Happy 2014 from Buenos Aires, Argentina! I have been in my second home for ten days now and while I have barely survived the intense heat, I have had one beautiful adventure after another and I look forward to sharing all of the details about them here soon. On another note, although we are only one week into the new year, some pretty exciting things have been happening; I landed my first cover photo on Today’s Charlotte Woman magazine, I was interviewed and photographed for a feature spread in Four Magazine, I announced that I am the new Ambassador for Chic Retreats, and I discovered that an article I wrote about my guided vacation to England and Scotland with Trafalgar is being published in Real Simple magazine. Please excuse my absence for the rest of the week, as I intend to spend every single remaining second with my friends and family before returning home. Next week, I will begin posting about my extraordinary trip to Germany with AirBerlin.
I want to leave you with a valuable lesson I learned last night. At midnight my husband and I were eating dinner (yes, that is the time that Porteños eat) with our younger brothers. As I was about to take a sip of champagne, he grabbed my hand and said, “Mira mi amor!” Right in front of us fireworks began going off for no reason. I quickly grabbed my camera and watched the dazzling show for ten minutes behind my lens.
2014 is already a beautiful start for you 🙂
Yes, thank you!
Congratulations, muchas felicidades hermosa! You deserve this and more, so much more!
2014 is definitely going to be an awesome one and those unexpected fireworks you saw were a sign of what’s coming ahead.
Keep up the great work bella!
Lots of love always, Karlita 🙂
Love this comment and love you! Thanks a million, you deserve everything you want as well! XO
I love your attitude toward this new year, Andi, with all its lovely bits and not so lovely bits. XO I’m so happy for all the good and inspiring things happening for you. 🙂
Thank you darling!!! I feel the same way for you. <3
Happy New Year, Andi! Wishing you all the best in 2014!
Thank you sweetheart, you too! Enjoy your little angel!!!
Great advice – I was supposed to meet the Novio’s extended family in Madrid and was grounded. I knew there was little else I could do but suck it up because there was no way to change it. Here’s to you in 2014!
It sucks so bad when things don’t go our way, but I think I *finally* get that that’s the way it’s meant to be sometimes. I’m such a Type A personality that I feel like I can control EVERYTHING. My hubby has really helped chill me out. Have an awesome 2014 chica!!!
I think we could all use a little of that attitude in 2014. Here’s to serenity!
Cheers to that!!!
Amazing when these beautiful little things come up to remind you of life’s lessons! Happy New Year Andi! x
Yes, so synchronistic! Happy New Year!!! XO
Great motto for the year 🙂
Thanks! 🙂
Great things are happening for you and it’s great to see! Sorry you didn’t handle things so well on NYE but at least you’ve got a great attitude in hindsight!
Thanks and thanks! Fingers crossed I get to see you soon in 2014.
Andi, you’re awesome times infinity!!! Congratulations on all the magazine publicity — you totally deserve that and more!! I can totally see you in major magazines a couple of years down the line — or even a magazine titled “My Beautiful Adventures” — why not??? You rock, woman — I feel so lucky to know you. <3
Awww you just made me tear up. THANK YOU X infinity!!! I really, really appreciate the love and support. You mean the world to me.
Congratulations on such a wonderful start to the new year. Enjpoy the resy of your time in your second home. I do know it’s HOT there now. Take care!
Thank you so much, you’re such a sweet and kind soul!
Muchas felicidades. Sounds like 2014 has started off brilliantly. Those fireworks look great for random ones.
Gracias!!! Yes, brilliantly! Perfect word to describe it!
Wow, Andi, so many AMAZING news! So happy for you!
Looks like 2014 is gearing up to be a stellar year!!
Thank you dear, you’re too kind! Yes, I think this is going to be an amazing year!!!
Great lesson and message at the end of your post – it can’t be expressed enough how true that is.
Agreed! 🙂
I’m sorry you had a rough NYE. It is a day with so many expectations, it can so easily go wrong! I had a great on this year but a rough one the year before. I hope that doesn’t mean I’m in for another tough one next time! Ha.
Nooooo I only see an amazing future for you!!! <3
I’m so excited that you’re getting published in Real Simple – this is big! And I’m thrilled for you that you got your fireworks after all. Here’s to 2014!
Thank you gorgeous!!! You know how much I love my fireworks…
