Palm Springs to Las Vegas
If the saying “work hard, play hard” weren’t so cliché and slightly rap video-esque then I might have re-thought the title of this post. Between trips to visit friends in Palm Springs followed by a turn around drive to Las Vegas for the Magic trade show, I have been one busy traveling lady!
I used to get really down on myself if I happened to miss one day of blog posting. Now I know the importance of quality versus quantity and the concept of making time for life, love, work and blogging all in their proper places. It seems that the more I live life to the fullest the better my work becomes. I like to think of travel like a living brainstorm session, even better when enjoyed poolside with a St. Germain margarita in hand.
It’s easy for me to come back from my work or play trips with complete sensory overload. I’m left with hundreds of photos to sort through, food and adventures to be shared and lots of work to be done. It can be hard to know where to begin.
But with the end of every great trip comes a fresh new excitement to dive right in. Work just a little harder, put that inspiration to work and make something great out of it!
And of course, dream up my next real life traveling brainstorm session.

I know how you feel, coming back from a trip with SO MUCH to share it’s overwhelming! [I swear, I'm going to be posting about my 3-week trip to Thailand + the Philippines for the next 3 months...] iPhone photos always seem like a good place to start, can’t wait to see more
Thanks Jamie! Good luck sorting through all of your travel photos…sounds like a fun trip.
I couldn’t agree more! I can’t believe how big of a difference a weekend away makes
Looks like you had SO much fun (and I could totally go for an ice cream the size of my face right about now)
Yes, that ice cream sundae nearly did me in. It truly was the size of my head as you can see!
That ice cream sundae looks like heaven in a bowl. Wow!
It really was! AND I didn’t mention the fact that it had a giant slice of peanut butter pie stuck under all that ice cream.
Love St. Germain!
It’s my favorite too! I’ll bring some over and mix us a drink soon.

So refreshing to see these playful and colorful images through your creative eyes!
Thank you Michele! That means a lot coming from your creative lips!
I loved that you said “quality over quantity” it is so true and very, very important for us to remember, bloggers or not. I’m glad you and Jason got to have a nice little trip! xx
Thanks Christin! I think it’s easy to loose sight of that when you are a blogger. The pressure!!!
Beautiful beautiful photos Leah! I tiny little jealous!
Ha! Thank you Gaby. It was only have fun and half real work.
Sounds like so much fun! And that sundae looks incredible!
PS. I’m a big supporter of quality over quantity. Freutcake is definitely high on the quality spectrum.
Thank you for saying so Amanda! That is very nice to hear.
PS That sundae was incredible. Jason and I couldn’t finish it…and that is saying something.
It looks like you had a fantastic time! That first picture from Palm Springs is gorgeous.

Thanks so much Jackie! I did have an excellent, albeit short time in PS.
I’m loving your take on missing a day or two of blogging. You’re totally right, we wouldn’t have anything worthwhile to share if we never experienced things completely! I like to think of off days as “market research” lol. I hope you had an amazing trip, it sure looks like fun!
xoxo,

Love this post! I have been wondering how you balance it all, and do it with such grace and talent. I agree that getting out and doing is especially important for feeling creative! Glad you had such fun trips!

You had me at St. Germain margarita.
