Poster girl for mydiamonddays

Just in case anyone is wondering who is the stunning and glamourous creature on the header of the website. No it is not a supermodel or the “next big thing.” It is in fact my sister. I love it and I love how natural and real and happy she looks. And to make her happiness even more amazing, this photo was taken while she was camping with her family and shortly after she had managed to dig the car out of a bog.

And just to be really, really clear, she manages all this gorgeous happiness without meditating – although I’ve been nagging her about it for years so I figure I must wear her down soon…
