Through each generation.. run stories to tell..

Treasure the old.. nurture the young.. make the best of every opportunity that every day brings to tell somebody you love them!

Don't take anything or anyone for granted, EVER...

Lotions and potions.. why do they make you feel like a queen?

As a rule, the mind, residing in a body that has become weakened by pampering, is also weak, and where there is no strength of mind there can be no strength of soul.

~ Mahatma Gandhi

oh, dear me.. is this where my strength went to?...  

Oooh.. I adored Ninh Van Bay.. what a treat!!!

Six Senses Ninh Van Bay sits on dramatic Ninh Van Bay, with its impressive rock formations overlooking the East Vietnam Sea, white sand beach and towering mountains behind, all adding to the sense of being luxuriously at one with nature. The exclusive property also presents the reality of the destination, with an architectural style reflecting the traditions of Vietnam.
 I had the BEST spa ever here!!!

Something about yellow..

  

My eyes immediately pick up on this stunning yellow mustard jacket, and the yellow beads.. .. simply stunning!

 

without this yellow star.. this flag would just be so boring and bland!

Without yellow center..  this stunning water lily would not have her amazing contrasts .. 

Even the littliest of yellows add warmth, sunshine.. radiance.. .. think  yellow centre of daisy's and pansies..  gosh.. something about yellow.. this life would be NOTHING without you yellow.. thank you for brightening up my every day..
