* this charming cottage at Cottage & Vine! 😍 * the history of Memorial Day * the best burgers - can you say jalapeno drip jam?? |

Since it's Memorial Day weekend here in the States basically everything is on sale so I'm going to share some of my summer favorites!
* you'll probably want this top to go with it! Other colors available as well. Light and loose and summery. $39 |
* I also love these lightweight tops for summer and have them in several colors. I usually wear size L in tops but I sized down to medium $20 |
* Favorite swimsuit coverup but I guess you could use it as a dress as well? Light, silk fabric, fun colors for a beach vacation. Def size up on this one - I went XL. I've had it for 4 years now! |
* I love this romper swimsuit because you don't have to worry about things riding up or down or falling out. Great coverage, comfy, practical and cute. $31 this weekend! Other colors available |
* the next best thing to growing them in your garden - these taste like they are from the garden! Amazing. I've found them at Smith's and Walmart too. I love them cut in half and use them for this recipe but instead of the olive oil I just add a few splashes of red wine vinegar, juice of half a lime, and some garlic salt. I don't do the jalapeno but you can if you like the heat and I leave the avocado for the side because it tends to get mushy with it. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips. And definitely use this corn if you can get your hands on it at Trader Joe's. I also love to throw in some shelled edamame. YUM |
* we use these bowls for everything! Pasta, dinner, lunch - they are so great especially for anything with sauce. |
* if you need some quick color on your legs or arms that lasts a couple of days this is your friend. Quick, dries fast, doesn't smell. I use tan glow and spray it on a tanning mitt and go to town on my legs and upper arms. Let it dry and you are good to go. |
* seamless hair ties - such a simple thing that makes a big difference!! Choose the color that matches your hair the best. |
* elastic fitted tablecloths! They don't blow in the wind and stay put. Such a clever invention! |
* grilling mat - catch those grease stains and protect your deck/concrete! Another great idea |
* Favorite summer candles: Sea Salt & Balsam (if you love Fresh Balsam in the winter this is the summer version), Watermelon Lemonade Casaluna Clarity, and of course Capri Blue Volcano I'm also trying out Sea Salt & Neroli and Midnight Blue Citrus - I'll let you know how I like them. |
* here are some favorite books I've listened to lately. Weeding the garden, folding laundry, scrubbing the bathroom is now enjoyable with these stories that become like friends. Or get them in book form for great summer reads. Everyone is comfortable with different levels of swearing or romance. One of the best tips I got was to read the one star reviews and they usually will tell you just what is in them.
