FASHION Fringe

Get playful this summer with fringe! This fun embellishment can be found on everything from dresses to accessories. Look around… you will see this on hemlines and necklines, as well as accents on handbags and shoes. Fringe elevates evening attire and is an easy way to dress up your casual everyday outfit.

This fabulous company is committed to creating the highest quality collection of high-performance certified organic beauty. I especially love the Contour Collections THREESTEP GLOW ROUTINE. It comes with a bronzer, blush and highlighter. These creamy sticks go on smooth and last all day.

Seafood Cocktails

Food

Is it a drink? Is it a meal? It is a little of both! This fun twist on a Bloody Mary is satisfying and delicious. It has all the ingredients of the original drink, plus shrimp, an oyster, and bacon. It is garnished with green olives and, of course, celery. This can be made with or without alcohol. What a great presentation for a Sunday brunch or summer party. Cheers!

Biophillia Exercises

Sounds intimidating, but really biophiilia exercises are just a fancy term for outdoor workouts. Officially, biophillia is defined as our innate instinct to connect with the natural world both physically and emotionally. These type of workouts have been gaining popularity despite (or perhaps because of) our ever-increasing dependence on the digital world. Research has shown that exposure to the outdoors can help boost mood, cognitive function, and even increase creativity. Summer is a great time to embrace this popular trend. So pick an activity… hiking, biking, rock-climbing, outdoor yoga, and water sports all fit the bill... then get out there and do it!
