Anyway, I am rambling but my point here is, I made you a To Do list for finishing out your summer strong and savoring these last four weeks (or however many you're counting) of the season!
☐ Put fancy things in your water (e.g. mint, lemons, cucumbers, berries, or any combination thereof) ☐ Take a picture of a sunset
☐ Buy a new bathing suit if you haven't already
☐ Try all the flavors of Diet Coke (i.e. Fiesty Cherry, Ginger Lime, Blood Orange, etc.)
☐ Get a new pair of sunglasses – the cheap, obnoxious kind that are usually in the shape of something. Often times found at gas stations.
☐ Drink iced coffee in the afternoon
☐ Go to a baseball game
☐ Read a book with a body of water on the cover (e.g. beach, lake, etc.)
☐ Learn how to make a good Frosè
☐ Visit some place in Arizona you’ve never been before
☐ Eat Watermelon
☐ Walk barefoot in soft grass
☐ Make a root beer float (Is there an alcohol that goes well with these? Asking for a friend)
☐ Plant a succulent
☐ Dip your toes (or also your whole body) in a lake
☐ Take a nap in a hammock
☐ Make S’mores (no camping trip required – although they do taste better that way)
☐ Buy a bouquet of sunflowers and put them on your desk, or your kitchen table, or anywhere they will brighten your day
☐ Watch a sunrise
☐ Go swimming at night. In the middle of the week.
☐ Wear a fanny pack somewhere (preferably any shade of neon)
☐ Buy a candle that smells like summer and burn it in your house (burn the candle, not your house)
☐ Buy a lotion/perfume/cologne that has a tropical island in its name
☐ Make a fruit salad
☐ Go for a bike ride at night
☐ Learn all the words to Bicycle Race by Queen and sing them when you go for a bike ride at night ☐ Play life size versions of games in your backyard (e.g. Jenga, Connect Four, Yahtzee, Checkers, etc.)
☐ Brunch so hard
☐ Order something off of the secret menu at In N Out
☐ Write down three things you’re thankful for at the end of every day
Now, go out amongst the heat and sun and live your best summer life before it's gone.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose! (-
