My Perfect Day

{pic from Claudia at the beautiful blog: the paris apartment}


Nina posted a lovely question yesterday on her gorgeous blog - what does your perfect day look like? This was my response:

~wake up naturally to sunlight streaming into my room, Lola at my side

~breakfast in bed (grits + spicy sausage + fried egg for savory, french toast with berries for sweet, and oodles of coffee and cream)

~spend the day strolling and shopping the streets of Paris, grab lunch at a darling cafe, enjoy a macaron + tea at Laduree

~back home for an afternoon nap, Lola at my side

~post-nap, curl up with tea, scones + clotted cream, fresh fruit, journal, books, colored pens, stickers, etc.

~get dolled up for dinner at my favorite restaurant in Rome (clearly traveling time does not interfere w/ my perfect day)

~dessert (prob. can't get this in Rome) of warm chocolate molten cake + vanilla bean ice cream + decaf coffee

~post-dinner stroll with a lover, holding hands

~long, hot, fragrant, candle-lit bath in giant tub

~deep tissue massage

~blissful sleep, again with Lola at my side

(In retrospect, i'd probably also throw in a delicious yoga class as well. And maybe add a roaring fire and snow outside?? Mmmm)

What is your idea of a perfect day?

P.S. Nina - i'm dying to hear yours!!

ok I thought and thought about it I have been quite stressed lately and this would be my wonderful perfect day.

- Wake up to a glorious day with endless money in the bank account.
- Go to the perfect flow yoga class
- Have a wonderful breakfast of swedish pancakes and some eggs on the side with tea and orange juice
- Go home and wear a very flattering bikini "this perfect day of mine I am flawless as well lol" pack a wonderful picnic lunch and go to the beach with my man and get a tan.
- Go home shower, nap, wake up relax with a cup of tea n read a good relaxing book while the bf cooks a wonderful meal for me along with dessert and wine in tow.
- Back to reading and while a relaxing music is playing in the back ground.
- Have a wonderful uninterrupted sleep

In this day my cat is being the perfect cat as well.

What do you think of my day
