Hey friends!

I’ve been a bit MIA lately because I’ve spent the past 5 days in bed so sick fighting a major virus. Took a few visits to the ER, but thankfully I feel a whole lot better thanks to my amazing nurse, the hubby!

{I love sweet deliveries 💗!! I have been sick in bed for the past 2 days, but this special package just made my day! Thank you @macaroncafe! Can’t wait to start feeling better to dig in on these sweet treats} #macarons #sweettreats #specialdelivery

And of course, sweet deliveries always makes things better! Thanks to “MacarOn Cafe” for sending me this oh so delicate and sweet care package, all the way from New York City! It sure made me feel special, a little better and my day feel a whole lot sweeter! They smell divine and I just can’t wait to feel a little better to dig in. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes moments like these to kind of remind you that taking care of our body and health is so important. Being healthy should be a priority. I try to live a pretty healthy life, but small things like drinking more water is so simple, but so easy to be forgotten on a daily basis. So, I am committing myself to drinking more water. Although, I do drink a lot of water while I’m in the office, I do slack once I’m out of there, but that’s about to change! Reasoning for this epiphany is because during my visit to the ER this past saturday, the doctor diagnosed me with a few things and with a virus. According to the ER doctor, usually the virus has to take its course, and I’ve noticed that when I was younger, the process was always so much quicker. As I get older, things slow down a bit and fighting this freaking virus is one of them. It knocked me down for 5 days. The doctor told me that the easiest way to fight this virus is by flushing out my system by drinking lots of liquids. Holy crap, I pray this never happens again. I can manage pain pretty well, but this virus kicked my butt and in all honesty “ain’t nobody got time for that”! So, while being in bed all I could think of was about a few weekends back, when the hubby, a few friends and I went to spend the afternoon having drinks at this hotel. There’s nowhere esle I’d rather be on the weekends than by the beach. Especially with family and friends to make it extra special! There’s just something so relaxing and carefree about it that I LOVE! Sandy toes, salty hair and a relaxed mind is my getaway. The next time I want to make someone or an event feel extra special, I’ll be sending them my love {or a french kiss} with a special “MacarOn Cafe” delivery! PS: The packaging is absolutely beautiful, and won’t go to waste. I’m sure I’ll find somehing to store in it.
