You guys, I'm heading to the beach for a few days! It's basically all I've wanted for months now and all I've been thinking about all week!

Mostly because it didn't tell me to just "not check email" and "enjoy being present" or make me feel guilty for being super dedicated to work. I can't wait to look at the horizon, listen to the waves crashing and grill some food. Doesn't that sound nice? I think so!

You cross a line, you need to know that you're going to walk this earth knowing that there's an individual who has no respect for you." Zoe Saldana is such a bad ass.

Talk about songs I've had on repeat lately...this Nico & Vinz song, Am I Wrong, is playing all. The. Time. I think it's the song of summer 2014, but we all know I can be a questionable judge of music. Have a great weekend, friends!
