Summer

Cutest Swimwear

/ jennced15 / 2 Comments

I know . . . most women dread looking for swimsuits. It is like trying to find THAT pair of jeans. It’s not that you can’t find a TON of different options but every woman needs to find the ONE that is perfect for her. There are so many things to consider—What activities will you be doing while wearing it? Where will you be wearing it? How often will you be in it? The list goes on. I can’t say that I have cornered the market on how to find the right swimsuit but here are 5 suggestions for suits depending on the need.

Don’t give up hope! The summer isn’t over and there are still plenty of opportunities to get out in your suit.

  1. For those that swim for exercise 
  2. For those that are swimming and playing with kids 
  3. For those that are sunbathing 
  4. For those that need extra support 
  5. For those that need to integrate their suit into an outfit for in the water and out of the water excursions 

Cheers To You Summer

Don’t you just love summertime food? It seems like everything you eat just has sunshine radiating through it. We had our annual Memorial Day get together and everything tasted better because it came off of a grill or was eaten out in the sun.  Here are 5 recipes that I will be trying while summer is in full bloom. What are some of your favorite summertime foods?

  1. The Best BBQ Chicken Kabobs by Fabulessly Frugal 
  2. Raspberry Sorbet by Creme De La Crumb
  3. Raspberry & Chia Seed Superfood Parfait by Camille Styles 
  4. Spicy Shrimp Taco with Mango Salsa from Pure Wow 
  5. S’Mores Stay At Home Dip by Penny Pinchin’ Mom 

When Hot . . . Do What Makes You Cool

Welcome to summer!

I am super excited!

I love summer!

I know some of you will think I am crazy given the fact that summer usually equals hot but for some reason I would rather figure out how to stay cool then the flipside of this argument (winter hasn’t been my friend for a number of years). This weekend in Portland it is supposed to be summer with a BANG! That’s right—100 degree weather for those of us that are going to brave the heat for the Portland Rose Festival activities. So below are my top 5 things right now that I need in order to stay cool during Summer 2016. What do you need to stay cool this year?

  1. Mojitos: Love this drink!! Try this recipe from Live Like You Are Rich 
  2. Swimming Pool: EVERYONE needs a pool in their backyard. Try one of these on for size. (Pool without dogs is from Beauty Harmony Life)
  3. Maxi Dress: Because what would summer be without the perfect one. Thank you to Fashion Moment! 
  4. Hair Clips & Bandannas: Yes please! With long hair; it has to go up when it is hot out.  See all of the designs with bandannas at Pretty Designs.  
  5. Ice Cream: Come on . . . didn’t everyone love the ice cream truck when you were little? Repeat after me . . . ice cream is our friend! See this recipe at Kitchen Treaty.
