Can you believe it??? Not just an ordinary bakery...a bakery that only bakes cupcakes!!! What a fabulous idea! I had never heard of this place until just recently and I'm so happy to have one downtown!
Yum! I could barely make up my mind but finally went with the "Black Bottom"...it had cheesecake in the middle! OOhhh...
I think I'll try this one next time. I'm not sure of the flavor but it's pink and who doesn't enjoy eating pink cupcakes...seriously?! ;)
I stumbled upon this Etsy shop called Roska and I ended up winning this fabulous notebook from a giveaway she was having on her blog. She makes these notebooks out of upcycled papers and covers them with her original spirograph drawings. How unique is that?
She also has these Eucalyptus Leaves Notebooks in yellow, blue and pink...Fabulous!
My sister came to visit for Fourth of July weekend and so we headed to the beach! Even though it was raining (light showers) and windy...That didn't stop us but in fact, kind of made it even more fun! This amazing kite, the largest one I've ever seen, was being flown right over our heads. This kite was so incredibly graceful the way it would swoop down beside us and fly so fast up towards the sky. All of this while hearing the waves crash and feeling the cool salty breeze...Ahhhhh, it was one of my favorite kind of days...a beautiful one indeed!
One of my favorite things to do on early Saturday mornings is to go to the Farmers Market downtown. This time my sister accompanied me and I must say, we had a lovely time indeed.
Just walking through all of the vendors booths and "window" shopping is enough to make me happy. Especially when it's a breezy day and there's live music...Just fabulous! It seems tradition now to enjoy a delicious fresh squeezed lemonade and purchase little organic cat-nip pouches for my kitties....Which they destroy in a day because they love them so much!
Don't those fresh flowers & herbs look amazing?!? :)
I am so excited to announce that my line of jewelry, Lula, is being sold in Portland, Oregon at a fabulous little shop called Frumoasa Boutique (pronounced "fru-mwa-sa" which means "beauty" in Romanian.) This boutique is so girly and chic and well...Just my style!
I'm madly in love with those handbags and the
Almost there!!!
Pulling up to our resort in an open-air taxi !
Right outside of our beach bungalow!
We drank our morning coffee by the sea!
Breathtaking views everywhere!
We explored the island!
We climbed the rocky shore line of the beach!
Just us.
The inside of Virgilios was so eclectic with art
Newlyweds!
We went to art galleries!
We went snorkeling in Trunk Bay on St. John!
We drank the famous island rum runners
We caught every sunset!
I still can't get over the intense natural beauty
Waiting for the airport taxi to pick us up. 
Goodbye sweet honeymoon!!!
It was much more than I could have ever imagined...seriously perfect! When he asked me if I'd marry him (while down on his knee) I happily cried and said "thank you!"...and then I said "Yes!" How funny is that? I wondered about this looking back...why did I blurt out "thank you"...Instead of "yes" or "of course!" Well, I am so incredibly thankful for Jono. For the beautiful person that he is. For being so genuine and honest...best friend...soulemate...most loving person who I am so "thankful" and happy for. Thankful for him and everything that he is and thankful for him wanting me and loving me the way that he does...so pure and unconditional.
