Five Things

January 18th, 2013

{Daily fresh-squeezed citrus in order to treat (him)/avoid (me) getting sick}

Last week went by unnaturally fast, so I guess it only makes sense that this one felt sluggish and tough. But we’re supposed to have temperatures in the high 70s for the next few days and my parents are coming to visit, so things are looking up. I can’t wait to take them to some of our favorite restaurants and explore the city a bit. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

    Are you serious?

    A handbag is what you’re “all about?”

    Life is more than accessorizing and accumulating stuff, C&C. I wish you realized that.

    The look of cut open citrus is oddly refreshing. I love the look of it. I might just have to steal that glitter card idea, my friends birthday is approaching. You always have great ideas, Emily! xoxo.
