Hello hello! I'm back from Barbados (as of late last Thursday) and spent my remaining three days off catching up on stuff around the house, laundry, unpacking, and of course some fun and shopping in there too.
I'm still going through the over-500 photos I took, but I promise to narrow it down and will share a travel-diary tomorrow. I also took tons of video and am currently working on a recap of the trip that I will try to keep under three minutes (to some fun island music).
Thank you so much for being patient with my lack of posts for a week--I know that can be annoying or frustrating, but at the same time, it's the first time in over four years where I went on vacation and truly kicked back and didn't schedule posts--which was kind of nice. I definitely felt a little guilty and you guys were always on my mind, but hopefully we kept in touch through Instagram at least (see our IG vacation album here).
Anyway, without further adieu, here is a peek at my weekend...
Long nails--sort of! I think going on vacation with a manicure helped me stop picking at my nails knowing I didn't have nail polish remover to take it off once it chipped. I did bring a bottle of the polish I wore--Essie's, e-nuf is e-nuf--for quick touch-ups, but when I got home it was exciting to see some length. In this photo I'm wearing OPI's, Lincoln Park at Midnight which is one of my faves.

Hello! I know it's been a few days since I've checked in but I'm seriously enjoying this vacation and trying to disconnect as much as possible (I mean, besides sharing photos to Instagram every time I get a wifi connection and checking my Facebook when we come back to our home-away-from-home for naps). I had planned to share a weekend recap with you but I think it's best if I just group the photos together for a Barbados recap instead, once I'm back.
Today was our last full day as we leave tomorrow afternoon. We got up around 9am and Marco and I went to breakfast on our own to a cute little spot up the St. Lawrence Gap called Happy Days. From there, we padded down to the beach where our friends slowly joined us and we alternated between lying on the beach and swimming in the ocean--what a life, right? The biggest worry: what to eat next. I don't want vacation to end!
On that note, I'll let you go as it's official nap-time here at the house which I've been partaking in on the daily despite not being a huge nap person. Tonight we're headed out for (more) Bajan food and to see some live music. Hope you're having a great week!

Sorry for the radio silence, I have been busy preparing for our trip to Barbados! We arrived yesterday afternoon and have been taking in the sun and sand.
We are here with five of our friends for a full on vacation and it is so hot (no air conditioning in the house either, except the bedrooms, which is great for sleeping). We spent the day yesterday at the beach and watched the sunset, came home, got ready and went to dinner at Rude Boys. We had authentic Bajan food and it was so good. Most of us called an early night so we were fully refreshed this morning to spend the day at the beach.
The water here is crystal turquoise and blue, the sand is super soft and fine and the locals are uber friendly. We sipped on beers all afternoon while hanging out in the ocean, every so often grabbing shade under an umbrella on the beach. Later we grabbed flying fish sandwiches at a shack bar at the beach. I'd be lying if I said I didn't get a little bit toasted today, but it was worth the fun afternoon!
Tonight we are headed to a fish fry and later on a party on the beach with an all-you-can-drink party! Should be a great time and can't wait to try more of their amazing food on this island.
