The Haute Life in a Hammock

A lot of people don’t know this about me, but I’ve always wanted a hammock or as you would say in Spanish “Una Maca.”  It’s not a secret or anything, it just doesn’t usually come up.  Some of my greatest naps as a child were spent on hammocks either on the beaches of Venezuela or in the woods of Maine.  I’m an Irish/Latina hence the polar opposite choices of vacation destinations.  My background has really made me the well-rounded person I am today.  However, I’m hoping that someday owning a hammock of my own will make me a well-rested person for once.
