Icy Retreats

Vacation was amazing!  I try to get as much rest as possible during these times but on the way back I couldn't help but get a few pics with the scenic views.  I mean, you don't get these opportunities every day!  C'mon!

Absolutely gorgeous and restful.  There's nothing like the beauty of God's Creation, a Natural Spa and mind resting retreat.

Even if you can't get a full vacation, don't forget to spend some BR&R time (Beauty, Rest, and Relaxation).  You deserve it!

Much Love Beautifuls,

I am going on vacation this winter and plan to go horseback riding, one of my favorite activities.  I am absolutely fascinated with the culture of horseback riding and wearing skirts.  No, I will not be riding sidesaddle, but I would love to ride a horse with a skirt on for the first time.  Here are a few Equestrian Inspired looks.

This is sidesaddle:

There is such an eloquence and grace that comes with a lady riding a horse in a beautiful skirt.  But it does present its problems, such as burning your legs from rubbing on the horse.  See the video below for a wonderful skirt that will protect your legs and keep you warm- made specifically for horseback riding!
