Sunlight

Blessings come in different ways. If you don't see the beauty of nature as blessings, you will not see yourself as one.

“Do not anticipate trouble or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.” Benjamin Franklin

Selfie the Breeze and Hashtag it!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Bahama Breeze for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Finally, the season that I have been waiting for all year long is here.  School is over and I can finally take a break and spend good times with my BFFs bonding and taking lots of selfies and hashtagging every single one of them.

So what does an OCD like me have on my “summer to-do list”? Beach. Party. Cocktails. Repeat!
Yes, I know that I can do all those things all year-round even in winter time but I have an alibi. Bahama Breeze Summer Beach Bash doesn’t happen in winter time. “Bahama Breeze is the summer destination for good times” and that alone is one reason to wait for summer all year long. Yup, you heard it right. It starts June 23^rd and ends August 3^rd, so excuse me I have a time table here my friends.  LOL Well, I have the urgency to have the Bahama Breeze Ultimate Pineapple which is the must have drink of the summer.  After all the hard work I’ve done all year-round, I need my reward. Right?

So where can I have this BB Ultimate Pineapple drink? Well, on Saturdays BB brings out a mojito bar and turns up the live music while you watch their bartenders mix-up your ultimate pineapple drink or better yet, you can choose your fruit and rum and be amazed at how they can come up with signature cocktail drink just for you. How cool is that? Then have a selfie with your signature cocktail on hand and hashtag your friends for bragging rights. LOL

Did I say selfie and hashtag? Oh yes, Did I mention that you can also have a bragging rights to show off your selfie skills at Bahama Breeze if you attend the Summer Beach Bash? Take selfies and enter the #MyBBSelfie Instragram Contest for a chance to win #BahamaBreeze $25 gift cards and swag.  All you need to do is to take selfie of yourselves enjoying your time at the Summer Beach Bash and use the hashtag MyBBSelfie. Oh you don’t really need that instruction, do you? I know you all know how to do it. We all live in a selfie-hashtag -kinda world so just be creative, be natural and brag about it like a pro. Wink. But here is the thing… you are in for a big surprise my dear friends because I am your biggest competition. Spoiler Alert! I am the Queen of Selfie so watch your back! LOL

So there you go my friend. I will surely see you there. And for you my dear friends from the other part of the states, check out Bahama Breeze website and look for the nearest BB in your neck of the wood to experience the Summer Beach Bash. Just don’t forget the selfie and hashtag it.

The Best Days with my Dad

My Dad wasn't really around when I was growing up. Well, he was pretty much around until I was 10 years old. But during the most critical stage of my growing up years where I was going crazy about my teenage life due to hormonal change... he was abroad working to give us a better future.

My First Teacher

I have fond memories of my first day in school as a kindergarten kid. I remember my teacher wore a very nice dress that looked like she came out of a fashion magazine. She wore her thick, black hair really long. In fact, I think it  was longer than the dress she was wearing. It was the 70s and the fashion trend that time was hip. It was the era where women either wore mini dresses or hot pants. They were either strutting in maxi dresses and platform shoes or micro-mini skirts and knee-high boots. They either matched their outfits with sunny attitude or a “peace-man” neck pieces or brooches. But other than that, I remember too that I had fun doodling, writing, singing, playing and making friends in kindergarten school. And of course, I also remember that I graduated with some honors.

The Big Move

WARNING: This is a re-post of a re-post from My Refuge Online that will go extinct. Yes. Ruthilicious is moving for the 2nd time and hopefully this is the last one. I am taking the "downsizing mode" seriously so this move is inevitable. I do hope that you my friends and followers will continue to follow Ruthilicious here in Ruthi's breathingSpace. Sorry for the inconvenience but this is for the better. Wink***

Ruthilicious at 49

It's hard to believe that I turned 49 yesterday. Or is it?

Forty Nine years and it feels like nothing has changed. I am still the same crazy person I used to be. No more, no less. Errr.... maybe a little bit more. LOL

It's Girls Scout Cookie Time!

I don't know about you but I love my Girl Scout cookies.

And when I get them... they don't stand a chance. They get eaten right away and without remorse. LOL
