Happy as I can be, after three shots of Tequila (at least) in my drink… laughing with my bestie, and exploring the city of Santa Barbara. The weather was so nice and sunny. I distinctly remember how good we were feeling, and how everything just looked picture perfect. I will love and cherish this day forever 🥰🤗💋
So many palm trees in Santa Barbara… from the moment I stepped foot in that city, I fell in love with it.
It’s such a beautiful, calm place. Walking under the blazing sun, smelling the ocean and seeing happy faces all around, was a pure blessing. What a peaceful moment. We truly were in a bubble, away from anything bad in the world. I loved it, and it was exactly what I needed 💙
Cherry picking is probably my favorite activity, after laying in the sun and reading. I love that my Grandma planted a bunch of cherry trees, and that now we get so many of them every year. They’re so full of juice, and better eaten fresh, right after being picked. Oh how I love my summers in Serbia ❤️
It was one of those hot days, where every building seemed inflamed; touch their stone and you’ll feel the burn. People were either hiding in the shadows wishing for a draft that never came, or sipping cold drinks at some terraces where you could see sweat dripping from the waiters’ foreheads.
Despite it being a little town, it wasn’t the middle of nowhere… it was in Serbia. A country where my ancestors come from, where women are put together, even for the simplest hangout. So I wore a beautiful white linen dress, with a print of blue flowers. I went to the farmer’s market in that outfit, and for a moment, I felt stuck in a 50’s era movie, and I wish that feeling lasted longer.
I can’t believe I’m a city girl… unless an insect gets in the way and then my scream reveals it to me.
Tending to a simple life where my main worry is which book am I gonna read today, or what vegetable should we harvest in the garden for lunch, or what’s the best time for me to go sunbathing, but ending up falling asleep because the sun rays are so gentle… then having my dog wake me up by laying his fat ass on top of me; what’s better than that. Well spoiler alert, not the city life.
