HELLO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!!!

Thursday has arrived, which means one of two things: you’re staring at everything you still need to accomplish before tomorrow in horror, or Monday through Wednesday were on hard mode and today feels like the victory lap.

Wherever you landed: congrats for making it this far. Friday is practically breathing down our necks.

Also, the tide brought sand back to Windansea after months of straight rocks, so apparently, things CAN return to us when we’ve lost hope. Is that inspirational? I don’t know. I’m talking about a beach.

Anyway, let’s drink wine.

Bella Vita Fest brings live chalk art, Italian food, music + wine to Little Italy Oct. 17–18, and I’m giving away A PAIR OF WINE TASTING TICKETS!!! DUH!!!

A much more reliable source of inspiration. Enter to win.*

FALL HAS BEGUN! FIRST STOP: PUMPKIN PATCHES 🎃

In the meantime, please accept this seasonal appetizer: PUMPKIN PATCHES!!! 🎃

Go frolic amongst the gourds!
