Hi guys! It’s been a bit and summer has been flying by! I feel like once we get past the 4th of July, summer seems to go into overdrive and it’s over before we know it. My birthday is only a couple of weeks away as well, and that truly seems like the end of summer each year when in reality we still have a few months left of good weather so take advantage while you can!
This weekend, my husband Adam and I are heading to a music festival with numerous artists, but we’re especially excited to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers. We can’t wait—it’s going to be such a great time! As I mentioned, my birthday is coming up, and it’s a big one: the big 3-0! I’m looking forward to seeing an older band perform, hoping the crowd won’t be filled with rowdy teens and 20-somethings. Regardless, I know it’s going to be a fun weekend just spending time with Adam and not having to chase a toddler around for a day.
Today, I wanted to take a moment to share five things I’ve been loving this summer. These are mostly lifestyle items, but of course, I couldn’t resist including one food item because it’s just too delicious not to mention! Whether you’re looking for some new inspirations or just curious about what’s been bringing me joy lately, I think you’ll find something interesting in this list. So, let’s dive into the five things that have been making my summer extra special!
Cottage Cheese and Tomato Toast
Let’s just start with the food right off the bat! I have absolutely been loving this cottage cheese and tomato toast. I got the idea for Ambitious Kitchen on Instagram and have been craving it every day since I first tried it. It’s such a refreshing snack during the hot summer months.
To make it all you need is your favorite bread (I love sourdough) and either toast it or don’t, up to you! Top it first with about ¼ cup cottage cheese, tomato slices, Italian seasoning, basil leaves, and a drizzle of olive oil.
I cannot I have been sleeping on these for so long! My sister had been taking a break from getting her nails done and raved about these! I decided to finally take a break from the nail salon and give them a try and holy moly, I cannot believe I waited so long. I have had mine on for over 2 weeks now and they still look great. And for 10 bucks, you can’t beat it!
This is another item I cannot believe I didn’t get sooner, especially with a toddler who wants to be outside constantly. First off, the smell of this is amazing with a slight banana scent, and goes on very easily. I love that the package is small too so I can throw it in whatever bag I have with me. Always remember your SPF!!
I have been prone to sensitive gums and predisposed to develop gingivitis my whole life. I recently had my dental cleaning and again, my gums were the issue. I brush and floss every day but clearly I needed to do more so I decided to finally get a water flosser to help keep my guns even more clean. This thing is powerful and definitely left my mouth feeling extra clean! It takes some practice to not spray the water everywhere but other than that, I am loving it so far!
As I mentioned above, my husband and I are going to a concert this weekend and so there are bag rules and my normal bag is so close to being too large that I don’t want to risk it so I decided to get a clear bag so that I don’t need to worry about the size and being turned down at the doors. We also go to a lot of sporting events that have certain bag rules so it will be nice to have this purse to be able to use again and again!
I hope you guys all have an amazing weekend and soak up the beautiful summer weather!
