I firmly believe summer is only ⅔ complete and September still counts as a month of summer. If you try to come at me with "summer ends at the end of August" I say "NOPE!!!! You're wrong!" Especially if you're done school and don't have to think about going back, summer definitely doesn't end when OTHER people have to go back to school. (PS. I've been out of university for three years now and around the end of August I still get that sinking feeling of "Shoooot, school starts again soon." Does that ever go away? I also still dream at least 3x a week about flunking out of university the day before graduation!!!)
But I digress....
It's been a long, hot, GOOD summer. I got to do so many things this summer that 9 0r 10 months ago I couldn't imagine ever getting to do again (horseback riding, boating, girls trips, etc).
Here are some of my favourite things from one of my favourite summers:
Podcasts:
If you're a fan of Chris D'Elia's standup, you should know each episode of his podcast is basically an hour of standup, except he's sitting and you can't see him. But seriously, it's so funny. A really good, easy listen.
American politics is a giant dumpster fire right now and this podcast (hosted by three guys with incredible resumes including White House work for Obama!) addresses all of the issues and topics we need to know about. They explain things really well, have great guests, and often bring things up that don't get as much coverage in the news as they should.
Music:
Take Me - Aly & AJ They're back babyyyyy!!!!
Get Free - Lana Del Rey So catchy!
Kendrick Lamar - King Kunta
Hair:
Maui Moisture Bamboo Fibre Blow Out Mist - Smells so good and makes your hair feel thicker and softer!
Makeup and Skincare:
ColourPop Lightning Bug - A super rich and beautiful colour. A swipe of this on your eyelid makes ya baby blues POP!
Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Bronzer
Sephora Coconut Lip Balm
Books:
Bad Feminist - Roxane Gay
Roxane Gay is an excellent writer and these essays give you a whole lot to think about!
A perfect, mysterious, easy beach read.
TV:
SUCH a funny show, rich with comedy legends and it's so easy to watch.
I think there are a million more things I'll think of as soon as I hit "publish" so I'm sure I'll be back to update this soon!
Happy summer-ing,
