The 5 Reasons You Will Love These Summer Finds!
What are you up to this summer? Planning any trips? Get-togethers with family or friends? My summer is off to a great start. My keyword for this summer is “optimism”. I was able to recently get together with a group of colleagues for dinner and it just really felt good. Like, finally, a return to normalcy. I have been planning some fun day trips and also some fun activities, such as making homemade soy candles (new post to come!) and working in my garden. Father’s Day will be pretty sad, since I recently lost my Dad in January, but I know he is in a better place. I can carry on all the things we both loved, such as enjoying the sunshine (with sunscreen!), gardening, going to thrift stores, and wearing hats!

Summer = Cute
Birkenstock Yara Sandals. One thing about these is that if you are like me, they run about a whole size bigger than your regular size. Crazy but true. Also these are sold out in black on Zappos, but you can still get them at Birkenstock. Super comfy, super cute, and will make your feet super happy this summer

Summer = Comfy
High Waisted Straight Leg Jeans from Old Navy. Have you ever been forced to perform the skinny jeans dance, struggling to free your feet from the teeny tiny pant leg bottoms when trying to take them off? Not so with these guys, loving them! FYI, they run a bit small so you may have to go one size larger than what you usually wear.
Summer = Sweet
Watermelon Slushies. Sometimes the best finds are sweet treats! I love this one. It’s like putting a big ol’ bunch of summer in a glass. Recipe: Freeze 3 cups fresh watermelon cubes overnight. In a blender, combine frozen watermelon with an extra 1 cup fresh watermelon, juice from 1/2 lemon/lime, and add 1 tablespoon of raw honey/ agave/ organic maple syrup. Garmish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Enjoy!
Summer = Old-Fashioned Fun
