My Old Pink Suitcase.


My first suitcase. To a girl with perpetual wanderlust, my first piece of luggage was the ultimate sign of freedom. It was my ticket to see the world. Have pink luggage, will travel.

It's a beast and it's pink. I can recognize it across the airport in a heartbeat. It can definitely fit a couple small baby pandas if I had to. I can tell you within a half pound how much it weighs, if it's going to be tagged heavy (which it has been, more times that I can count), or if I've got room for a souvenir or two. 

It's been my travel companion on many adventures. Italy, Jamaica, Canada, Hawaii. Minnesota to South Carolina and back. Crisscrossed the United States for the year that bag was my home away from home. Across town to my first stationary home of my own. Italy,  Canada, Hawaii, Jamaica.

It's dirty, starting to tear a bit, and a zipper catches. There are still adventures left to be had in that old bag, but for someone else next time.

I'm hanging up my travel tag on my old pink suitcase.

Alex

Currently.



Oh, hello. I've swapped blogging for sleeping. When busy, something has got to give and for me it's this blog. I know it will always be here when I have a few spare minutes! So to catch up, here's what I'm currently up to:

READING // Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter 


ANTICIPATING // Sunshine and sandy beaches...

THINKING ABOUT // Doing with less. I'm attempting to purge 40 bags in 40 days and I'm seriously contemplating switching up my wardrobe to a capsule wardrobe. Anyone out there given this a try?

EATING // Leftovers from Spoon and Stable. K and I had a date night last night and the hottest restaurant in town. I'm definitely recreating their Paloma cocktail soon!

THANKFUL // For my job. It makes me think, stretches me outside my comfort zone, and allows my creativity to flourish. I love it.

WORKING ON // More like working out. Since joining ClassPass, I have finally hit my fitness stride. I love trying new classes, studios, and instructors. Some of my faves include Pure Barre, [SolidCore], Surge Cycle, and Modo Yoga! Sign up today and we can live the sweaty life together! (< - - affiliate link)

PLANNING // Our bathroom remodel! K has worked so hard and we are finally ready for tile. He did the hard work, now I'm helping planning out the pretties like paint, fixtures, and tile.

WATCHING // House of Cards...duh.


xoxo,
Alex
