In a recent event I covered
Happy Sunday!

C'est si bon

Bastille Day

I know, I know, I haven't been blogging lately.

Been so busy that yesterday was the first time I saw my skin dry and like getting an allergy.

Thing is, I enjoy all the things I'm doing but still I just won't let a ball I try to juggle fall down.
We're also building a new place so that entails a lot of time and work.

This event was also work, went in quarter to 7 p.m., home by 8:15 p.m. All's done, everyone happy.

Hence, when I get home, I don't even open the computer and just spend time with my husband and kids.

When people ask me how I do it, aside from being organized, I don't let my schedule interfere with my priorities. I'm lucky that I get to do things I love and at my own time.

But my real comfort is, no matter how I run around the whole day,

I always try to find time to visit Him.

Even for a few minutes.

It just grounds me, revives me, inspires me and puts everything back into perspective.

While I make gazillion decisions a day, I must admit, from the most mundane to the more cerebral ones, discernment and the right judgment is what I always pray for.

May not please everyone but I know I'm doing what's right.

So, you may see this photo like I just relaxed and partied, truth is, I've already worn so many hats during the day and this is just one of them.

Good part is, I still get home to a happy family.

C'est si bon!

Clutches -

Small, light, easy, doesn't try to be the center of attention when wearing a statement dress or could be the focal point when one prefers so.

The perfect kind of accessory, never cramps your style but paired correctly makes a big statement.

Beauty doesn't come from overbearing things but in little things that grab one's imagination.
So next time you're looking for the perfect bag, just clutch it!
