You need to live on the beach!!! You were born for it!! If you were not born for it, you have grown into it. You are such an upbeat person, I can't imagine a grump in the mirror! Who is that girl in the mirror? :) I like the idea of being a pineapple! I want to be one of those, but, with a hat that excuses me for messy hair. My answer to that is a nice French braid!

Okay, I have been known to wear a messy bun or a French braid on days when I have no idea what to do with it.

Don't you just love those beach shops?? I go to them all time over at the shore and down there. Everything is so fun and cute. Laid back and relaxed, one just has to jump on that bandwagon! Shells? Did anyone say shells? I have a collection of big shells that we went diving for. :) All of the kids are shell people and we lived on beaches. Shells!!!

I want to go shopping with you in those places. I can only imagine how fun that would be! We would have to go get our nails done to go with whatever we buy! :) Thank you for the sweetest shout-out! As you can see I am running way behind this week!What a bad time to do that after the nice words!Thanks always for the fun venture through the shops!

#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world. Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday
