Friday began beautifully with a brilliant sunrise and a type of optimism only Bostonians feel on one of the biggest days of the year. Which day is that you ask?
Well Opening Day for our beloved Red Sox of course!
Feeling a tad bit sluggish I remedied the situation with some green juice (this worked wonders.)
Fresh flowers do always seem to help too….
We celebrated in the with food, raffles/prizes and trivia.
Saturday was so gorgeous we decided to take a hike in Newburyport.
We happened upon an abandoned garden, the “great” house having burned down years prior it was interesting to wander around the foundation wondering which room belonged to whom and even note a sweet burial ground for the families horses.
Sunday we headed to the coast, traveling through Magnolia, Gloucester and finally reached our destination – Essex.
After dining at the well-known eatery Farnham’s, we did a bit of antiquing down the road!
I may seem quite predictable but the pieces that struck my fancy the most were books (from the 17th century no less!) I browsed memoir after memoir, fascinated.
I love pieces that make you think, about their previous owner,
where and why it was purchased, the emotions attached.
Onto a giveaway!
Several months ago Sol Republic sent me a pair of their Relay earbuds which became the absolute best pair I have ever used.
The sound quality is unparalleled and they include a convenient clip that keep
them in your ear during even the most challenging of workouts.
Sol Republic just launched their new Relays video and is offering one Notes On Lifestyle reader a free pair along with a free music download from RUN DMT for everyone.
Did you know most millenials spend four hours with their earbuds
in each day and own on average, 3 pairs!?
Check our their website and let me know the feature you love best in a comment
and you could win a pair of your own.
What was the best part of your weekend?

April 7, 2014I would love them because I need some that block out sounds aside from those coming from my ear buds ๐

April 7, 2014I like the blue earbuds ๐
I'm currently reading a book set in Boston (Live by Night by Dennis Lehane) so a few of the places you mention on your blog sound familiar when I read them.
I am drinking coffee for an afternoon energy boost but I really should be drinking green juice or a green smoothie instead.

April 8, 2014You should have totally bought those old memoirs. I love old books and getting to even touch something from the 17th century sounds so cool. One of my best friends is from Boston and she can go on and on about the Red Sox ๐

April 11, 2014Got into a car accident the other day, nobody hurt, but I've had better weeks. I suppose the chance to win something (recently lost my pair of earbuds as well) is the highlight.

I like your photos, especially the baseball related ones.
