Yesterday was absolutely perfect. I actually can't believe how much fun I had! It started off with me meeting my girls for brunch at this super cute spot in Santa Monica. We devoured avocado toast and mimosas like it was our job (well, almost). Then we hit the beach and soaked up some sun before they had to head back to reality. I stayed a little longer, enjoying the salty air and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. It was so peaceful.
After that, I decided to treat myself to some retail therapy. I love shopping alone - it's my me-time. I found the cutest little dress at H&M that I just had to have! It's strapless with a flowy skirt and the prettiest shade of pink. I can't wait to wear it out on a date night. Speaking of date nights, I've been dying to ask this guy out but chickened out every time. Maybe tonight's the night!
In the evening, I met up with my photography group and we took some amazing shots by the pier. The lights and the reflections were breathtaking. We got dinner afterward, and I tried sushi for the first time. It was delicious! Ended the night with a relaxing yoga session at home before collapsing into bed, dreaming of my next big adventure.
Today, I'm looking forward to some more coffee shop hopping and possibly visiting a museum. I've never been much of a museum person, but lately, I've been feeling curious about art and history. Wish me luck!
Also, if anyone has any awesome date ideas for me, please share!
