how to do summer

summer has arrived, and although i am far from being a summer connoisseur, here are my top six tips for surviving the season:

1. start the day with a satisfied tummy.

2. protect yourself from the sun's beaming rays...bring shade.

3. find a good book and dive into it. recommendation: a homemade life.

4. hydration is not a trend. it is a fact of life. tote your water bottle.

5. satisfy those cravings. feeling savory? how about fish tacos. need a little sweet treat? well hello there, ice cream. follow your heart...or stomach. 

6. and last but not least, be open to love...it's all around!
