my week in photos...summer in So Cal...

I get to drive Ellis to her internship at Big Canyon in Newport Beach twice a week

so I have been able to pick different beaches

to do my walks....

This week was

 Huntington Beach

where they are setting up for the US Surfing Open.

Living in California

I have realized that

 each of our  beaches have their  own personality....

 Huntington  Beach has a very one very active and busyone.

Everywhere I looked there were groups of hard working kids in the junior life guard programs...

kids at beach volleyball camp...

people on cruises...

surfers...

huge production crews setting up for the massive influx of spectators 

for the US Open.

A So Cal summer at it's prime.

The view from the Huntington Beach Hyatt Hotel...

which holds a lot of memories for our family.

Speaking of family....

this week Ellis made ombre cupcakes

in our french juice glasses

I had fun restyling inside

now that the 4th of July has passed

One of my succulent centerpieces is in full bloom

This weekends chalkboard project led to....

 Tidying up my bathroom drawers

and

 finally finding a way to organize all of my product  samples

so that i would actually use them (and I have)

I divided and labeled them by category

and placed them in a muffin tin.

now I can easily grab what ever type of product I need!

This led to even more happy organizing!

Another tip to share...

I emptied out a Chanel foundation...

and now have a perfect mirrored case for bobby pins!

Thanks so for stopping by my friends!

Wishing you love and joy 

as you style your life
