Life’s A Beach
I saw the above quote on instagram and in a Carrie Bradshaw kind of moment, “I couldn’t help but wonder,” why are we always expected to be so normal?
Consciously or unconsciously, there is this perfect fictionalized version of ourselves that we try to live up to…The truth of the matter is no one is perfect (even my idol J.Lo has flaws!), but what makes a person perfectly beautiful is the attitude they possess (and I know I definitely could work on mine! :). I think we are all different and our imperfections are actually what makes us unique and thus beautiful…sniff, a day at the beach always make me feel warm and fuzzy inside, lol.
(and tumbling down I go)

Hanging out at the beach always bring out the kid in me. It’s a place of healing and happiness. I love when the sun embraces me in its warmth and the sound of the ocean feels like therapy to my heart. It kind of feels like I’m on an island far, far away from the hectic world with not a worry in sight. That’s when I get to be totally dorky, weird and at my most abnormal self…and it feels freakin’ great! Wouldn’t it be nice if life is really a beach and we never have to pretend we are normal? :)
Hope you’re having a wonderful day! xo
“Sometimes I pretend to be normal, but, it gets boring so I go back to being me.” LOL! LOL! I love this quote!!! I’m going to have to steal this one….
Ah! I’m finally catching up on your blog and I love this outfit, you look soo good! The hairpiece is too cute on you KT! (:
wowww…that headpiece looks so pretty on you!
You look lovely dear!

These are stunning photos. Love the backdrop. How I wish I could be near the beach at the moment. Your beach cover-up is almost ethereal and oh so pretty.
I love the beach too — so serene. Your quote definitely hits home. I see myself getting into these random bouts of “this week I’m going to organize my life!” Then, I fall back into who I really am: a disorganized nut, but I wouldn’t be the person I am today if I wasn’t one. :)
Awww, it’s ok, sometimes we’re all just a little nuts lol :)
Stunning pictures!
Thanks for commenting on my blog. Hope to see on it again soon. :)

I’m always happy when I find blogs like yours.
Words of wisdom remembering me of my own principles in life. I resonate with all you said above.
The unknown author quote reflects also my way of being.
Regarding the beach.. I could live in a tent on a deserted beach till the end of life.

Luv the swimwear
I love the cartwheel pictures! And going to the beach does that to me to! You look fabulous as always!
OMG!! I’m LOVING how you’ve rocked the headpiece…so stylish! Your look is amazing!

Normal = perfect. In my perception, that’s what others perceived as it is. Being yourself is great. You don’t have to be others to belong or having others perceived you as normal. Who’s to judge?
I like your happy pictures at the beach! Life should be a beach!! =D
Wow…..this is such a great post KT….gorgeous body & outfit, lovely scenery….what more can we ask for?

omg, i LOVE the headpiece! I want one soooo bad, but i’m not sure they look as good with shorter hair.
Lauren, you should get it, I think it will look great!!
Gorgeous photos!
Check out that hottie with the body!
First of all, those gymnastics shots are so adorable and awesome! I love that you genuinely look like you’re having a ton of fun! :D Secondly, how pretty are you with that flowy dress? I absolutely adore that headpiece on you–so gorgeous! Actually, I think I like you in headbands in general! Those swim pieces are classic and pretty; you’re always so effortless in your rockin’ color blockin’.
Much love,

I love your blog, it’s so inspiring and you look like a total goddess with that headpiece of yours! Your cartwheel photos are hiliarious, I almost choked on my tea when I saw them! Hahaha and I agree, when we are at work or in front of people we have to act like we’re normal. Sometimes IT IS nice to just let loose and be our silly selves!
Your photos are just lovely, almost ethereal. I swoon for the headpiece, it’s giving you some very Carrie-esque like drama!
You + the cartwheel – hilarious! Great post :-)
These some gorgeous photos and really hilarious at that! Those cartwheel photos had me laughing so hard and every time I look at the bottom right, I just burst out laughing again. I’m glad to know you have such a good humor and it’s one of the reasons why I enjoy reading your blog so much (besides all the pretty outfits of course). :)
