Today June 8th, is World Oceans Day, celebrating and raising awareness for my favorite place on earth. I could live at the beach. There is just something about the sun as my blanket, laying in the warm sand, listening to the waves crash, and smelling the salt air, that feels like home. I am my happiest and most tranquil when I am on the beach with my feet in the ocean. There is no greater bliss. My heart belongs to the sea. Today is an important day to me, because of course I want to keep my favorite place in tip-top shape 😁 The theme of this year's world oceans day is "Our Ocean, Our Future." Today is a great day to help raise awareness to others and remind them that we need to take care and sustain our home, the earth, and keep our oceans clean. If we all make small changes, and become more conscious, it will all add up and make a difference and help save our magnificent oceans and all of the beautiful creatures living in them.  Oceans are one of nat...

I love Philly, because there is honestly never a dull moment! There is constantly something fun and unique popping up all over our city. Last night my man and I went to check out the annual pop up at Franklin Square, the Chinese Lantern Festival. It was such a cool festival to walk through and see all of the beautiful huge lanterns all over the square on a crisp Spring night. One display was more magnificent than the next, ranging from a giant walkway of zodiac symbols to a ginormous underwater theme display with giant jellyfish and other  sea creatures. The festival also offers traditional Chinese eats and crafts as you stroll through the Square, admiring the lanterns. This year at the festival there will be performances offered every thirty minutes as well as handicrafters offering sugar painting and traditional Chinese hand drawings, and much more. Also, be sure to check out the newly rebuilt 200 foot Chinese Dragon, the fan favorite of the festival, located in the center ...

Last night I attended the Spruce Street Harbor Park kickoff party, which was my official kick off of Summer!  I got to sip watermelon margaritas and eat ice cream from Franklin Fountain with my best friend💕 on the waterfront, sitting in the sand, with music playing, and minus the crowds... it was a perfect Thursday night.  After we sampled the foods that will be featured at Harbor Park this season, and walked along the waterfront some, we took a little impromptu trip over to South Street to check out Eye's Gallery. I have been following Eye's Gallery on Instagram for a while, and have always been captivated by all of their colorful, cultural rich posts, and have been dying to go in-person.  Eye's Gallery is a beautiful little gem hidden in the middle of South Street. The gallery is a majorly co lorful bazaar and museum filled to the brim with Indian & Latin American folk art, jewelry & handmade gifts. One thing is cooler than the next as you walk ...
