This is my life | Girls' night

I spent last night with a bunch of lovely ladies, icecream and sushi. 



We started off with icecream. Why, you ask? Well, just because we're awesome.



And then sushi. Homemade, of course. 











And there was lots and lots of it!

Travelling | Guatemala - Volcano + coffee

One of the first days in Guatemala city, we went to climb an active volcano, because apparently, that's what you do. 







At the top! 



On one of the last days in Coban we went to see a coffee plantation. 





They had cardamum as well. 

That was some goood coffee!

DIY | Embroidery on burlap

I did an easy and quick diy tonight - embroidery on coarse burlap. 
I love the dainty colors of the embroidery, along with the lace, as a contrast to the coarse and uneven burlap.










It was so quick and so easy -
go make your own!

Travelling | Guatemala- Antigua + Maya ruins


We visited a lot of different places while in Guatemala, and two of them were Antigua - the old capital, and some quite impressive Maya ruins. 

First, Antigua:

We rode the bus to Antigua - not this exact one, but a similar one. A very pleasant, but cramped, ride.




The Maya ruins were part of a whole Maya community, and only a fraction were uncovered. It was such a big place, and there were so many temples and buildings. Imagining what it had been like was overwhelming. 

Not only were there huge buildings, but huge palmtrees as well!

Travelling | Guatemala

Those who know me, know that I never drink tea, BUT now I do! I've made up my mind, and now, I drink tea. I don't always enjoy it, but I drink it, and I'm sure I'll enjoy it soon enough. 




As some of you know, me and my family went to Guatemala for Christmas, to attend my uncle's wedding. It was such a great time, and I've finally started getting the pictures in order. Now, there are tons of pictures, and even though I'll only upload a fraction of here, it's still too much for a single post, so I'll spread it out a bit over the next few days. So follow along!

Of course we went with the purpose to attend the wedding, and it was so beautiful! I cried. That's how beautiful it was. (Okay, I cry at all weddings, but it really was beautiful!)





Isn't that one of the most beautiful couples you've ever seen!? I love them so much, and I wish they lived closer so I could see them more often. Maybe one day we won't be so far apart.

Of course we had time to do much more than attend the wedding, so check back later for more pics from the gorgeous Guatemala!

This is my life | Ready





I spent my weekend with a bunch of fabulous teenagers, with too much energy. I'm incredibly tired, but spent today trying to get ready for a new week. Coffee, how I love thee.
