I really, really love
two months in a year. December, since it means spending time with family,
joyful experiences and good food, and May, because it brings the beginning of
the summer. This year, I had to wait a bit longer for that, but now summer is
really here and I couldn’t be happier.
Here are ten things
that make me happy in the summer, in no particular order.
~ Long days. I am
miserable during the months when I get to the office in half-darkness and leave
when it’s pitch dark. I feel like a vampire and it drains all my energy. I love
it when the days get longer and I can enjoy the sun for hours and hours after I
get home from work.
~ The taste of great
ice cream. I am super picky when it comes to ice cream and I often ask for a
tiny sample before ordering my two scoops. I would say that about 8 times out
of 10, it doesn’t cut it. I am quite partial to Zvezda and Lolita ice creams in
Ljubljana but won’t say no to Carte D’Or, Haagen Dazs and Ben&Jerry.
~ My birthday. I am a
summer baby and I always get the day off since I celebrate on the day that
Slovenia won its independence. Special bonus: I can celebrate the day before with my friends and nobody has to go to work with a hangover :)
~ Wide selection of
fruit for pennies. Tangerines, watermelon, strawberries and cherries. I can
live off fruit for most days in the summer. I had to make some cutbacks this year
because I have to think about baby M as well, but I still manage to get my fair
share of the tasty fresh goodness.
~ Beach hair. Gone are
the days of hair straightners and blowouts. Nine times out of ten, I will let
my hair air dry which produces various kinds of curls. I just put in a bit of
mousse to give them some texture and I’m good to go.
~ Good vibes. Have you
notices how everybody gets a little less cranky and a bit more adventurous in
the summer? It takes one to know one, so I see it all around me.
~ Summer baby clothes.
This is a new obsession, obviously, but I don’t think the little tops and cute
shorts could get any cuter. Baby M has a wardrobe that is fit for Nice or
Cannes. And I just Can’t. Stop. Spending.
Thank goodness he’s growing so fast ;)
~ A quick shower after
getting out of the sea. I love swimming but hate the feeling of being salty
afterwards. The combination of a good water workout and a brisk shower leaves
me feeling awesome.
~ Natural make-up and
playing with the colors. Everything goes in the summer, right? With a bit of
strobing I can go for a natural, healthy looking skin or I can pull out a
colorful palette and play around with it.
~ Creating memories.
As far back as I can remember, most of the best moments of my life have been
tied to summer. So I am writing this from the seaside, enjoying special moments
that will become tomorrow’s precious memories.
I would love it if you
share what’s special for you in the summer time. <3
Until next time, stay
beautiful.
