5 Summertime Favorites

Summer is most certainly upon us. Or maybe that's the high of 104 here today talking.



While I LOVE summer, I tend to favor spring and fall and a little more mild temperatures. Or at the very least a good summer rain and thunderstorm to help cool thing off in the evenings. No such luck yet. Just 100+ over and over and over....

But there's still a lot of love. 

With hot temps, more hours of daylight and seemingly more and more going on every weekend, there are a few things that I really gravitate to in the summer.

Here are my 5 favorite things in the this Summer. Outside the obvious ones like air conditioning and beer...

1 | The Sonic Diet Cherry Limeade. I've said once and I'll say it again. And again. Because it's the best. So refreshing on a hot day - PLUS during happy hour you can get a large for $1.22 or something close to that. I'm always buying 4+ for everyone in the office so I don't know the exact price. If you haven't had one of these, get yourself to a Sonic between the hours of 2-4 PM stat. They're low cal too!




2 | Maxi Dresses/Skirts. I live for wearing a maxi. They are the crotchless version of yoga pants and yet they look 100% more dressy and work appropriate. They are perfect in the summer because they hide possibly white or un-toned legs (me) while still allowing some fresh air down there. Plus fun colors and prints for the season! I scored this one at Target for $13 earlier this summer. Be jealous.



3 | Self Tanner. When I'm not in those fabulous maxi's and do have to show my legs, I would like for them to appear tan - and SEXY. Since I am trying to do good by my dermatologist and not soak in the rays for a dark tan this summer (which is tough let me tell you) I use my favorite self tanner. I've tried A LOT over the years and this is my favorite! Fake Bake Flawless. I ordered it on Amazon and it is a gel-spray formula you use with a mitt to apply. It's a little pricey but the bottle I bought spring of 2014 is still going strong! 




4 | Sunglasses. Yes, I know, most people wear them year-round. But I feel like in the summer they become a statement. You have to have a pair at all times. Plus shades make me feel ten times sexier. Or is that just me?


5 | My Dog. Ok he's my favorite year-round. But there's no one better to hang out with in the summer than him. He will never complain about the heat. Plus I love taking him down to the river to cool off!




What are your summertime favorites?

Can you tell I really like car selfies and feeling sexy in the summer? hahahaha

Have a beyond wonderful, safe 4th of July everyone!

  1. The Cherry Limeade at Sonic is my FAVORITE. Whether you're drinking it plain or using it as a mixer it's perfect and delicious and cheap. It can't get much better than that.

  2. I LOVE cherry limeade from Sonic. And now I'm sad that the closest one is like 30-40 minutes here on the freeway (it was just blocks from my college campus...sigh). Sunglasses kill me. We walked a lot today in the heat and I wore my sunglasses (I usually don't on purpose or I forget)...it just rubs my makeup off like crazy with sweat. I just can't wear sunglasses and makeup...it doesn't work for me!

  3. I love the sunglasses you have on in the last pic! Although I do wear mine year round and even on overcast days.

    I'm not sure if I've had the cherry limeade from Sonic.
