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!
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.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI love the sunglasses you have on in the last pic! Although I do wear mine year round and even on overcast days.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I've had the cherry limeade from Sonic.
