seasonal confusion
living in California, many may say we are so lucky with our mild temperatures, but being from the east...i want defined seasons..i am still craving a snowy day all bundled up...no ice please..but our weather is super sunny during the day, close to 70 degrees, then cold nights (there is frost outside) it gets me all confused... do i take down the white lights outside from the holidays, do i light a fire, do i make a big batch of homade soup..is it winter or is it spring?
maybe i should believe its winter like everyone else and stop dreaming about sand between the toes, salt air, smelling like suntan lotion all day, flip flops and waves in the background....Wednesday, January 28, 2009

can't leave home without it
i have literally tried them all and have landed on my favorite! not greasy, has a hard bees waxy feel and smells yummy with its hints of mint! i buy mine at the fantastic green store in SF 
my Sigg water bottle, filled with water in the car always..noticing a trend.. dry lips, always parched???
i know very embarrassing, i am addicted like the rest of the world..mine at least has a cute orange sleeve.
canvas bags i have always been a tote girl, i can appreciate the fashionistas with their leather logo bags with all the gorgeous hardware, but its not me.

india oh india
my love affair with india has been going on for quite sometime
i think it started when i landed in the middle of the night over that usually hazy(smoggy) sky and the light below is all twinkly like candlelight
then i stepped out of the plane and i thought whats that smell?
"its india" someone said to me
there is so much chaos to digest every time i left the premises of where i lodged, that at times a bit overwhelming on all senses
but, then i got to meet the people, the most courteous and hospitable people i have ever met
they are so warm and have such friendly faces
i love that when you visit the prize taj mahal or Gandhi's museum, there aren't any velvet ropes, you can experience it, you can touch it or walk his last steps with everyone all around you doing the same
i think about those long drives through the brown landscape and see in the distance beautiful fuchsia, lime green, brilliant red and yellow saris blowing in the wind
ohh and i musn't forget the elephants..what a love..
more to come on this affair later..
