Every now and then, (not often enough), I stop and really think about my life. Whenever I spend a bit of time reflecting, it always leads me to think about those things that bring me ABSOLUTE JOY…the things that I just can’t live without!
Here’s my list of the 10 Things I Can’t Live Without!
THE OCEAN…
To me, there’s no place on earth more relaxing than a beautiful white sand beach and ocean waves. I love early morning walks and late night strolls with the warm sand beneath my feet. This is where I reflect, rejoice and rejuvenate…
CRAFTING…
I grew up painting, beading, sculpting, knitting, sewing and decoupaging. I love making things with my hands. My crafting skills came from my dad and besides his love, this is one of the best things he ever gave me…
TEA…
No matter what time of year, a warm cup of tea soothes my soul. There’s nothing better than sitting in “my chair”, sipping a cup of tea and daydreaming about my next adventure…
LOVE…
The opportunity to share my life with family, friends and my husband Geno, is really all I need in life…
AN AFTERNOON NAP…
My life always seems better when I am able to take a brief slumber on a sunny afternoon…
MEXICAN FOOD…
Chocolate does nothing for me…it’s all about the salsa!…
MAGAZINES…
I love magazines…all shapes, sizes, colors, topics. Magazines are my little bit of heaven on earth.

JEWELRY (earrings to be specific)
While I love clothes, and love any opportunity to dress up, a great pair of earrings is always my statement piece. I recently purchased this display rack so that I could hang up all my earrings. Isn’t it pretty?…
BEAUTIFUL GIFT WRAP…
I love to give beautifully wrapped gifts. The process of wrapping the box, adding ribbon and dressing it all up with a unique bobble is a little gift I give myself…
GOD
What we are is God’s gift to us.
What we become is our gift to God!

Great list – mine is pretty much the exact same … I’d add fresh flowers, good books and anything with ginger in it.
Thanks Kalyn for sharing. I love you blog and can really identity with your love for fashion. I’ve subscribed and look forward to many more of your great post. All the best!
I’m with you on the magazines, the love and the naps!
I too think the ocean is amazing!
My list would include fresh flowers, they are divine! I’d have them everywhere if I could! Now if I was just better at growing them!
My list would also include a really great cup of coffee and lit candles.
The earring rack rocks!
Does it count that I love to GET beautifully wrapped gifts? 🙂
And God…we’ll it goes without saying, there would be none of the other if it weren’t for God!
Happy Wednesday! Thanks for the great post!
