Aloha beautiful people!

   This is my first post on my new and upcoming blog! I have found that nature is where I am happiest, and I am the happiest on or by the beach. I am starting this blog to share my love of the beach, collecting beach treasures, my photography as well as smoothies and smoothie bowl recipes!

   Let me start by saving today was perfect! My fiancé and I spent the day around St. Augustine. We started our day at the new St. Augustine aquarium. It was not very big, but for $8 it wasn't bad at all!
 

   I got to see one of my favorite sea animals which is the Sea Horse! Small but amazing creatures! Did you know that seahorses prefer to swim in pairs with their tails linked together? Or that few marine predators eat the seahorse? I must say they are pretty magnificent little things!

   After our aquarium experience we went to Saint George street and walked the town. Or course I had to go buy some little things for myself because it is my favorite place to shop!

   Well my fiancé knows that my favorite place to be is the beach. Even though it was raining out we went to the beach and waited for the rain to stop. Perfect time to beach comb! I have to say it was perfect. Not only was it calm and not raining anymore but it was also low tide! ( perfect time to comb for shark teeth) As I get on all fours like a crazy person the fun starts. I don't know why I find beach combing so much fun, but I have to say the passion probably started from going with my mom when we first moved to Florida. My mom and aunt used to take my cousins and I all the time. Well I guess the passion never died. When I went as a kid we mostly would just look for shells and beach glass. Looking for beach glass became too easy so as I got older I started looking for shark teeth.

   I actually will never forget the first shark tooth I got. I was very young and my grandpa gave me this big great white shark tooth. I don't remember where he got it from but I never got rid of it. growing up I used to look at it and just think, Wow this came from a big a** shark lol. As time went on I started to really love looking for shark teeth. I would look up new places in Florida to search and my Fiancé and I started going to different beaches all along the Florida Coast.

   Today wasn't the best for finding my little mermaid treasures but I did get a few good teeth. Yet I don't know how my Fiancé always finds bigger teeth then me, makes me mad haha. No but the high I get from finding a shark teeth is amazing! And it is super addicting!!

   Like I said we didn't find much today but it was still exciting! Sadly after our little beach adventure today we did not do much. But we did eat some pretty darn good Macaroons that we got in St.Augustine.
   Well I guess I will wrap up this first blog since today there wasn't much to blog about! :)
