an honest lifestyle
I love the beach. When it comes to travel, I always prefer a tropical climate and some palm trees. My family also has a beach house on Cape Cod, so I spend a lot of time in the water. I usually go for one-piece suits instead of bikinis, because I am a little bit self-conscious about […]
Read MoreI feel like every post I’ve drafted this weekend starts off by saying that summer is over, and how sad I am. But I am sad and summer is over, so sue me! I did just have an amazing weekend on the Cape with my family, though, so hopefully that will tide me over at least […]
Read MoreI am sad, guys. I am sitting here with a massive bowl of soggy cereal, looking up my course book lists. Vacation is over. Nine beautiful days on the Cape, and we are home again. At least the weather was terrible today, so we didn’t feel like the Cape was mocking us for leaving. I’ll […]

I hope everyone had a good weekend! I had a totally exhausting week; it is so hard to walk around on a boot cast! None of my shoes are the same height as the boot, so after about a day, my back was all uneven, which is super uncomfortable. You know, in addition to the […]

This week had some pretty scorching, beautiful days, and I was lucky enough to have a light work schedule, so I was outside a lot! Hope y’all are enjoying your summer sun as much as I am. XX, Gabrielle
Read MoreIt’s September 1st, Labor Day weekend, so summer is over. I’m getting ready to move to Israel for rest of 2013, and I’m very excited about that. But there’s always something so heartbreaking about the end of summer. Summer is a romantic season, full of adventure, late nights, and beach days. Tomorrow, I’ll drive over […]
Read MoreHampton’s, Bar Harbor, Newport. Everyone has their vacation spot for a preppy, WASPy, beachy summer getaway. I was born into a Cape Cod family. For over forty years, my mom’s family has been coming to Yarmouth, Cape Cod, and from the middle of May through Labor Day, we’re at my grandma’s summer house every weekend. […]
Read MoreI remember reading Tuck Everlasting in fifth grade, and wondering about the dog days. As a girl with a fish for a pet, I couldn’t imagine anything better than dog days, because who wouldn’t want to play with their very own puppy for days on end? Anyway, the quote goes like this: “The first week of […]
