Long weekends are my favorites they are the times when I get to indulge in the things that I truly love, and if I am super lucky I get to spend it with people I truly love. Summer weekends seem to be the most exciting, they hold an tingle of adventurous excitement. You never know what stories you will be able to tell come Monday morning.I plan to take full advantage of my early mornings and late night this weekend by pampering my body and relaxing my mind. Here are a few things I plan to do this weekend....

1.

 

Indulge in an endless blue manicure

For the perfect blue try Sinful colors in Endless Blue $2.00 at Walmart

Cheers to the Summer: 10 WAYS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SUMMER!

If a June night could talk, it would probably boast it invented romance.

Summer is on our heels, and to be honest I am not fond of the heat. I am more of a fall kinda girl. Yet, there is still much to be said about sweltering summer days, and feel good summer nights. I have spent the last couple of summers wishing it away. Not this summer. I plan to savor the cool nights, out door events, weekend getaways, and seasonal treats. Here are some simple ways I plan to make the days count. Summer just seems so simple.

1. Relax with late afternoon walks at the park.

2.Use the long days for early morning thrive sessions ( work+ prayer/ mediation+ reading) and  late dinners with friends.

3. Avoid the heat by enjoying lazy afternoons with a great read.

4. Summer is the best time to eat clean, take advantage by whipping up your favorite salad.

5. Give your feet a break; and show them off with a cute pair of sandals and an amazing pedicure.

6. For summer big hair; don't care is always the rule of thumb.

7. Pressed Coffee??? Why? I'm not sure, try it anyway.

8. Weekend Getaways alone; getting way with friends is always nice, but there is something about taking a solo vacation that recharges you in a way like no other.

9. Summer is the perfect time to let your skin breathe, opt out of wearing heavy foundation. Choose a fresh face instead.

10. Beach Days with friends, the family, babies, or alone; spending time at the beach is what summer is about. Don't let the summer pass you by without enjoying an afternoon or two watching the waves.
What are some things that you enjoy about summer? What makes summer so great? Leave a comment, I'm always looking for some great things to try.

Hello Summer; its nice to see you again,
