Three little princesses and their balloons
Pink, yellow, and orange delights
Tutus and dresses
Frolics and twirls
Away they sail,
Captured by thrill

The earth is in our hands.
This past weekend was Earth Day, which my town celebrates with a big festival in the park. All are welcome to enjoy the huge celebration and meander around the lined up booths of face painting, yummy food, and of course, learning how to stay green! The grass is filled with the most down-to-earth crowds of Santa Barbara, all barefoot and wearing flower bands around their heads. Everyone is hugging trees and swaying to the music that plays throughout the festival.
My dance company swayed to our own beats as we performed in front of the huge sea of people basking in the sun. It didn’t go the best that it could’ve, but it was still a fun time…but because of our performance I didn’t get to stay as long as I would have liked! I managed to capture just a few neat souls. I really wish I could have enjoyed the festivities just a bit longer, Earth Day has always been one of my favorites. I’d say I’m an extremely “green” person, and it’s so frustrating how many people don’t care at all about our environment! Hopefully this event encouraged the idea that everyone needs to go green!
Enjoy

I’m in desperate need of summer…It’s all I can think about! My family owns two of the cutest little cottages down in Carpenteria, just a block away from the shore, where my friends and I stayed for a couple days last summer. It was such a lively time and I can’t wait to go back! We all look so truly happy in these pictures, I guess we weren’t forced to be weighed down by loads essays and homework. All I can say is summer is all I can think about; having the time of my life with these amazing gals is going to be spectacular.

Hello splendid followers!
I’m sorry I haven’t posted this last week, it was spring break and I have been on vacation (be looking for a post soon!) and adventuring with the pals. The week before I left, I did a “Crafty creations” post that included a few knick knacks I made for my friend’s birthday, which we celebrated the Friday before I left. It was a scrumptious dinner with such a pretty set up, and it was a great night with the gals.
Olivia is my girl friend’s name, and she did all of the decorating for the dinner herself. She had homemade bath salts in the neatest little bottles, and tie-dye hair ties that she made herself as well for each of us to take home. There were other crafty little trinkets around the tables that were homemade too; I just loved the whole thing. If you want a party designer…Olivia’s your girl.
My birthday is coming up in a couple months and I’d like to do something that lives up to this beauty…If you have any suggestions or inspiration for me let me know!
Below are just a few fun pictures from throughout the night. Enjoy!
