4, 3, 2, 1....I break out into choreography on the street ALL the time.....
The temperature is getting warmer, the layers are coming off and the workout regimens have ramped up. Summer is on it's way! With these couple of 90 degree days we've had, Summer is making a premature debut and I'm here for it. I may be the only one (which I doubt) but the summer for me, is when the music video which is your life goes into a dance break. Everything is bright and everyone comes to the foreground and breaks it down in an insane choreo routine and everyone is getting their GOTDAMN life. Well, that's what MY summers feel like....
I don't know if its the extra vitamin D (from all sources, meow!) the longer days and steamy nights, but everything just seems manageable in the summer, well maybe except my hair but whatever, that can be easily remedied with some ECO styling gel (my new crack). As of now, every month for the next three, there's a trip planned and those are just the ones with flights. I'm going to make it my business to work on my tan and be as brown as i can be!
All Summer '17!
I have a friend who becomes bolder and more assertive when she gets a tan. " Uh- Oh, watch out, when Mary gets a tan, she doesn't know how to act." It's something about the endless possibilities Summer brings. Remember when we were kids and we were HYPED to get out of school for the summer? Tap into that. I want you to go out and get a tan, drink all the fruity drinks and eat all the tacos. Simply enjoy yourself. You have a beach body already, just take your body to the beach. OK, OK I hear you: "Well, I still have to work in the summer. My days are shot!". A) No they're not and B) the sun sets at damn near 9pm. I used to have a friend (who passed away, sadly) who would go to work and then go to the beach, everyday. He loved the ocean and would take advantage of how empty the beaches would be during the weekdays. So it's very doable to still enjoy yourself after work. Look at this like this: We have to work but we're also adults so we get to drink! (responsibly please). We get to drink drinks and stay out late and have all the snacks. Yes, we gotta pay these bills, but just pay them so we can hit up the next boozy brunch.
No others allowed.
It will be entirely too hot to deal with drama and antics that are anything more than giggles and short shorts. I want you to take advantage of the extra sunlight and do things you really want to do. Visit a new place; it doesn't need to require air travel but get out of your routine. Find a couple of rooftops and watch a sunset, jump into a pool. Try boozy ice cream and laugh. I'm determined to make this summer one of the best yet. I think that's a good goal to have.
Especially in a time when there's a lot of malice in the world on any given day. If you are lucky enough not to be touched by it, be the happiest you can be.
I look at my calendar now and it's full of activity, I'm already tired. From festivals, to concerts, to flights to road trips to dance life. However, I'll be running the NYC streets as well so If you see me in these streets, come up to me and tell me how you're getting your life. Tell me below too, what are your summer plans? You going somewhere? If not, what staycation you got planned? Who's heart you gonna break? You gonna twerk in a handstand? I know I am! Let's get it!! LEGGO!!
Stay summertime fly Squares!
