7/11: Plan a picnic!

Did this... Beef hot dogs with avocado, cucumber and carrots on the side, baked sour cream & onion chips, and coke zero.  The avocado on the dog is a nod to Crif Dogs' Chihuahua, which is delicious.

7/18: Summer beauty must-haves?

Skindinavia (this is all year round though)

Fenty Skin Hydra Vizor Huez Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum Mineral Spf 30 Sunscreen 5 

Supergoop! 100% Mineral (Re)setting Powder Face Sunscreen SPF 35 

A water bottle.  The Nars one is actually very good

PATTERN by Tracee Ellis Ross Mist Spray Bottle, I used to buy avenue, but this is just as effective to get that quick cool down

Too Faced Hangover 3-in-1 Replenishing Primer & Setting Spray 4 oz/ 120 mLthe best refresher for makeup IMO

7/19: Cook out/barbecue: what's on your menu? I'm coming and bringing TJ's Olive oil popcorn.  Menu's on you 🤣, I already planned a picnic

7/20: Summer hairstyle you want to try. I'm either going to get it rebraided with a different orientation of cornrows or Bantu Knots.

@danielledanielle - You had me LOL at "I am tan"!  That is something you will never hear me say! 😄

[peculiarzmakeup]

You had me smiling with “I am tan” that picnic sounds amazing and is making me super hungry! And there was a bee in my kitchen ironically when I was trying to take challenges photos I let it go out the door but I don’t like bugs either 💕 @danielledanielle 

[ChickenGurlie]

I love bees! Thanks for letting the little guy live 😁🍯🪻🌸

[danielledanielle]

Bees are usually excluded from my wrath because we need the pollinators, but there's been exceptions 🥲 @peculiarzmakeup 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Yes and the honey 🍯 ❤️ @danielledanielle 

[caitbird]

@danielledanielle  "I am tan" 🤣 I lol'd

I think you would look so cute with Bantu knots!

[danielledanielle]

@caitbird, thanks!

[CorgiMommy]

@danielledanielle looks like someone wants a beach vacation 

[CorgiMommy]

Sorry to hear that , hope you find time in the near future @danielledanielle 

[danielledanielle]

Badly.  I postponed one because of DanDan, but I literally and figuratively have no time now @CorgiMommy 

[CynthieLu]

7/13 If you could vacation anywhere, where would you go?✈️

I think Ireland and Scotland would be really beautiful places to visit. 

7/14 Favorite summer drink? 🍷 

Soft- Flavoured carbonated waters ( mango, apple, grapefruit)

Hard- Gin and Tonic with fresh lime. 🍋

7/15 Best Beach Reads? 📚 

My best beach read is whatever I'm currently reading, right now its Scarlett, a sequel to Gone With The Wind.

7/16 Least Favorite thing about summer? 🌞 

Heatwaves and any bugs that bites us. 🪲

[greeneyedgirl107]

@CynthieLu what do you think about Scarlett?  I was disappointed with it to say the least. 

[peculiarzmakeup]

I would go to Ireland too! @CynthieLu  it’s always been my dream to Go! Grapefruit anything is fantastic love that! Heat and bugs are no fun. 🫶

[CynthieLu]

Right? I think it must be totally beautiful there! @peculiarzmakeup I hope you get to visit one day. 🍀 

Grapefruit fruit is a fun citrus, its soo good in the carbonated water bevvies. 😉

[CorgiMommy]

@CynthieLu  hope you enjoy the book

[CynthieLu]

Thank you! @CorgiMommy If I finish it this summer I'll be very pleased. 📚😀 

[Titian06]

7/16: Least favorite thing about summer?  Humidity, bugs, and too short.

[danielledanielle]

CONCURRED @Titian06

I was assaulted by bugs last weekend and had to wear leggings today for work because I'm scratching/wrecking havoc on my legs

[CynthieLu]

So true @Titian06. Those are all rough parts of summer. I have so many bug bites right now. ☹️

[CorgiMommy]

@Titian06 never thought too short.  Summer here generally lingers a little longer where I live.
