Traveling Office

The positive (and negative) thing about working for yourself is you can work anywhere.  And I mean anywhere.  But once you find something you love it doesn't feel like work anymore.  You no longer mind logging 14 hour days all week long.  I love to travel but that doesn't mean I take the weekend or week off.  I always bring a computer, iPad and notebook for ideas.  Here's a peak into my "travel offices".

Video Friday - Laughs

While traveling Belize this month I met the talented Daniel Mercadante.  He mentioned his video on laughing and I was instantly intrigued.  Hope you have lots of laughs this weekend.

Shooting Borelli's Spring/Summer 2012 Collection in Belize

For this season's Borelli campaign we headed to Belize.  We spent a week shooting the new Spring/Summer colors at Matachica Resort and Spa and Ak'bol Yoga and Eco Retreat on San Pedro Island.  The bright teal ocean, vibrant casitas and white sands were the perfect backdrop for our new palette of Tangerine, Lilac, Bahama Green, Navy and Sunrise Pink.  You can view more of the shoot on our Facebook Page.

Belize - 2

I dreamt last night I was petting a Nurse shark and he looked so peaceful I rested my head on him like a pillow.  He quickly woke up, swallowed me whole and swam away.  I dreamt it over and over.

That's how Day 2 ended.

How did it begin? Embarrassing to say the least. I woke up by myself, because I slept in late. When I tried to leave I couldn't figure out how to open the doors from the inside. The casitas have two sets of double doors. One is glass to protect from the wind, the outer shell is covered in wooden slats. I couldn't even get the inside door to open, I fidgeted, pulled, juggles the locks, could not figure it out! I contemplated breaking the door. I started panicking but luckily I saw the gardener outside and started banging on the inside door, he didn't move or look up. Ugh! I found a little side window and called out to him "I'm stuck inside, can you help me!?" Bewildered he walked closer, I felt like such a wimp, locked in my own casita. He went looking for mom as I calmed down and finally figured out the hidden latch that was holding me captive. It wasn't really hidden but in my panic I totally missed it. Phew- I didn't miss breakfast!  

Belize - 1

 Arrived in Belize today after a 2 hour plane flight from Miami to Belize City, a second leg for 25 minutes from Belize City to San Pedro island, then a 3 minute golf cart ride to the boat dock and a 15 minute boat "commute". We are staying at Matachica for the first four days. Celebrated our first day with a glass of champagne, fresh ceviche and SUP board along the coast. The weather is hot yet breezy, #29 is off to a wonderful start.
