{everyday beautiful life: this is glamorous}

With all the madness of the past few weeks {including this blog being hacked}, I’m happy to be getting back to blogging. I’m especially excited to get this series going again. What better way to resume the series than with the blogger who first inspired me to blog? Our guest today is Roseline of This Is Glamorous. Her amazing blog never fails to take my breath away, as I’m sure it does yours. I hope you enjoy her post as much as I do. Here are a few things that make her life everyday beautiful…

{memories}
. . . film tickets from late-summer nights, blowing kisses in photo booths, champagne corks from momentous occasions, stacks and stacks of faded photographs and love letters tied with ribbon — a hopeless romantic and at times all together too sentimental, tend to keep small remembrances of beautiful moments . . .

{the ocean}
. . . what is it about the lull of crashing waves and soft, sandy shores that seem to fill sunlit afternoons with reveries and endless possibilities?

{traveling}
. . . whether it’s a weekend away or a week in paris, taking in the moments of life in a far-off place is one of the loveliest things . . .

{little luxuries}
. . . a weekly bouquet of hollywood cerise roses or a new pair of heels, a summer picnic or a handwritten letter, vintage champagne or being lost in daydreams — little luxuries are like moments of repose in the midst of busy days . . .

{being in love}
. . . it is said to make the world go round and is by far the best thing of all . . .

In the mood for sweet treats in pretty colors and these enormous balloons that feel straight out of my childhood dreams. Above all, I love the muted colors of the balloons. They look like the ones I dreamt of as a child, despite having never seen balloons as beautiful as these in my childhood.

None {the art of being silly}

We all know that wit and a sense of humor are important. It makes you appealing, approachable, sexy, and fun. But being silly is even better. Silly shows vulnerability and confidence to be less than perfect, which makes you all the more appealing. Children understand being silly; humor can be narrow, so it isn’t universal. Think of Ally from the Notebook. Her character is downright charming, but it’s her ability to be silly and full of life that makes her this way. Practice being silly. If you raise a few eyebrows or garner a few smirks from onlookers, you’re doing it right.

{A few silly things to do}
+ Take funny pictures in a photobooth.
+ Make faces like our model above in pictures that you’ll actually put up somewhere.
+ Ride the carousel. Bonus if you do it side saddle.
+ Eat ice cream from a cone. Get it all over your face.
+ Have a food fight.
+ Ticklefight.
+ Pull a Serena & Georgina by making up fake names and accents when you go out in public.
+ Prank call your relatives.
+ Splash in the puddles.
+ Learn the Charleston. Do it in public.
+ Sneak into something. {Just don’t get arrested, please.}
+ Have a date on a deserted playground.
+ Play with the waves in the ocean.
+ Let someone bury you in the sand.
