THE WEEK

It’s a beautiful, crisp, cool Saturday and I’m eating oatmeal while listening to inspiring talks by Oprah on Youtube (love her voice!) and tying up a bunch of loose ends before leaving for Palm Springs and Designer Vaca in a week. I’ve been excited all month as the anticipation builds — if you’ve never been and would like to attend next year, here’s my post about what to expect.

I know this has been a difficult month for a lot of folks, myself included so the allure of connecting with new and old friends, getting in plenty of pool time, wearing this dress and getting a night in at The Avalon to relax sounds like the perfect opportunity to reset for the rest of this year.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, friends!
