{summer inspiration: always the beach}

"At the beach, life is different. Time doesn't move hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the currents, plan by the tides and follow the sun."

. . . there is a surf spray for your hair that promises "that salty, sexy, sun-dried, wind-styled feel" that comes from being in the ocean -- and while it does leave one's hair tousled and sexily wind-blown as promised, nothing can compare to the feeling of toes in the sand and saltwater kisses and that perfect feeling of all the time in the world . . .
