summertime and the livin’s easy.

it’s frightfully hot here in los Angeles right now and honestly when it’s this warm out my brain gets a little mushy. all i wanna do is go to the beach, swim in the ocean and sleep the afternoon away under a shady umbrella — summertime and the livin’s easy. or, at least it should be. alas, we can’t always do what we’d like to do, but the next closest thing is to write about it — daydreaming for a living is not a half bad option, is it? so i’m still in a slothy kinda summertime mood here this wednesday and i’m sharing some outdoor living to hopefully inspire y’all. so in your mind, get comfy in your best lounge chair, pour yourself a cold one and come along on this mini holiday with me. cheers!
