Getting summer ready!






Many of you know that one of my brothers is getting married in New York City this summer and I want to make sure that I’m looking my very best, feeling extra super healthy for the trip and of course looking fit for all of the millions of photos that will mostly likely be taken.  So, I’m excited to start THRIVE which is premium nutrition to supplement my attempts at healthy eating.  THRIVE prides itself on increasing:

-Sustainable energy
-Mental Clarity 
-Restful sleep
-Healthy Joint Function 
-Mood Support 
-Preventative nutrition medicine 
-Weight Management  

…and it’s obtained from premium vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, pro-biotics, plant extracts and amino acids that boost your metabolism, breakdown body fat and enhance lean muscle.  So, I hope to add this everyday for a set amount of time (I went for the ten day sample to give it a try first) to get into the best version of myself for the summer.  Physically, mentally and emotionally.


If there are any of you out there who want to get summer ready with me by adding THRIVE to your grub feel free to contact my friend Brad at: bradgathercole@hotmail.com,  or check this video out for more: Thrive   and if you ever want to talk to my amazing friend Karen who is a registered dietitian socialdietitian@yahoo.com

More Mexico Pics

I know - you get it.  We went to Mexico…again…cause we were all sick.

But in case you wanted to see a few other random shots of our trip - here they are!  I often get asked what I do with all of my photos.  Well, back in the day, I legitimately went out and developed them and then put them in albumns!  I know, I’m old.  But here’s the thing, I really loved doing that and now I have all of these crazy amazing memories in big binder like books for my kids to see when they grow up.  Currently, I’ve been pretty bad about 'developing' because it’s so difficult to find shops that do it anymore!!!  Bizarre how times have already changed so much.

So, currently I have a gazillion and one on a little passport thingy that Nate bought for me.  I basically go through pics on my camera and delete the ones I know for sure I don’t want to hang onto.  Then I upload the 'keepers' onto my computer and then I organize them into dates and titles.  Then, I either make an ebook or transfer them onto my passport so they don’t take up too much computer space.  It’s a good system…

Anywho, here are the last bunch from this trip.  I’ll be posting my faves from the do-over Mexico trip at some point tomorrow in the 'Travel' section, and then I need to get uploading the VEGAS VACATION BABIES!

Happy SUNDAY!

Mornings and Sunsets
















Every morning William would pick flowers and give them to either Scarlet or I.  It was honestly so adorable.  This is his 'smelling' face.



This is Will during another morning flower session giving me his picked flower.  Heart exploding adorable. 





Morning moments
If you’re like me, you’re not usually an early riser, but something about introducing the day by watching the sun rise over the ocean and listening to the soft rolling waves (all whilst holding a hot coffee in your hand) was so appealing to me over this past trip that I actually enjoyed 6:00am - and let’s be honest - the beauty of the balcony didn’t hurt either.  Here are a few moments from various mornings.  We have always brought quick cooking Oats with us for an easy breakfast and some coffee grounds just in case they aren’t provided in the condos or homes. 

The next set of shots are from the sunset evenings which is arguably the most beautiful and colourful parts of the day.  The skies here in Nuevo Vallarta where every shade of pink, purple and peach that you could imagine.  Why are beach sunsets that much better?   Personally, I’m convinced it’s cause our souls see things more vibrantly when we’re happy.  


























Hope you all have a lovely day today friends
