I don’t even know how I came across these necklaces, but they are fabulous. I want to get this one for my cousin, since her last name is Hussey. Beck, if you read this, let me know if you’re interested! Anyway, just so you know some of these necklaces contain mature content; I’m just putting that out there so I don’t get yelled at.

If you are in the area you should definitely check out the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, DC. This weekend the trees will be in peak bloom! It’s a gorgeous view, a relaxing day with plenty of picture taking opportunities, and it’s a great place to spend time with people that you love! Plus, there are plenty of other activities going on as well.

Pirate Valentine’s

Last weekend I had the best time at the Capodanno birthday party. Melissa came with, and we face painted and tatooed little buckaneers! The pirate theme was everywhere; they made a kid size ship out of cardboard and took my suggestion of making a wheel so the kids could feel like they were manning the boat, the cake was a decked out treasure chest, and I even got to lead the kids on a treasure hunt that went all through the house. I thought it was awesome, so the kids must have been in heaven.

For face painting we had sharks, treasure chests, mustaches, skulls and cross bones, and of course mermaids!

If you know anyone who needs a face painter for a party, let me know! I’m thinking of making it my career… haha… but seriously I would.

I just think these are cool.

melissa’s birthday weekend

melis

This past weekend was the lovely Melissa’s birthday. It started off Friday when I drove up I-95 to Delaware, where I met Melissa and her roomies for a scrumptious Mexican dinner. After large amounts of guac and embarrassing birthday songs, we departed for the house where we watched a movie and crashed.

Saturday we woke and decided to go to Longwood Gardens. Neither of us had been there before, but we both had always wanted to go. And with good reason because it was absolutely beautiful! The rain clouds disappeared to produce a gorgeous, sunny afternoon of nature walks, flowers and gigantic treehouses. If you are in the area, you need to go. It’s very inspirational, peaceful and great for spending time with a good friend.
