Hi lovers. How are you? It had been a while since I hit a museum. With the weather being so beautiful, I've just been enjoying the outside life, since as most of you know, I tend to hibernate during the wintertime. Summertime is probably the time of year where I spend most of my time outdoors and away from the computer, so bear with me. Life has been swell. I'm finished with school for now, until June 15th at least because I'm taking summer classes. This past Friday, boyfriend and I decided to hit up MoMA. The last time we visited was in February. Luckily for us, they had all brand new exhibits and pieces on display - AND the sculpture garden was finally open! I really enjoyed the Impressions from South Africa exhibit, as well as the Francis Alÿs: A Story of Deception exhibit (couldn't take pictures, unfortunately). I also had the chance to see the Picasso: Guitars exhibit, but I wasn't very pleased and a little on the bored side. All in all, I got to see some great pieces, as well as in the architecture/design collection, which I don't normally enjoy. The day was great and the weather was comfortable, so that was a plus. On Saturday, we headed to the Yours Truly BBQ and met up with some friends. I don't know how I ended up on the grill, but I did and I must admit - I was a master! This weekend was really enjoyable and I'm just hoping the summer keeps up because I've been having a great time. Thanks for reading, lovelies and I hope all is well.

XO
