“Do what you can, with what you have.” ~ Wendy Walker
Hi Reader,
Hello Weekend! Do you have anything fun planned? It’s officially the 1st day of Summer!
What does Summer mean to you? Maybe it’s BBQ’s every weekend, gathering with friends and family or going to state parks for a picnic. Maybe it’s vacationing somewhere you’ve never been before or just staying home and relaxing in your garden and doing chores.
Whatever is means, I hope you embrace this new season of life. I tend to relax more in the Summer. The longer days mean I’m outside until the mosquitoes start eating me up haha. It also rains a lot here during the Summer so I’ll spend time doing projects in the home that I don’t normally get to.
One other thing that comes with Summer is too much sun, am I right? We’ve all had those days that we’ve spent too much time at the beach or pool and we come home sunburned. Grab this After-Sun Herbal Salve and be prepared for those moments.
