Pastels in the deep blue sea

Gotta love them pastels. 

I've been complaining that it's scotching hot in Bahrain for about...well since summer officially started. It's been so hot that one of the workers who were renovating the outside walls of our house fell from the scaffolding. Poor thing I hope he's alright. Keep hydrated people! 

I crave for a nice cold bath or a cool breeze at least. Speaking of cold bath, have y'all see the ALS Ice Bucket challenges done by celebrities. It's amazing how these things go viral on the internet. I'm glad it's all for a good cause, after googleling what actually ALS stood for that is. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It sure sounds like a mouth full, it takes me a while pronounce "Amyotrophic". I don't know much about it myself, but I understand it enough to know that it's a neurodegenerative disease, and am too scared to know anything more about it...I'd rather not dwell on what makes the disease a problem but rather dwell on the cure.

Yay for Tilly's shipping to Bahrain! Tilly's was the first store we all walked into when we went to Florida mall. They have a little bit of everything, grudgy, sweet, comfy, sporty outfits. At the time I went I really needed a belt after having forgotten my belt back home, my jeans were about to fall below my butt, so I hunted for some belts and found them at Tilly's.

Missing it

I'm back in Bahrain and I miss the US of A already. From the cool weather and random showers to the tap water that I never really liked. The moment I stepped out of Bahrain's airport and breathed in that hot and humid air, I said to myself "Take me back to the states! Take me back!"

Since Bahrain is hot and humid as ever and it's a miracle I can still go out and survive in jeans and an arm length shirt, but I am grateful for the AC that's always on in every single building and car I go into. Nonetheless I still crave the freedom to wear shorts and a tank top.

These photos were taken on the first day of the Indie Bookfest in Orlando, FL. We got free swag bag which was filled with a dozen bookmarks and other random goodies. I don't remember what we did that day, I think we went to the mall to do a little bit of shopping...yes we did. 

What's the weather like on your part of the world?

Have a fabulous Monday everyone!!!
