The Ultimate Summer Beverage: Spicy Peach Margaritas
What’s a summer day without something cool to sip on? I had one of these in Santa Fe that was so good it was almost a religious experience,
Picture this:
Serve it in a charming glass, I like to rim it with Tahini, and add one of those peach gummy rings and a lime . It's an easy, delightful way to impress your friends at your next gathering. Or you can do a peach slice and a jalepeno garnish! Spicy, icy, and Sexy!
Pool Floaties that Make a Splash
No summer is complete without some fun in the water. While classic pool floaties are always enjoyable, consider quirky alternatives. Imagine lounging on a giant slice of pizza or relaxing on a vibrant flamingo float! I'm really obsessed with the Fun Boy Golf Cart one! Want!!
So many options
I unapologetically bought a solar flamingo pool. Sorry not Sorry!
These eye-catching designs not only enhance your comfort but also serve as a fantastic backdrop for summer selfies. Plus, they are perfect for enjoying your spicy peach marg. in style. I will be taking pics.
Breathable Summer Fashion: Linen and Caftans
Comfort is essential during hot summer days! This is where linen comes in, acting as your go-to savior while at the beach, poolside, or just heading to the farmer's market or brunch.
A stylish kaftan or airy sarong not only protects your skin from the sun’s harsh rays but also adds flair to your beach outfit. Available in a multitude of colors and patterns, you can mix and match to create a look that’s uniquely yours. For example, pairing a floral cover-up with a bright swimsuit can create an eye-catching ensemble that keeps you cool while looking fashionable.
I bought this one!
I feel that Caftans and Cocktails aks Caftailing is the best current trend ever! Wearing breezy outfits while having titchys with the gals is the Palm Royale/ Golden Girls trend I never saw coming!
Linen is cooling. It dries quickly, and it is breezy and beautiful! It screams old money!
I want more linen in my life stat! Here is a peice I'm coveting right now.
The Perfect Portable Speakers
Summer is synonymous with music and fun, and a good portable Bluetooth speaker can elevate those vibes. It's essential for spontaneous beach sessions, park picnics, or backyard barbecues.
Choose one that is waterproof and easy to carry—after all, you want your tunes to follow you wherever you go. I own both of these! The former is great to hide in a teapot etc but it packs a punch!
The latter is precious for fireworks displays or picnic dates. It gives that retro romantic feel. . .
Sun-Kissed Skin with Drinkable tanner! Truly a tan in a bottle
I was skeptical about this highly sus viral trend. . . But since I'm trying viral shiz this summer, I gave it a try. Sorelle. It stinking works. Guys. I'm like suddenly really tan for me who wore my own makeup to play Snow White! You just drink a dropper full a few times a day and it pigmints your skin from the inside out!
I have to say I'm impressed. I haven't had a glow like this since my lifeguarding years!

Nourishing Snacks for On-the-Go
With all the summer activities, it’s easy to overlook nutrition. Healthy snacks keep you energized and satisfied throughout the day.
Think of convenient options like trail mix, energy bars, or freshly cut fruit. Opt for snacks high in protein and healthy fats, such as almond or cashew nut mixes. A study by the American Heart Association suggests that protein-rich snacks can help maintain energy levels longer. Stock your backpack with nutritious choices, and feel great as you fuel your adventures!
I love my bento boxes, my salad to go stuff etc. I need to stop but I can't get enough!
Summerween
So I'm not going full blown on the summerween stuff. BUT Syd and I are starting on our spooky viewing a bit early. We are watching Supernatural on the regular and rewatching Bram Stoker's Dracula (Our personal favorite) and I've been listening to Phantasma on audible. It's fantastic and it grabbed my attention right away. So far so great!
Summer Fun Awaits
As the season unfolds, incorporating these summer favorites can transform your experience. From Fancy drinks, to outdoor movie nights, a world of excitement awaits you beyond basic beach gear. Each of these picks adds a special touch that elevates your summer from ordinary to extraordinary.
