7/6: Favorite summer song?  Anything by the Beach Boys!

7/7: If you could have a summer job, what would it be?  Working at my local yarn store.

Have you tried any dairy alternatives to ice cream? I've seen Conconut, or Almond or soy on the shelves. Anything been good? 

Ah you picked the Beach Boys, classic summer? @Titian06 

[Titian06]

@CynthieLu - Yes, I eat nondairy ice cream.  I avoid those made with coconut milk as coconut and I don't get along 😝.  I also try to avoid soy due to the estrogens, but will eat it occasionally if it's organic and nonGMO.  I like those made with almond milk.  This past weekend I tried one made with cashew milk.  I was good too (the flavor I bought was too sweet though).  So Delicious is the best mainstream brand.  I live in a rather limited market though.

I was just thinking about pistachio ice cream it’s so good! Now I’m thinking about pumpkin every post I read is inspiring more and more flavors! Dresses with flow and low maintenance makeup sounds amazing @Mellmars1185 

[Mellmars1185]

@peculiarzmakeup Yum! Sounds like you should have some ice cream for desert! 😋🍦

[CorgiMommy]

@Mellmars1185 I agree, low maintenance hair and makeup .  Nothing like a ponytail and your hair is done.

Ooh an Adventure Guide? Where abouts? Or is this more theatrical, like an Indian Jones esque escapade over the summer lol 🤠 @CorgiMommy

@CynthieLu more like a hiking or canoeing guide.  I love the outdoors and why not get paid to hike

[peculiarzmakeup]

Green tea ice cream sounds amazing! That made me think of pistachio for some reason now I want ice cream. Cute outfit for summer choice @CorgiMommy
