Life is Short
So put the top down!
We are enjoying glorious weather here in Seattle. Seizing the moments big and small.
About Me
Welcome to my p.o.v. of how to live a life well. Under the construct of 7 areas that I feel passionately about: Fashion, Fun, Food, Family, Friends, Philanthropy (aware not an f, but close enough) and Furnishing. Yes, quite the array I know. I bring you Living Well 7; Don't Wait-Enjoy Life!
