Do you remember those fun mood rings from the 70s that would help you figure out if you were feeling passionate, troubled, or happy? They almost never worked but they were totally rad anyway. Well it's mid January here and the long grey days have got me feeling a little worn out. If I were wearing a mood ring right now, it would be a muddy puce color and my mood would read, "in a funk." Why? Because I'm stuck at home sick on the couch with nothing to do but sit on my bum and wait till my body sets itself right. I decided I needed a burst of energy and fantasy so I put together this little mood board of beach expressions. Since I just put it together today all of the links should be active. So if, like me, you are dreaming of the beach this summer you can just do some clicking and have your beach wear shipped to your doorstep. Sure you still won't be able to wear it for another few months but the first sunny day that comes our way we will be stylin & ready! A great fringe benefit of having a few fun beach things hanging up where you can see them is the extra motivation it gives you to stick to your workouts through the rest of the winter slog. So when summer hits you are beach body ready. So right this way dear ones just click on the image below and lets get a read on your beachy - mood to see what type of sun-goddess you are?
