I see tons of inspirational quotes on social media. Some of them I absolutely love and want to save forever so I can continue to refer to them. In order to keep these favorites I thought a Monday Motivation post would work perfect.
This post was very powerful for me. I could hear myself yelling these four little words like I was on a mountaintop. Clearly, my favorite thus far.
Do you have any favorites?

Remember back, a while ago, it was unheard of to combine stripes with floral?
These days, it’s not so much of a no-no. Coming out of Missoni, which is known for lots of colors in a variety of patterns, is this presentation of mixing and matching all these colors in different patterns, but on the same furniture piece. Kind of like patchwork, although don’t for a second let a novice patchwork piece fool you because if you look close you can tell the difference. You will begin to recognize which products are simply made by random pieces of fabric patched together and which are carefully designed with patterns, lines of the patterns, and colors specifically selected to be included in one piece.
While cruising the world wide web I stumbled upon the video below by Roche Bobois and I came upon the realization for the need to break out of a safer mold and present these vibrant colors that sock a punch. This video is a revelation of what they are thinking, which is a perfect explanation to me.
What do YOU think? Are you loving all the colors?

I think the below is my favorite. It gives the patio a design, it’s functional and looks tasteful. The above are a little too playful for my taste.
Which is your preference?

A few weeks back my guy and I escaped to San Diego to the Estancia Hotel & Spa in La Jolla, California, for a much needed quiet weekend alone. Normally, San Diego is off limits for a weekend trip because it is home to many family and friends. This time, we made the decision to keep our excursion to ourselves to avoid having to make everyone else happy with breakfast, lunch and dinner visits. I think we’ll try that ploy again.
We spent that weekend at our own pace, eating, sleeping and slowly drinking in all the sights La Jolla has to offer and what a beautiful site it is!
Dinner at Rock Bottom Brewery – Warm Donut holes with caramel sauce – Yum!
Back at the hotel…
Perhaps I’m finally writing about it because it feels like it’s time for another weekend away, alone with my guy.
Where is your go-to destination for relaxation?
