Just a Quick Note

Freedom!

Hello there all my friends! Just dropped in to say hi. I know I've been missing in action for a while...where have I been? So here's my news (in case you were wondering).
I thought that since I'm having a vacation, I would blog about how very nice it is to stay home and pretend you're on vacation. Yep. No stress on the budget, no stress on traveling to or from, so I'm having a lovely staycation this year. For me, staycation is all about staying up late, sleeping in, visits to family, taking naps, reading, a good movie, dinner with friends, going to the beach, the park for numerous picnics and getting chores done that I don't have time to do otherwise. I even managed to update my G+ little spot . (It has been so sadly neglected!)
Staycation is a good way of getting rest and reducing stress as well. Sufficient rest and relaxation are extremely important to our overall health and well-being. (I still need to remind myself of their value. Not because I don't essentially know it, but because it can sometimes seem like a million other things need to get done first.)  

To be honest, I only took a long weekend trip to the seaside but nothing beyond that really.

Anyway, I'll be back soon. Have fun and do have a wonderful weekend!

Did I mention I'm on "vacation"? xx

Just A Quick Note

Hello! Happy Friday y'all! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer! I'm still on vacation (read: staycation) trying to soak up as much relaxation as possible, but I wanted to drop in and say hi. Thank you for taking the time to read, follow, etc. my blog here. It really means a lot to me.

I am enjoying my break here, just finished my first cup of coffee and am editing tons of old photos on my computer. Just thought I'd give you some eye candy and return to my break; thanks for looking!

Hope you have a great weekend! xx

My lovelies, I'm still away...just thought I'd pop in and say hello; in fact, I must say a proper big thank you to those who continued dropping by my blog and keeping it active during my absence. Thanks again, guys.

This afternoon I couldn't resist posting a few of my vacation photos, if you'd like to see. 

I'm so excited about sharing a bit of my sunny vacation on the beautiful island of Myconos, Greece with y'all!

I hope everyone's having a great summer and can't wait to catch up on your lovely blogs. I've missed you all! xx

Versatile Summery Meals + Have a Great Summer Weekend!

Tomato Salad with greek olives, capers, spring onion, fresh parsley and virgin olive oil. {The nicest capers to use for this dish are the small ones, which are not too aggressively vinegary.}

I love salads and eat them almost every day. I cannot think of any vegetables that I don't like. I like almost all veggies, eggplant, white beans, green beans, broccoli, potatoes, whatever! But my favourite summer vegetables would definitely...
