Be ready for paradise….think like a mermaid, swim like a turtle, relax like a seahorse, shine like a starfish, sway like a palm tree, flip flop like a dolphin, float like a jellyfish, breathe like a whale, dance like butterflies, talk to a pelican, don’t be a crab, be nautical, make limeade out of limes, laugh you're on vacation.
Believe toes are to wiggle in the beach sand, build a sand castle, create a sea shell heart in the pink sand, absorb the ocean’s sound in the seashells, endorse the sunshine in your face, surf an ocean wave, wade in a pool of tropical fish, spot all the sealife swimming in the waters, feed the seagulls chips in a bowl, gaze at the coastal birds flying by, see the movement of the clouds up above, follow a directional arrows beach stake sign….. to somewhere, smell the tropical flower scents on the way.
Take time to smell a coconut, dress for a day at a fun resort, embody yourself with beauty products in tropical scents, for your women’s apparel… a palm beach sun dress is the fashion pick, wear a rattan weaved sun hat on your head, adorn yourself with tropical jewelry, make a beach bag your purse, slip on your best women’s beach sandals, go boutique shopping,
Drive a golf cart to the store, spend a sea dollar, buy yourself a sea treasure gift, send a gift with a note card to someone you know, shop for beach home goods everything, accent your home with beach décor, hang wall art of fun beach sayings in your beach house, place a flip flops welcome mat at your front door.
Plant a garden of sea life sculptured statues outdoors, strings lights and lanterns…. wherever you can, hang an octopus wind chime to make musical sounds in the breeze, add an aqua wood adironack chair to your outdoor living space decor, adopt an iguana you found in the yard, sip a margarita in your pool while sitting on a pink flamingo float.
Celebrate christmas…. coastal style, decorate with beach,themed ornaments on a sea coral christmas tree, find coastal friends that think like mermaids too, have a girls only luncheon on an island by boat, enjoy happy hour anywhere anytime, drink a cocktail from a pineapple, party in a tiki hut, always embrace…. women love wine.
Rest in a hammock between the palm trees, dream in bright tropical colors, search for the bottom of the rainbow, know the cross that anchors your soul, tomorrow is really the next day, experience the love of a soulmate, discover dining at sunset, notice a half moon together, share the beauty of an oyster pearl in a ring, inspire sunrise memories, live like the sun is out everyday of your life…………..
And flamingo in paradise
