10 Reasons Why It Needs to Be Summer Again

You walk outside to grab the mail. BOOM you freeze your balls/tits off. Awesome, right?

I envy everyone who lives in an area where the temperature doesn't drop a degree below 60. Seriously. Trade me spots. Asking for a friend here. 

Not only do the extra layers of clothing take extra time to bundle yourself in, but they make you look frumpy & just uncomfortable.

Winter Layers

Expectation Vs Reality

 While my skin is dry and walking outside makes me want to run away, I can't help but dream about the better times. The warm fucking weather times. Brings out the inner mermaid in me.

If you're like me & live in an area where the Winter months are a drag, you can all agree with me as to why Summer is the best.

1. Tanning
I'm a very pale lady, and I crave sunlight. Laying out in your bathing suit (or birthday suit) is just relaxing AF. Who doesn't love that bronze glow?

2. Driving with the windows down
A nice cruise in mid-July is fucking fantastic. Roll down those windows and feel the warmth and nice breeze. Ahhhh. If you drive a jeep, make sure you put your hair up!

3. More activities
No matter what you're into, warmer weather leaves a bigger window of things you can be doing. Swimming, hiking, fishing, or just sitting outside & finally not being a hermit after that long Winter.

4. Statistics
Studies have found that depression & anxiety seem to peak in the colder months, since there is little to do and no sun to make ya feel a little happy.

5. Sunglasses
Um. Everyone looks fly in their shades.

6. Fashion
I don't know about you, but I'd prefer sandals & tank tops over sweaters & boots any day.

7. Booze
Yes, I know. Booze are good in the sun & snow. Isn't it nice to take your beer outside and cookout? Or take a few shots and hop in the lake? BUT, have you seen these liquor popsicles?!



8. Expenses
So much cheaper since you don't have the heat blasting throughout your home. Who doesn't want to save a buck? Now you can buy booze for those popsicles. ;)

9. No School

I don't think I even need to explain the greatness of not having to get up at 6 AM to get the kiddies (or yourself) ready for school. Are you on board with me on the Summer boat yet?

10.  Camp Fires
In the warmer months, the sun seems to never go down. Unwind in the evenings/night time and build a little fire, surround yourself with a group of kick ass people, & enjoy.

I could probably throw you 100,000 reasons as to why I'd rather it be Summer year-round, everywhere. I guess I gotta remind myself that it's well on its way. I'm stocking up on bikinis, shades, and booze right now, as we speak. Are you ready? :)

Yeezus Brand Vs Your Own Scissors

Unless you live under a rock, you probably know who Kanye West is. 

'Ye has been dropping music since 2004. Whether you're a fan or not, he is a topic of convo for every news outlet. Instead of getting into detail about the artist himself, I want to talk a little about his fashion line. 

Every celebrity is rocking his shit. From shoes to ridiculously over-priced tees. & unless you can afford to drop $500 on a shirt, it's time to get creative.

I'm not sure why distressed clothing is so trendy right now. But I've hopped on the bandwagon. Everyone wears holes in their jeans. And now, it's cool to have a shirt that looks like it made it out of World War 2.

Guys. I'm not even shitting you. People actually pay good money for this. $500. For that. ------> 

I'm not hatin' on you Kanye. You're killin' it in the fashion industry. 

But I'll be damned if I'm not about to take a pair of scissors and do this myself. 

If you've been on the fence about this trend, take an old shirt and just fuck it up. What could go wrong? 

I guess it's the idea of looking like you don't care. If that's the case, count me in. 

I distress my own jeans, so I thought I'd try this out. If you can get a t-shirt from a thrift store for $3 and make it look like it came fresh from a Yeezy store, why wouldn't you? Don't be a label whore. Although, I'm sure Mr. West would appreciate it. 

I don't feel the need to give a step-by-step tutorial. There's a million on YouTube already. Shout out to you savvy fuckers. Use scissors & a razor. Go crazy on that shirt & the outcome may surprise you. 

If you do it right, you may be able to tell everyone it's from Yeezy Season 4 & you totally paid $500 for it.

DIY Popsicle Stick Photo Frame

I'm a photo hoarder. I love having perfect shots of every moment. Nice to have memories hanging on the wall. 

I like to get crafty (sometimes). 

Although, I'm not really the DIY guru. I try to find the easiest way to make something out of nothing. It's the lack of effort I enjoy I suppose. 

Photo frames are a MUST in my home. I have some in every room. I wanted a new way to show off the cute little snaps. 

So here I am, telling ya'll how to keep it simple & cute! 

Make a frame from popsicle sticks! 

This is also a project that the kiddos would like to take part in!

I like the popsicles on the basic wooden stick. So to spice it up, I just paint them whatever color I decide. I like black & white photos on a dark background, so black was my first choice.  

Just paint & glue together! Add your photo and maybe some stickers or jewels! 

Easy, cheap, and cute. Wanted to share something a little different. Thanks for reading!
