If you know me or have read this blog for any amount of time at all, you know SUMMER is MY season. I LIVE for it. Summer speaks to my soul. Yes, even the 100+ degree days when I'm sweating my tail off. I would choose that over another season any day. *And no, I don't "glisten" I SWEAT, and yet, I still love summer*
To me, summer is the epitome of the laid back, feel good days of long ago. You know what I mean? Those days that you keep in your memory forever and are afraid to let go of because they are just that good? That's summer to me. I absolutely LOVE the longer days, lots of nights C doesn't even go to bed till 9 because we forget how late it is and get busy playing/visiting/soaking up the sun! I live for the water; lake, ocean, pool...whatever it may be. I could spend every day in one of those three places and be just fine for the rest of my life.
Summer means outdoor cook outs, porch sitting, porch dance parties, beach sittin', boat ridin', late nights, long days, and good sun kissed skin. Seriously, what's not to love?
If I'm not at work, you will usually find me in a casual dress or my bathing suit and a cover up in the summer. In Beaufort, we rarely "get dressed" after a full day in the sun...and after a quick shower some nights we go straight to PJ's. But, those nights are some of the best. My whole family sat out on the porch Memorial Day weekend and just talked and laughed for hours after dinner while the kids played and most of us were in our pajamas. I love it. I hate doing my hair and make up after a long day in the sun. Too much trouble. I cannot wait for SEVERAL beaufort weekends and even more lake weekends this summer to soak up my absolute favorite time of year.
Here's some things that I live by in the summer:
Sperry flops. When you are on the water and in and out of boats as much as we are, these are a necessity. I've almost busted my BOOTY so many times in my Jack Rogers and other "fancy" sandals...it's best to stick with these most of the time.
Cover ups. I need more all the time. There are so many days when I stay in a bathing suit and cover up long after the sun goes down.
Sunscreen. No brainer. This Neutrogena is my favorite, the helioplex in it is amazing.
BRIGHT lips and BRIGHT toes. Duh. I love going bright this time of year.
Tanning cloths. I always use these in the spring to get ready for summer...you know, so I'm not ghostly pale in my first bathing suit debut of the year.
That's all for today.
