HEY July! Summer is here and is in full swing - heat waves and all! I find I spend what feels like all year dreaming of the summer months, and every year they fly bye. So here is your reminder to get outside, enjoy and explore!
Above is my JULY MOOD(board) - all the summer time feels. Berry picking and flower picking, forest walks and beach chills, lake dips with ice cream cones, patio mocktails and feel-good tunes. Summer adventures, road trips and bike rides.
… and now here are a few specific things I am really into right now:
I’m wearing …
Merge Balmy Summer Roll-On Fragrance
… created by a Canadian brandbased out of Tofino, BC. I originally bought it at The June Motel but you can find it at a number of other small local shops. It’s described as a sweet memory of summer… and that’s why I plan to wear it all year long!
I’m reading …
Meet My at the Lake.
I LOVED her first book Every Summer After, so I had high expectations and this one did not disappoint. I recommend reading it under the sun on the dock or snuggled up at the cottage - it’s the perfect summer read. Fun fact: the author Carley Fortune is from Toronto (and we overlapped at Chatelaine magazine), so lots of familiar references.
I’m using …
SoYoung Ice Packs.
I’ve been using these amazing ice packs from local brand SoYoung. I find myself constantly grabbing them especially during the summer. They are super versatile, a great compact size and I love how they don’t get things wet as they melt. They come in so many beautiful designs as well.
ICYMI -
I had the opportunity to design custom peel-and-stick wallpaper! I designed a floral pattern to freshen up a little girls bathroom - and it turned out so cute! It really is the best feeling seeing your work IRL.
