MY SUMMER CHALLENGE 2013!

Exams are over, the sun is out and shining, skirts, shorts, tank tops all make an appearance from the back of your wardrobe, trips to the beach, ice cold drinks, bikinis, bike rides, road trips, kids laughing and playing in parks, summer romances ;), gentle breezes, endless walks, rooftop parties,  everything seems more alive, more beautiful and life just gets so much better . I am talking about SUMMER!! I am so excited for summer this year and I just know it's going to be a good one!!
