I love love love the beach, bodies of water in general make me feel nice and stuff. I think it is because I was born not far from a beach in Abidjan.

Anywho, when I was at my favorite beach in Cote d’Ivoire this past month I started collecting these beautiful white shells. Wellssss my mom knew a cool jewelry maker that made the shells into a necklace for me for like $5! I swear, you can get anything made in Africa for the price of a Cinnabon.

I’m just so happy that now I can wear an unforgettable piece of Cote d’Ivoire around my neck anytime 🙂 Jewelry is such a great souvenir of ones travels.
