLO!

Mental Floss did a fun list of literal translations for greetings in different languages. I kind of love how these little phrases reveal a bit about the cultures. Here are my faves quoted from Mental Floss’ list. 1. Victory to you! Gamarjoba! Language: Georgian Where it comes from: Georgia, a tiny nation in the South Caucasus, a region that over the last two thousand years has been invaded, conquered and subjugated dozens of times. 2.

My Favorite Day at the Beach-FTF Blog Event

/ / 21 Comments
For this month’s Full Time Fabulous Event, Kristy Eléna asked us to draw inspiration from the beach. I looooove the beach. The feel of sand under my feet the smell of salt water, the sound of the waves and the relaxed, slow paced attitude in the air makes me feel like I’m in another life. So I decided to share with you my favorite beach trip EVER for my beach inspiration task, which happened on my trip to Negril, Jamaica… View Post

If you follow me on twitter you might have an idea that me and the BF’s favorite date night activity so far this summer has been staying in and watching NBC’s The Voice.

This place doesn’t look like much but the food is delicious. I’m sorry, but I think my BF has one… View Post

So our planet is pretty amazing. While stumblin’ the other day I came across the Salar de Uyuni on Daily Random Facts and it really took my breath away. Salar De Uyuni in Bolivia is the world’s largest salt flat. This is what the Salar De Uyuni looks like typically. Already gorgeous, but during the rainy season in winter Salar De Uyuni turns into the world’s largest mirror blurring the distinction between sky and Earth. Can you believe this is… View Post

I laugh because just last night the BF and I were watching TV and these sunglasses appeared and I said “Oh I have those guys!” and the BF says to me, “Yeah, never wear those.” Bahahahah! Not that I don’t value my dear BF’s opinion, I do and think he has wonderful taste. But truth is, I wear the things I like :). I won these Coco & Breezy sunglasses from Kimberlee of I Have a Degree in This. I… View Post

I saw this site in New York Magazine’s Approval Matrix a couple weeks back and could NOT resist! Maybe the BEST marketing tool I’ve seen in a long while. The Pedigree Adoption Center in New Zealand created this fantastic site to raise awareness of the thousands of dogs that need a home. Super simple and fun site, promoting a fantastic cause. You can either upload a picture or take one, I just took one with my laptop. Then they do… View Post
