Little touches of Aqua




Soft pretty colours, I adore, from the colour of that little Tiffany blue box to the aqua blue ocean.


Today I bring you a few images to brighten up a grey and overcast day here. 
The sea at Bora Bora really was like this ....the most amazing colour and looked unreal

I an still sporting my Fitbit - just bought a new strap to replace the old one and chose this pretty colour.
Have shared before about buying this and have been wearing it now for over 6 months and I am really enjoying it - During the day it tracks steps, distance and calories burned, and at night it tracks your sleep quality.

 You can sync the tracker to your computer and find out how you are progressing.
The other day I got the 2,000 kilometers Award - this is the distance from approximately Madrid to Berlin, it informed me.   
So the daily walks I do, and the encouragement from family and friends who also have one, all helps.
It's the motivation I need to get out and be more active and push myself a little more.
Savour the moments that make you the happiest
I hope your week is off to a fabulous start.
Carolyn

  4. Hi Carolyn, thanks for sharing more beautiful pictures and what wonderful colours! I love the the blues you have chosen, they are so refreshing. The Fit Bit looks like a nifty "bit" of kit, what a clever idea. What will they think of next!?

  8. You started me off with a smile my friend, because aqua is my favorite color. Juicy and refreshing, in all its hues from a mint/green to the intensity of the ocean like what you show, this is and forever will be my color of happiness. HAPPY WEEK! Anita

  16. Hi Carolyn I have wondered for quite awhile about the fitbit. Do you think it is beneficial?
    The water at Airlie Beach Queensland is that beautiful colour. I love going up to see my son, and get a fix of the wonderful scenery.

  19. Carolyn,
    I can never get enough aqua in my day. I love the color. And that sweet little wooden guy made me smile. The lantern is so pretty. I'm really into unique and pretty lanterns lately. The sea at Bora Bora is stunning. What a great picture.

    Your posts are always filled with beauty and simplicity - two things which I appreciate very much. Thank you.

    love,

    If I get one, do you want to walk from Madrid to Berlin with me??? :)))
    much love...

  29. Hi Carolyn,
    Oh yes Aqua! It indeed lifts the spirit! Where I live in NY the winters are most often gray, and I am left yearning for sunshine.

  32. The ocean is so beautiful Carolyn...I wish I was there. Aqua has always been one of my fav colors. So cool looking. Love the lantern and the jar of buttons. My daughter would love those for sure. But my fav thing today...Is the little guy. He is sooo sweet and sooo cute. I love him for sure.
    You are so talented. A Master in your field.

  33. Dearest Carolyn,
    I really love your Aqua-Colors! Today it's a grey and rainy day (still summer, but with a feeling of autumn) and so they brighten up my day, too! :o)) The little Pinoccio looks funny in his turquoise dress - and there are so wonderful other photos of "emerald"-water, the pretty lamp and your buttons-collection! And I am happy that your fitbit is motivating you!!!
    Lots of hugs from Austria,
    Traude

  38. Dear Carolyn,
    You are fantastic, -I know how hard it is to do this , and you having won that milestone makes me admire you very much, congratulations, dear.
    The photoes of the ocean is amazing , and living so close to it here, so we also can see it from our windows, also gives wonderful moments of unusual colours and gorgeous views.
    I`m sorry to be a little on and off, still, I have the joy of having my daughter and the kids from Copenhagen for yet a little week ,here. So every minute is filled with being together with them. Tonight they visit some of my daughters school friends, and I have a little time spending with you, and some other blog friends :-)
    Hugs from Dorthe

  40. Love this post Carolyn. My daughter's company just gave FitBits to about 80 of their employees to promote fitness (she's a buyer for a company that owns a sporting goods/athletic wear chain) and I learned all about the benefits of it this weekend watching her tracking her activities etc. Now I want one of my own!
