Neary Lagoon:

      Here on Satin&Salt I love to share my favorite stylings as well as recipes that I devour, but what I am really trying to highlight is the simple desire to live well. This can be done in many ways, whether it's upcycling old furniture for a custom look that saves a ton of cash, or even making yourself an "unbirthday cake" just because! Today, I am putting a spotlight on living well by visiting beautiful places like Neary Lagoon here in Santa Cruz, California. 

      Santa Cruz has been my home for more than 3 years now and my favorite local hang out is this quiet lagoon. This is my utmost favorite place to take short walks, sit down and read a book, or just witness the local wildlife. Sometimes it is essential to take a break from the everyday chaos of life and just let your brain relax... Don't you agree?

(I felt real lucky to get a moment with this butterfly before it fluttered away)

(Nine West flats that I have been wearing everywhere as of late.)

     Whatever life throws my way, I know I always have a place of refuge in Neary Lagoon, do you have a favorite location to escape to?

Yours,
Nico
