My Provence lavender hunt obsession led me to the Abbaye de Sénanque and while the lavender wasn’t in full bloom, the setting was still picturesque…

Provence is not just about vinyards & purple love, its palette is rich in colors and I particulaly ❤️ this red hot cherry 🍒 tree! so much that I actually fell into a ditch (and broke my phone’s screen 😡) as I was trying to capture its beauty!

Gordes… Gorgeous!

Couldn’t resist sharing this with my little ones so it was time for a quick Skype!

Here’s me practicing my favorite St Tropez passtime: people watching! 😝

The next day it was time to drive off to Italy but not before we stopped @ a random beach near St Tropez where tanners of all ages seemed to take issue with the idea of a swimsuit!

After a long drive it was Pesto time in Portofino ! 🇮🇹

Nature’s splendid beauty was drawing me to it and away from all stress…

Flowers 🌸 & Trees 🌴 in magical harmony…

Lemon trees 🍋 & jasmine … a perfect blend of sents!

Piscina & mare
