When one of my bestest friend’s husband turned 40 this year and invited me to Mexico, I was like HECK TO THE YES. I’ve never been and also, girlfriend, I NEEEEEEDED a break.
It was the first time I’ve ever been FULLY PRESENT on vacation, not worrying about my business, my baby or all the responsiblities that come with being a grownup (boooooooo, adulting sucks).
Mexico was INCREDIBLE. We stayed in a house ten feet away from the water and at any given time you could hear the waves slowly brushing against the sand. Sunrises were gold and blue and red and at night, the stars were the clearest I’ve ever seen them.
It made me realize how beautiful this world is for those of us lucky enough to slow down and notice. It also taught me that walking along a beach with three of my favorite girlfriends is the STUFF OF MAGIC; it can cure heartbreak, exhaustion, self doubt and all the things. Oh, and that laughing with your girlfriends is better medicine than anything science will EVER stumble across.
Enjoy a sneak peek into the most beautiful vacation I’ve ever taken so far in my life. Hope these images bring you a little tiny bit of the magic I experienced and I hope they encourage you all to make a little bit of time to stop and look around. And see how damn beautiful it all is.
You are simply stunning. Those pictures capture life simply standing still which we all need every now and then. Thank you for sharing
Wow, Irina! These are national geographic, travel channel, high end magazine, art pieces! Not only are you gifted behind the camera, but you’re incredibly beautiful in front of it as well!
I can’t wait to take you on vacation to record my moments!
Just gorgeous! I wish I had an ounce of the confidence you have. The trip looks spectacular and you radiate glowy warm light.
Let’s go back already! These gorgeous pictures are too much to handle. YOU are beautiful
