We are destined to make the best of EVERY season. I absolutely LOVE summer and all things related. The sun, beach/pool, clothes, food, travel, and time with friends and family make me grin from ear to ear. Below are some of my favorites (some new, some old) associated with each of the aforementioned things.
The Sun
For the naturally pale faced like me and Audj, a little tanning oil goes a long way. Banana Boat works really well. Gives me a bronzed glow while the low spf keeps me from burning or turning red. For those of you trying to dodge the sun as my hubby does, Coppertone Sunscreen Sprays Spf 30-50 are perfect- non greasy, easy application, and maintain your natural sexy chocolate complexion.

Clothes
Everyone has those few items that they can’t wait to rock once Memorial Day arrives, whether it be white linen pants, a flowy summer dress, or super cute sandals. I have tank tops in every color and look forward to finding new ways to mix and match them with whatever kind of shorts are in style that year. Old Navy, DSW, and endless.com are my go-to shopping places.

Food
I had this incredible dessert that a coworker made about a month ago. I liked it so much I made it the following weekend. The recipe is this simple:
Mix 1 box of Angel Food cake mix with 1 can of crushed pineapple. (Don’t follow the directions on the box, other than the indicated temperature and time for baking). When finished baking(knife comes out clean) allow to cool. In a large aluminum pan or truffle bowl, layer chunks of angel food cake(break apart with your hands), cool whip, and whatever berries you like(blueberries, strawberries, raspberries are all in season and super cheap). It’s light, healthy, and soooo yummy! *The pic below is the closest I could find to give you an idea.

Friends and Family Time
Best parts of summer are the unending festivals, parades, and outdoor concerts. I personally can’t wait for my major excursion of the summer-Caribana in Canada with my family!
