The second half has been violent daily storms that make the sky look like something out of a sci-fi movie. I’m just remembering to get my walks in early during the day so I can be home for dinner and a storm in the evening.

🌿 Saw the cutest little guy walking around downtown Celebration. 

🌿 I love all the nature and architecture in Winter Park.

We have a little over a month left of spring and I We have a little over a month left of spring and I plan to spend it intentionally enjoying so much of what this season has to offer. April was a whirlwind of family emergencies and stress so this May, I’ve really been taking the time to slow down, live in the moment, and focus on joy. Every season I have a hygge bucket list of things I want to do at least once (but usually often) during that season. So many people write down and prioritize goals for their career or their body but it’s important to also create goals around your mental health and well being. 

How To Enjoy Hygge This Spring: 

🌷  Explore your neighborhood. 
🌷 Visit a botanical garden. 
🌷 Gift plants to your friends and neighbors.
🌷 Learn a new iced drink recipe.
🌷 Start a garden (or get one new plant).
🌷 Have a picnic. 
🌷 Eat seasonal vegetables and fruit.
🌷 Play an outdoor sport. 
🌷 Enjoy the natural light in your home.
🌷 Read on a hammock or bench outside. 
🌷Donate items you aren’t using often.
🌷Go to the farmer’s market.
🌷Do something creative.

How do you plan to enjoy the last month of spring this year?

Friday I'm In Love · April 29, 2016

Friday I’m In Love

fridayiminlovelemonade

It’s Friday and you know what that means! It’s time to share my favorite links for the week before heading off on a weekend full of adventures. Today, John and I are headed to the Europa Games Expo, which is basically a huge health and fitness convention. I will of course be snapping all day so come follow along to see what it is all about. Tomorrow we are getting together with friends and family to celebrate John’s best friend’s birthday. They have been friends for 29 years! #FriendshipGoals.

I hope you have some fantastic weekend plans ahead of you. If you haven’t yet, be sure to check out Beyonce’s new film, Lemonade. Also, Purple Rain is playing in theaters around the U.S. which is the perfect way to spend a Friday night!

Let’s get into this Lemonade, shall we?

One of my favorite things about the Lemonade film is that it is so much bigger than Beyonce (which is pretty damn big because she is amazing).

Franchesca nails my thoughts exactly on older white men claiming they don’t like Lemonade.

Jamelia also weighed in and had some powerful words to share.

If you are having trouble understanding the hype around Lemonade, let Janet Mock explain it to you in a way that only a black woman can.

While I sip my Lemonade, I’m still grieving for The Purple One. 

To this day I am obsessed with the Chappelle Show and I will always believe that his Prince skit was the best.

Luvvie captured the shock of losing Prince and followed it up with an article that actually made me smile.

D’Angelo and Princess stopped by The Tonight Show to perform a beautiful tribute to Prince.

A beautiful piece on Prince, Bruce Springsteen, and the power of live music.

In other news…

This is advice that you should be following!

If you haven’t checked out Alex Ray’s work, you are missing out.

Baltimore based photographer, Devin Allen is both talented and inspirational.

Amber lets us know the trick to staying organized.

If you want good stock photos, this is where you find them.

Sometimes a Florida man does something I can actually be proud of.
