My favorite season is officially here - it’s time for summer, my loves! There’s nothing I crave more than a sun-drenched day with no plans ahead except whatever I create. The school schedule has come to an abrupt halt and my kiddo isn’t busy with camps this summer so we’re going to make the most of every day in our own special way. Tempering busy days with slow moments is the key to taking in summer without letting it all fly by in a blur!

It’s also a great time to explore the textures of nature in ways that keep us young and curious. I highly recommend picking up a disposable camera to snap your summer in slow motion - keep it in your bag and bring it out when the mood strikes with the aim to have it capture moments all summer long. Getting it developed in September will be such a visual treat and the perfect way to preserve memories in tactile form.

Make a checklist of things you want to do, try, see or experience this summer and go after it! Be courageous, be independent — and be flexible in allowing plans to change with the flow of life. Whether you feel like a summer girl, or a true winter queen, I want you to make this SEASON all about you because you deserve it ♡

“In the middle of winter I at last discovered that there was in me an invincible summer” — Albert Camus
