I'm a proud mom who's launched two awesome young men pursuing their passions —a Lover; yessss, there's a new man in my life! I've had a long love affair with Paris, my other lover—still dreaming of living there, some day.  Music is my ultimate escape, aaand coffee is my addiction; it's my other morning jumpstart. I have a panache for gardening and an appreciation for all things beautifully designed; you know the saying? Champagne taste, beer budget? That's me! I'll never say no to a glass of wine, believing it's always happy hour somewhere in the world. Am I right?!

I'm slightly food-obsessed, and I can't think of anything more fun than cooking for a hungry crowd! I love to eat, and I live to eat. Cue the workouts! As a retired fitness instructor of 20 years, what?! Yep! It's true, and I know exercise is one of the best ways to slow the ageing process, letting us live longer, healthier lives, not to mention, it feels great! 

My friends are my family, my rocks, they inspire me, and I love how we encourage each other to pursue our dreams. With that, I always say, dream BIG; otherwise, what's the point? Follow me on this journey called life.

I'm Llorea, 

Hey there!
