Summer Favorites
Okay, let’s talk summer favorites
Makeup 💄
Rare Beauty’s Stay Vulnerable Glossy Lip Balm in Nearly Apricot
This is my go-to summer lip balm. It looks so fresh. And it feels so light and moisturizing! Something simple and elegant to wear on a hot summer’s day. Love the lip balm colors in Nearly Apricot and Nearly Mauve.
Dessert 🍨
Talenti’s Gelato Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip
Hot weather equals every cold dessert you can imagine. Gelato is so incredibly creamy and delicious. The black raspberry gives a refreshing, sweet and a tad tart taste. And if you are a chocolate fan, it is surrounded with small bits and pieces of chocolate chips throughout.
Movie 🎥
Roman Holiday
Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. They are quite the lovely pair. Audrey and Gregory have a simple, funny and natural chemistry that makes the film jump off the screen. It is one of my favorite romantic comedies to watch. Furthermore, Audrey’s outfits in this film are my absolute favorites. They are elegant, chic and timeless. I adore this movie.
Book 📖
“Shadow and Bone” by Leigh Bardugo
Mystery and Fantasy are among my top favorite genres. This book has all of that and so much more. The author, Leigh Bardugo, allows you to escape and live the adventure. I watched season one of the Netflix series and wanted to learn more about the “Shadow and Bone” world building. I can’t wait to read more of the series.
Shows 📺
“The Bear” on Hulu
This shows embarks on a heartwarming and heartbreaking journey with chefs that grow to work through their differences and become family. But it is not an easy road to get there. Not at all. There are moments of intense chaos to a peaceful assembly of dishes. You get to see each chef grow and how their dishes evolve with their growth. Grab your favorite snacks and bring some extra tissues.
“Extraordinary Attorney Woo” on Netflix
A lawyer show that is giving all the “Legally Blonde” vibes. This show has incredible heart and a ton of laugh out loud moments. The story follows a woman named Woo Young-Woo with autism spectrum disorder. She becomes a lawyer who can outsmart anyone. Joining the law firm as a rookie lawyer, the staff underestimate her at first. But as the cases begin, she shows her incredible legal skill and how much she loves practicing law.
Summer Song 🎶
“Daylight” by Harry Styles
Turn on this song on a beautiful sunny day and just dance. Trust me, it is a great summer song to relax to. It is one of those “I feel like I’m in a movie montage” songs. Harry Styles, you wrote a splendid album. Thank you! 🤗
Shoes 👟
Reebok Club MEMT in White/Navy
You finally find that outfit that is light, cool and stylish, but you still have to find the shoes to match. For me, these Reebok trainers are now my go to for almost any outfit. Lastly, these are some of the most comfortable trainers that I have ever owned. Comfortable and stylish. We love to see it and wear it.
Breakfast favorite
Vanilla Greek yogurt with blueberries and granola
Fresh fruit in the morning is wonderful. A great way to start out the day. For me, I like to add blueberries to my vanilla greek yogurt with a little granola to place on top. The creaminess of the yogurt goes great with the tartness of the blueberries and balances out the sweetness of the granola.
Plants/Flowers 🪴🌸
Plumbago
Pink and Green carnations
English Lavender
Plumbago blooms in July are one of my most favorite to see. They have a splendid mix of blue and indigo. It creates a beautiful contrast with the surrounding greenery of the leaves and stems. This is a plant that will make you smile at every glance you take.
Fresh flowers are lovely to have. These carnations bring a fresh aroma and brighter look into my space. Also, they are very affordable which is definitely another plus for me.
English lavender smells absolutely lovely. It brings that calm and relaxing atmosphere that every week needs. Also, the lavender cascading over a pot looks gorgeous.
