4 Things To Do Before Summer's Over

It's the end of July and I couldn't even tell you where me entire summer's gone. Anyone you talk to is trying to jam pack all the summer-y things into the few short weeks we've got left, before we're forced to pull out the parkas and boots- which, to be fair,  does comes with some top notch outfits... very small trade off. I know.

1. Take a Picnic to the River Valley (or your backyard!)

This is one of those things you always say you're going to do, and have the most amazing intentions of organizing, but it never happens. Until now! Grab a blanket, pick up your favourite snacks, call up your friends and make it happen. A picnic doesn't have to be this daunting Pinterest curated event that most people imagine when you think of a picnic. Keep it simple, casual and fun so you can actually enjoy the day you're having and you won't have to fuss over the aesthetic of the picnic. 

Some of my favourite picnic snacks are candy, usually of the sour variety, some chips, cookies or crackers, fresh fruits usually in watermelon or berry form. Oh! And you've always got to have something to drink too. Arizona tea is the ultimate picnic drink- 99cents for the best summer drink out there!

Sometimes Simple Is The Way To Go

Third times the charm right?
I have tried to write this post three times.

Initially I wanted to show you how to make a macrame hanging succulent basket that looks really cool and trendy and a great summertime craft, but it was literally impossible for me to take good enough photos to show you exactly how to make it. So, here we are, with a similar idea but way less complicated to show on camera and it's essentially what I wanted to show you in the first place, just a lot simpler.
