Fifi Lapin, Tea and Me

Fifi Lapin, an hare-ss (heiress) to her father's fortune, is the quintessential rabbit. She's a socialite, loves fashion, and has her own blog & shop. What more could a rabbit-ista ask for? Fifi has been featured in popular fashion magazines and has collaborated with top designers on various projects. The lovely people at Iconemesis collaborate with industry's finest artists such as Fifi Lapin, and together they create beautiful iPhone covers for your cell phone. Iconemesis sent me this beautiful Fifi Lapin Teacup iPhone cover. Upon receiving the cover, it truly made me feel like a ritzy, glitzy, heiress.

As I sipped my cup of tea this weekend, I pondered about the word "heiress". An heiress, is a woman who inherits or expects to inherit great wealth. The dictionary equates great wealth with a very large sum of money. However, is it not possible for one to be rich and wealthy non-monetarily? Let's think about this.

Of course, we all need money to live in this world. Man has made it that way unfortunately. However, I think each of us have seen countless examples where large sums of money doesn't guarantee happiness for someone. I feel one can be equally as (if not more so) rich, wealthy and satisfied within when filled to the brim with such things as love, caring, sharing, kindness and giving. Ohhhh, my thoughts and teacup runneth over! Please have a confetti cupcake!

In conclusion, what I'm trying to say is that sometimes in life, it's the little things that matter. You may not be an heiress. You may not have an exorbitant amount of money. However, it's important to FEEL and THINK rich thoughts each and everyday. The kind gesture the people at Iconemesis did by sending me this pretty Fifi Lapin Teacup iPhone cell phone cover, put a BIG SMILE on my face. Every-time I use my phone, it makes me happy. I like looking at it. It was chilly outside this weekend, so I created a tea party for one inside. I filled a teacup with hot tea, read some interesting books, snacked on confetti cupcakes & sugar cookies and smiled at my cool new iphone cover. These are a few of my favorite things and they truly warmed me from within. How do you like my new cell phone cover? Take a look at Iconemesis' website for more beautiful iPhone cell covers.
