Box Pretty

{via here::special thanx}

Just in time for the upcoming holiday season, these beautifully vintage tags takes me to a more nostalgic place.  Printed on acid-free paper and embellished smartly with a ribbon.
I like it there very much.  A time when elegance was clean and simple.  When days were spent playing your favorite childhood games.  And evening were spent with family gathered on the porch, intently listening to the baseball game...on radio.

Ahhhhhh...the good old days...

Here's more nostalgia

The Way I See It...

Have you ever awakened, after an otherwise pleasant night's slumber, to a blah self-image? For some reason, the hair that is usually glowing, thick and healthy seems limp, dry and unmanageable. The sun-kissed skin that is usually radiant, clear and subtle seems dry, wrinkled and lifeless.

Well this was me this morning...definitely. So with my head down and in the "funk" cloud, I gathered up my work-out gear in a attempt to dispose of the "ugly duckling blues". One hour spinning class & a one hour power yoga class, later...

Voile' ! The old me again...that self assured, confident, ready for the world beauty emerged.

...the power of self {luv} changes all perception...
