Just for You

First, I changed my Twitter handle to @AricaRosenthal so I hope you'll come "follow" me on over. =) Ok, now it seems that every post I write lately begins with a reason for not posting as often... I've come to the conclusion that I may need to be honest with myself (and my lovely readers) with the fact that I just won't be able to post as much as I'd like because I just end up with such a tiny amount of free time after working all day, taking care of my little guy (Noah), my big guy (husband) and our home. It's something I'm sure a lot of people face when it comes time to balancing everything. I appreciate you guys getting it. I think we all work at balance and sometimes saying yes too often, leaving us forgetting what we really like doing for ourselves. Outside of spending time with family and friends, it's important for me to take time for myself. Here are a few things that make me happy and help me recharge. We all need that boost to take on those other things in life that are not always so great. If nothing else, pin a few to remember for later. =)

Pancakes, well any kind of breakfast or baking for that matter.

Retail Therapy and anything sparkly

Yoga (I'm still pretty new to it but I love it)

Reading a good book

The Ocean

Gold Pink Champagne (a lot of happy in one photo) via This Is Glamorous

DIY Projects (DIY Macrame Bracelets from this post)

Animals (Reminds me of my little black cat, Mila)

Had to sneak in just one of me and my guys since they make me the most happy.

Comments on my blog are so fun to get, I'd love to read about some of the things that make my amazing readers smile. xx Arica Image Credits: 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8
