Summer is definitely in full swing here in Missouri. And by that I mean it’s blazing hot and my glasses fog up when I go outside. But! it also means time out on patios with friends, outdoor concerts and frosty beverages, so it’s all worth it. When I’m not obsessively applying my sunscreen, there are some things I’m into right now.
-My fingers and toes are this fun bright orange color right now. It’s helping me embrace summer.
-I got ambitious last week and made a Raspberry Ricotta Cake for a happy hour last week. Not only was it delicious but the leftovers made a great breakfast too (don’t judge).
-It is taking me everything I have to not buy one of these Modcloth Halloween sweaters. Yes, I am entertaining reasons as to why I should.
–One thing I bought absolutely shamelessly. I can’t wait to start assembling it this weekend!
-A great article from Roxane Gay (of course) about a topic I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this year. And I’ve set it before, but are you part of her online book club yet?
-I have been an admirer of Ady Barkan for years and loved his 2019 memoir. Now a new documentary about his activism and life comes out in August and the trailer was released today.
-The Brooks Falls Bears in Alaska’s Katami National Part are back, baby!
Go get your summer like those bears get that salmon!
