In gold we trust

I believe color plays a major role in setting up a mood or state of mind. And I believe in gold. I actually believe in excessive use of gold! The color can be associated with confidence, creativity, perfection, the sun, energy, prosperity, luxury, winning, and power.
Gold accents are a statement, a conversational piece, and an undeniable symbol of power.

Yay summer

Oh beach time is here and I couldn't be happier!
 ...wearing a bikini all day long
...riding a bike to the beach
...stand up paddle board with friends
...reading a book by the water
I just returned from Rio de Janeiro and I am now planning short trips to Key West, Seattle, Naples and Los Angeles! So here is my Summer Fun wish list:
 What are your plans for this summer?
