P A N G E A

Pangea is this past world idea of having a world without boundaries and borders. There were no passports or control. We were all one world. It seems like a foreign concept, but there was no concept of foreign affairs during the time of Pangea. When was the last time there were no limitations to travel? Travel, to me, is knowledge. I have become aware of so many different cultures and lifestyles throughout my travels and it is truly eye opening. The LEAVE A NOTE mailbox, at the north end of Wrightsville Beach, is a sort of melting pot. Inside there are notes from locals, students, and vacationers writing about their lives, troubles, pursuits, and happiness. Many are anonymous and many are signed. With notepads ands pencils handy, there are no restrictions to the words inside the mailbox. 

Beach EssenSHELLS

There are plenty of ways to prepare for the ideal beach day other than having a brilliant group of beach dwellers and surfer boys believe it or not. Let's start with the skin. Coconut Oil does wonders for the rejuvenation of dry and plea skin. It can leave you glowing after just one use. Another suggestion is that big, floppy, and much appreciated sun hat. Not only are they super cute, but protective from those harsh rays of the sun. One last thing we can bring to enhance the day is an oversized beach towel. If you are anything like me, there is no keeping sand completely off the towel so by getting that extra room there is more towel for you once the sand gets on. These three essentials are one time buys that can last you a whole summer of beaching it. So pack your bags, grab your gals, and hit the beach better than ever!

The Golden Hour

The Golden Hour a film by my fellow classmate at UNCW, who happens to also be my good friend, Grace Sullivan captures the beauty and serenity of sunsets. The film is about “the golden hour” which is a special time of day right before and after sunsets where it is statistically proven that people have elated energy and more positive moods. By interviewing friends and family and then filming around the country, Grace creates a beautiful piece with great energy. Click on the link to watch her masterpiece on YouTube.
