Life can fly by without giving us an opportunity to truly embrace all it has to offer. It was something I had heard all too often but until stepping outside, riding my bike for a while and spending the afternoon watching the sunset last week, it had been ages since I had made any effort to breathe in fresh air. Between school and personal relationships, I know I don’t spend as much time reveling in the beauty I am fond of losing myself in. All of the trees and flowers that make my backyard an incredible place allowed me to adopt a serene mindset I had been lacking for a while. Taking just an afternoon to open my eyes and soak in what makes me happiest did me more good than I can express. I hope everyone has the ability to take a little while to do something that makes them happy; whether it is going for a jog, taking a bubble bath, listening to your favorite band, sitting down for a cup of tea with a friend or watching a movie with your mom, do it before you find yourself too busy to make yourself happy. There is a place, a mindset where we are all happiest and we owe it to ourselves to be there as often as possible. It isn’t easy to let go of negativity, to focus on what we need instead of what we want but it is worth it to get through those feelings to choose positivity and feel happiness.
Don't forget to take the time to do what makes your inner light shine brightest and keeps your soul inspired!
Till next time, -The Wander Girls Since summer will come to a close in a few weeks, we have been spending as many days as we can exploring here and there. Recently, as we made our way to the island, we stopped at the lighthouse and couldn't resist snapping a few quick pictures! See below for the photos and outfit details.
Right across the street were some shops and once we laid eyes on the little kiosks and stands, we realized we were in for a delight. The trinkets we came across were treasures! We’d never explored locally, but we are happy we decided to drop in to these charming shops because it’s all too easy to get caught up in the typical mall excursion. We made our purchases and headed out to stumble upon some very cool street art, so again, being the wander girls we are we had to snap some more pics before leaving for lunch and a quick, relaxing walk on the beach! This venture made us realize there are always places close to home waiting to be enjoyed, waiting to be discovered. After purchasing a few goodies, we think that supporting local businesses is a most rewarding feeling. It had been a while since we'd seen someone beam with the joy of sharing what they’d created and we can say that we’ve received several compliments on our local finds! Remember that you don’t have to go far to find something special. Keep exploring, The Wander Girls //outfit details// on carolina pink dress: new york & company earrings: local sunglasses: steve madden on aliya tassel cardigan: zara jumper: free people sunglasses: ray-bans necklace: local When I stand next to the ocean I feel infinite and small all at once. Worries wash away with the tide and my heartbeat slows as I take in the fresh air. It's magical and renewing all at once. Trips to the beach often mark the ending of a stressful semester for us. Its become a tradition over the years to make the pilgrimage to our nearby island whenever life is getting to be a little too much to handle. From the repetitive sound of water crashing against the earth to the warmth of the sand between our toes, the ocean is a melody of the ultimate sensory ideal.
De-stressing is such a vital component of life. It's all too easy to get caught up in the moment of everything going on around you and lose sight of what keeps you truly centered. So here's to finding your place to let go and remember why you started! There's not a day that passes by When I don't wish I was by the seaside Wanna sink into warm sand After a short ride To breathe in and hear the ocean confide Gazing into depths of blue Find I am thinking of you Just like that I can breathe again See you soon! ~The Wander Girls |
