These Are a Few of My Favorite Things: Summer

You know the song My Favorite Things from The Sound of Music? You know, Raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens? It's a very fun song from one of my favorite musicals. Anyways, that song inspired me to make a list of my favorite things for each season. And since the Summer Equinox is on Thursday and summer officially starts, what a perfect time to do it.


Summer:

- hair constantly smelling like chlorine and never really being done
- tan lines
- otter pops and ice cream bars
- running outside under the stars
- drinking way too much caffeine and eating complete junk
- staying up to watch the sunrise
- driving at sunset listening to country music on backroads
- reading all day by the pool
- those few days where it rains and you stay inside watching movies and drinking tea
- making a summer playlist
- going to new places with your friends
- driving around at night with your friends and thinking you're the coolest people ever
- sleeping in late
- summer camp
- getting those Instagram worthy pictures
- bonfires
- pink lemonade
- reading so many books
- binge watching a new tv show
- wearing no makeup
- summer dresses
- wearing a swimsuit as underwear
- photoshoots with your friends
- walking along the beach
- going camping and hearing the unzipping of the tent in the early morning
- when it's just cold enough you need a sweatshirt, but you're still in shorts and no shoes
- those deep talks at 3AM
- the smell of sunscreen
- swimming at night
- road trips
- watermelons
- the smell of summer rain
- making s'mores
- iced coffee
- friendship bracelets
- sleeping in tents out in the backyard
- the smell of the ocean and the salty breeze through your hair
- being completely free
- #summer18

And these are just a few of my favorite things.
