Hiya there!! Well it is that time again…summer LIST time! And since the summer solstice is just around the corner I thought I’d discuss the things I’m loving right now going on into this lovely season. Something tells me this is going to be a good one, filled with great friends – pool parties and good vibes overall…I’m all about it.
Things I will be…
Eating: all about the fresh salads…anything cold and easy to throw together. I love all things cucumbers and tomatoes still. This without a doubt is my fave cucumbers/tomato mix. And feta. Yes feta for the win. And then of course there is ice cold WATERMELON. Can you think of anything better to eat after a HOT run? I seriously cannot.
Drinking: all of the cold brew and iced coffees there are available. A crisp dry rosé. Fruit infused water.
Practicing: Being in the moment. Always.
Mastering: The art of relaxation. Of letting go. Totally decompressing from a long busy day with back to back commitments. Coming home and just unwinding and loving this season that I’m in.
Learning: It’s okay to flat out say no (to friends, people you love, obligations whatever) if you’re not feeling it and not feel bad about it. My mother grew up a devout Catholic so some of that rubbed off on me – and the guilt thing is something that has taken me years to overcome.
Trying: A sport that I see myself as not being really that good at – like beach VOLLEYBALL!! Haha…I’m going to get good at it y’all. Mark my words.
Playing: With more of my fun running friends!! Off and on the roads or the trails.
Finishing: Decorating my apartment. I’m feeling like the Moroccan look needs to happen. I’m going to start with new couch pillows I think.
Reading: “Mind Gym”. I’ve actually been meaning to read that book for a while. I need some good runner/mental reads to get my mind right for this marathon in September.
Remembering: To do my planks. I did a plank challenge back in the day. I might have to start that back up just for fun.
Wearing: ROMPERS all day. I keep finding good ones on Pinterest.
Cooking: on the grill. I’ve been meaning to do some salmon on the grill actually. With lots of lemon.
Working: On revamping the blog a bit. I feel like the design needs a refresh for sure.
Traveling: and running in some unseen (to me) places. Exploring more of the world around me on foot.
Wanting: Lots of sunshine…I am going to spend about 99.9 percent of my time outdoors this summer for sure. Sunscreen me down baby.
What is on your summer list?!

Love this list! I am also working on saying no and not feeling guilty about it. That catholic guilt is REAL!
HAHAHA that it is.
Love this list, it all sounds perfect for a great summer!

Woohoo!!!
I just found out that I’ve developed an allergy to watermelon. CRIES!!!! How awful is that?! I mean, that’s a like a staple food here in the south! There’s nothing better than ice cold watermelon on a hot day! I’ll just have to look on with envy.
I love the idea of a summer list. I think I’m going to put one together myself and stick it to the fridge to remind me to do things other than lay in the hammock! haha!
Go for it boo!!
