My Summer Essentials: pretty much stays the same every year.
Let's start with what you would find in my bag ...
~ a linen towel (Never know when you might swim or sit on damp grass with a cool drink.)
~ a water bottle (If you think I drink tons of water in other seasons summer has me drinking like a mad woman.)
~ sunscreen (I'm a real stickler for SPF 30.)
~ sunglasses (Always.)
~ a little camera (Always.)
~ a notebook (Summer is when I think of my best ideas so I have to be on the ready at all times.)
Beyond the bag my Summer Essentials include ...
~ fruit (I really don't eat fruit in the winter or even spring but in the summer it's all I can think about morning, noon and night.)
~ my nephews (Always love them more than anything ever {as of two weeks ago I now have two!} but in the summer we can play outside ... life doesn't get much better.)
~ swimming in ponds (Can't get enough swimming and I'm a real sucker for ponds ... don't even mind the murk!)
~ stripes and patterns (I'm not usually one for a lot of pattern but in the summer I like to mix it up. This year in particular I have definitely been feeling the mash-up.)
~ sunsets (Come on now. What else can be said?)
I wish you a wonderful mid-Summer, friends. See you back here very soon.
