Hello there my dear blogging friends! Yesterday I returned from a ten day break where I was offline for the entire trip - what a treat it was, and the first time I've done so in many a year! Switching off my mobile, closing my laptop and going totally technology and Internet free was crazy for me. I mean, I write a daily blog for goodness sake so I'm used to being online everyday! That said, it was good for me; really good in fact. From my 10 Things I Learned & Loved This Weekend posts, you folks know that I like to squeeze the most out of my days, but on this trip I wanted to experience a back-to-basics, uninterrupted special time with my heartmate. I snorkeled, swam, slept, read, photographed, ate, and then repeated (many times over!). I've returned feeling invigorated, inspired and refreshed, and I'm excited to catch up on your blogs, read the latest online magazine issues and take at least three hours to repin on Pinterest (totally a priority, right?!). I can't wait to blog a full run down of my time in the Balearic Islands, but before I do, I'm headed out to celebrate my beautiful friend Rachie's wedding. Have a lovely weekend folks!

So happy you could take a break and soak up the sun for a little while! You deserved every second. Happy to have you back! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThose photos are gorgeous!!!! Totally going to Wikipedia this destination next - I've never heard of it before! What an amazing place to spend ten days. And props to you for going tech-free for that long - I bet it was SO nice. I think I might attempt to do the same on my next vacation. (Or perhaps even just a weekend?)
