This year

This year I plan to live beautifully, and so I intend to add several things to my everyday:

1. Proper stationery for my handwritten notes, which I also intend to abundantly give this year

2. Red Moleskine journal for my thoughts and for when I practice my calligraphy

3. Wine with lunch and dinner, perhaps even with breakfast

4. That elusive pair of sunglasses that will suit my face

5. Scented candles every night

6. A mini herb garden, since I cannot for dear life keep flowers alive

New Year's Day tea time

Cholo, I just have to say, is my all time favorite tea time buddy. He likes to feign resistance and complain about how his fingers are too big for the teacup but then I know that he immensely enjoys our afternoons at TWG, perhaps most of all because he knows how much I love the daintiness and unhurriedness of it all. That he has a favorite flowery tea is veritable proof, I think.

“I hope you live a life you are proud of; if you find you are not, I hope you find the strength to start over all over again.” - F. Scott Fitzgerald

To beautifully begin the year, I embarked on a DIY project-- lavender room spray. It is one part essential oil and nine parts water, and smells absolutely wonderful. 

A hopeful new year to all!
