Hello summer friday!
EATING
My summer stone fruit couscous salad. Also my summer carnitas tacos! And this buffalo chicken chopped salad.
DRINKING
These fresh peach gin and tonics! And a frozen watermelon agua fresca.
MAKING
My smoky summer chicken salad for lunches. It’s the best ever.
BAKING
My banana cake with chocolate peanut butter frosting! And my favorite zucchini bread. ‘Tis the season!
CRAVING
My no churn coffee oreo ice cream. Always!
SNACKING
On my peach cobbler granola. And salted mojito watermelon wedges!
GRILLING
My portobello burgers with house sauce. And my grilled salmon club sandwich. Yum.
LISTENING
To Ina’s mini cooper ride! I was so excited when I saw her post this on instagram yesterday.
READING
Don’t Let Him In. Here’s my big summer reading list!
WEARING
This spanx midi dress that I adore. It is so so so comfortable – fitted on top but not super tight and so flowy on the bottom. Now I want this cinched dress for running around and easy casual travel.
SHOPPING
This week is so overwhelming with all the crazy sales. I only love the nordstrom anniversary sale and a few things from prime day! You can find my nordstrom sale recs here and all of my amazon favorites are in my storefront. I also have my back to school lists ready!
LOVING
If you like elemis skincare, this travel pouch is perfect for travel. I use the cleansing oil and balm, the resurfacing pad and I also like the SPF cream. It’s one of the best travel sets I’ve found.
BUYING
Before I turned 40 I decided I wanted to stop buying junky jewelry, but there are a few places I am not comfortable with wearing my good/real stuff. I actually love the Pavoi brand for stuff that I want to wear on the beach – like pretty dainty jewelry that I’m not worried about losing, breaking or drenching in sunscreen. And speaking of beachy/waterproof jewelry, I’ve had my buddha girl bangles for 15 years (or more?!) and I love them!
SHARING
These summer dinners that I make on repeat. So many are incredible.
PLANNING
I switched to using an academic year planner when my kids started going to school. I still love the passion planner and I’ve actually even gone back to the daily duo the past two years. I recently saw this dailee planner on tiktok and I am so tempted to try! It’s geared towards type A planners… that’s me. Ha.
TRAVELING
So excited to head to Nantucket next week! I have a book event and signing with Elin Hilderbrand and it’s going to be so fun! We haven’t been to Nantucket since 2019 and I’ve been dying to get back.
