Happy Friday!!
Today is a perfect day to introduce you to another one of my obsessions in a totes non creepy way of course…Tanya of Captivate Me. Captivate Me was one of the very first blogs I read back when mine was a wee baby, and I think if you have seen it, you will agree to have at some point thought, “How does she put these amazing posts together?” Srsly. I kind of LIVE for her “Lazy Sundays.” Tanya is amazing, and has become a dear friend and what she did for me is definitely going to change the mood around here from emo-weavable to UNBEWEAVABLE. You must go check out her blog, it’s truly breathtaking.
I’m kind of obsessed with her….
Hi my lovelies, it’s Tanya from
Captivate Me! I’ve been such a HUGE fan of Liz’s blog from conception, I couldn’t respond quick enough when she asked me to do a guest post. Liz’s fearless outlook on life and her willingness give us a sneak peak of her world on a daily basis has always been so inspiring. In fact, I’ve wanted to do a post devoted to all the “why don’t you’s” in my life for a long time and for those same reasons, Liz’s blog seemed to be the perfect backdrop for it.
So, here goes!!
(1) Why don’t you . . . keep your head in the clouds for a little bit everyday. 
(2) Why don’t you . . . dive right in. Without the fear. 
(3) Why don’t you . . . make something ordinary, extraordinary. 
(4) Why don’t you . . . go somewhere exotic. Even if it’s just in your mind. 
(5) Why don’t you . . . take an impromptu road trip. 
And of course, why don’t you . . . post your own “why don’t you” post?
Love and Kisses,
Tanya
Yay love her! Thanks T, besos!
And YOU just might be my next obsession! 
Happy Weekend loves!! Hanako66 and I promise pictures!
XOXO,
Liz
