Do what you want.

Desert Dome sunrise

Here I sit in the desert, sporting a fabulous poncho as I sit back to enjoy my morning ritual of sipping black coffee and jotting down my daily thoughts.  

Oh, the desert sand—so differently packaged than sand on a beach. With no clean slate in the morning, no water washing away foot prints and imperfections, it’s all out here. It’s real. It’s beautiful. 

Out here, I cannot help but reflect on this time in my life. There are so many beautiful places to see and beautiful people to join. I truly try to embrace the idea of “work hard, play hard,” and I want to show others that they can do it too! 

Its okay to treat yourself and treat yourself often. You deserve it. I’ve always felt this way.

I remember the days when I used to relax almost every evening in a bubble bath. My friend’s mother announced that she’d never consider a bubble bath everyday. Her reason was shocking to me—that she’d spoil herself, begin to expect it, and feel less satisfied with a shower. She felt bubble baths should be saved for “special” days.

That is silly to me. You deserve a bubble bath everyday if you want one. Bring champagne too! And chocolate! Oh, and Don’t forget your guilty-pleasure reading material!! #dowhatyouwant #workhardplayhard #youcantoo #love #spoilyourself #yolo
