Beach date

Saturday = best day ever. 

We slept in (me till 6:30AM, J till 8AM),

Worked out our budget in bed until 10AM,

And finally rolled ourselves out of the room and got ready for the day. 

To our surprise, the weather was PERFECT, giving us a delightful taste of pre-summer weather!

It would be a downright crime to not spend time outside on a perfect day like this.

Off to the beach we went and took Molly with for the walk of a lifetime.

Nahoon is our favourite beach. J practically lived on it growing up. He also won my heart on the sand dunes when we were first dating. Really can't help but falling in love surrounded by one of God's finest creations whilst gazing into the eyes of another of His very best :) (cue sappy music)

Inspiration and Motivation

Lets face it, everyone needs a little inspiration and motivation from time to time 

to live life to the fullest

to live a healthy lifestyle

to become the person God wants us to be

to educate oneself

to love a little deeper

serve a little better

avoid procrastination

That's why I'm grateful for the WWW. To have access to so many people's life stories and tips and information is a great blessing. With the click of a button I am often inspired and motivated simultaneously. 

So here are some things I recently stumbled upon that prompt a round of introspection:

1) For days I can't make it to the gym, I turn to this awesome gal for some pop Pilates. Sure gets me motivated to exercise! Check out her other vids on Youtube.

2) The Red Headed Hostess always posts thought provoking articles on studying the scriptures, teaching more effective gospel lessons (helps me with seminary), mouth watering recipes and other tips and tricks that makes you scratch your head in awe at her powerful brain. Check out this article on divine nature. 

Teach Me Who I Am

3) I recently watched this video on Vimeo. Holy mackerel! Coco's story is so beautiful!

It reeeeaaaallllyyy touched my heart. Go watch it NOW! And pay a visit to Reachel Bagley's fashionable blog Cardigan Empire. 

4) Exactly this. Internalize and do.
