“I’m going to make everything around me beautiful, and that will be my life.”

I have a weakness for these rose bushes in #boboligardens And the Jasmine in Rome... Can’t wait to take my daughter there at the end of April! I didn’t travel much growing up. If I went somewhere it was because we were moving there. By the time I was 18, I had moved 23 times! Sometimes just across town, but other times across the ocean or country. Did you grow up in one place or many places? How do you think it shaped you?

Happy Saturday! It’s the weekend but I’m working on a freelance project for the launch of some really cool products. This one is of @yuraxmin though. :)

A belated congrats to Michelle and Nathan who were married August 3rd! Loved our time with you guys!

#Sailing in the #BVI last spring. :)

#Venice was pretty great. When we were there, it was the 500 year anniversary of the death of Leonardo Da Vinci. The Vitruvian man was on display at the Gallerie dell'Accademia, and to my astonishment the museum was practically empty! So obviously my son and travel companion @brichieart and I stared at it for an hour because we are art nerds.

Throwback to that time I was throwing up on my first sailing trip on the ocean in the #BVI last March. My son @brichieart and I have weak stomachs I guess. We were all of 5 minutes out and we were both heaving over the side of the boat. 😂 He keeps a journal and this was his version of it: “⠀
⠀
“But I did have I one of the most cathartic experiences of my life. Here I am in one is the most beautiful locations in my life, and I distinctly remember the clear turquoise water. I would throw up lightning yellow stomach bile, and as I did, these gorgeous tropical fish would all jump up in a flurry to eat my vomit. It was so pretty that I was excited to throw up because every time I did I got to see enough tropical fish to fill an aquarium, jump and swirl to eat whatever I was puking. I felt like a momma bird feeding her young. I don’t know if I’ve ever had such weird and conflicting feelings in my life.”⠀
⠀
This October we are going to brave it again sailing the US Virgin Islands. Wish us luck! I really do want to love sailing. .

#BridgeofSighs, #VeniceItaly. So my first and only gondola ride was with my son Ben. I really wanted a black, simple gondola because I wanted pretty, minimalist, pictures, so we went to this place that had them. We paid, and the gondolier told us he had a special upgrade for us. Of course, it was a bright, red lined, romantic, flowery, ornate gondola. I didn’t want to offend him cause I think it was his own so we just went with it. He proceeded to take us down the canal and I’m pretty sure we got the most aggressive and loud gondolier there ever was. He repeatedly yelled; “DISASTER!” And a lot of other passionate/angry Italian. Maybe even some Italian four letter words. I don’t know. Meanwhile, everyone else was enjoying their peaceful gondola rides. However, was still really cool and totally worth it. And I will absolutely not ever forget that ride. 😂
