It’s hot and I love it. I’m not complaining, especially after the winter we endured this past year.
We visited our oldest at sleepaway camp the other weekend, and my heart soared when my son felt my arms around him, took a deep breath to make sure it was me, and burst into tears. Even though he’s growing up fast and having a blast at summer camp, it’s nice to know his mom is still important (for a little while at least…until he’s a teenager!) And my daughter is dancing and singing her heart out in theatre camp while I work at DASHA® and squeeze in as much beach time as possible on the weekends in the Hamptons.
August is just around the corner, but before we get there, I want to make sure to share some of my favorite things!
BEAUTY. Admit it. We all want beach hair all year long – it takes far less work and looks fabulous and is pretty darn effortless. So while it’s appropriate to rock the beach waves, which is at least through Labor Day (in my humble opinion), check out Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray.
FASHION. The long dress with the sheer skirt is the hot ticket item this summer, and I love it, because it makes me look inches taller! It’s elegant and looks cool. A number of designers have options in every color and style of level of dressiness imaginable, so be sure to check them out and try one on. You’ll turn heads!
FOOD. Summertime is the perfect time to enjoy chilled soups – from cucumber to tomato-based or watermelon gazpachos. They are healthy, delicious, and not heavy in the heat! AM New York just ran a great story on all of the different eateries offering chilled soup options in NYC. Enjoy one out, or make one at home!
COMMUNITY & CULTURE. Governor’s Island is hosting their second Jazz Age Lawn Party of the summer the weekend of August 15th and 16th in NYC. Take the free ferry with the family, bring a picnic, dress up, go and dance your heart out!
DASHA. We just ran a blog post earlier this week about hot to “Stay Sexy in the Summer Heat.” One of our tips was to keep up with your pedicures! And if you are having feet woes, come to DASHA, so we can fix you up and you can enjoy walking all over our great city once again! Summer is too short to sit still!
