5 Things I'm Thankful for This Thanksgiving

Hopefully this post comes to you in good tidings. Whether you are waiting for dinner to be served, or stuffed to the brim I hope you are surrounded by loved ones. Happy Thanksgiving to each and everyone on you who reads this. I'm so grateful for every single person that reads my blog. I am just beginning my journey with simple + spice, and every milestone I hit is thanks to you guys.

5 Things I'm Thankful for This Thanksgiving

#1 New Experiences

Going off to college has allowed me so many new experiences. Living on my own in Manhattan I've learned so much, about myself as well as the world around me. I've made new friends and shared so many new experiences with all the new and wonderful people in my life.

#2 Family

They're my biggest supporters and I'm externally grateful for their constant support. These are the people in my life I know I can always count on to be there for me. Being home and spending time with them this past week has just been such a reminder of how much they mean to me.

#3 Young Love

...all smiles, rainbows, and butterflies in this corner of my life.

#4 Adventure

Being able to roam free through the concrete jungle is something I'm thankful for everyday. Since I was in 6th grade I've known FIT was the school I wanted to go to and finally being here is so surreal. Being able to live out my dreams in the middle of NYC is proof that if you work hard, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

#5 Good Health

I'm so fortunate that myself, as well as my friends and family are all in good health. This is something I try to never take for granted. A healthy body, both physically and mentally is one of the most valuable possessions you can own.

happy thanksgiving,

until next time.

pop your popcorn, and get ready for an interesting flick.

Marina Abramovic is one of my favorite artists, even if you don't know her art,

this film offers an interesting insight into a beautiful mind.

An Important Lesson in Appreciation and Inspiration

This is by far one of my favorite Ted Talks, his message is truly incredible.

 Instead of scrolling through social media mindlessly for 15 minutes, 

take that time to learn something new, inspire yourself, and expand your mind.

stay inspired,

until next time.

Falling in Love // Fall Wedding Inspiration

hi all. it's no secret that I'm completely smitten by the fall season. it's inherent romanticism, makes me dream of one day saying "i do" surrounded by fall foliage.

indulge yourself with me for a minute, i know i'm far off from "the m word" even being even close to a reality, but sometimes i will admit that in my hazy daydreams the thought breezes through my mind.

Mountain Air Makes Me Feel Alive // Inspiration Board

The mountains have always called me in faint whispers through the crisp air, sending echoes through the woods, and sparks flying through my heart.

I long to be where the wild things are and to dance among them,

even if only for a few fleeting moments.

Clouds whisp, and create a fine divide between us and what's hidden in the sky above,
but from that elevated view point,
everything seems to be closer to your grasp.

stay adventurous,

until next time.

Marbleize Your Life || Inspiration Board

Hey from my dorm room (in pajamas with Skinny Pop crumbs all over myself)

In all the craziness that has been my first week of classes, it feels nice to just sit down and sift through tumblr and pinterest mindlessly. 

I keep finding myself drawn towards the white, bright marble images.

There's something oh so soothing about the calmness of the print, which is good because it's slowly been creeping up more and more in every day fashion.

This trend is definitely something to keep your eyes on in the upcoming months.

until next time.
