Do What You Love

I spent the end of last week and the weekend in Jackson Hole, WY, skiing and relaxing with my family and friends. JH is one of my favorite places ever - it is just so incredibly chill, laid back, and fun.  Life is easy - you work to ski and play, and just have an all around good time. It's the kind of place where you never really need to grow up (but in a good way). Everyone is out there doing what they love and just living life.

Doesn't it sound amazing? Just doing what you absolutely love every single day, with people who feel the same? Whether its skiing, blogging, working, whatever! I've been searching for that most of my life now, and I'm just starting to get there. I've never heard people talk about their love for skiing, biking, fishing and just being outdoors more than I did in Jackson Hole. People plan on moving for a year, but fall in love with the place and stay. How can you not? It's incredible. I've always wanted to live out there, maybe someday I'll make it happen... or at least get a vacation house there! I'll be posting some pics from the trip soon, so stay tuned.

Oh, and today is my birthday!

Chandeliers

images via 1/2/3/4/5/6/7

I love a good sparkly chandelier almost anywhere in the home, whether it helps to glam up the bedroom, light up the living room, or make the kitchen have that extra little sparkle. I've been looking for the perfect chandelier for my bedroom without breaking the bank. Of course, most that I love are insanely expensive, but you can also find a great vintage chandelier at almost used home goods store or antique shop. If you're located in the Columbus, OH area, Grandview Mercantile is the perfect place to go.
