10 Things You Need To Do This Summer.

Summer is here! The weather is warm, the pools are open, and the days are longer. This means you can have more day light to make a ton of activities. Everyone needs a list of things to do every summer. But this summer you should really try to spice things up a little bit. So why don't you try some of these awesome things before the summer ends.

1. Unplug yourself and connect with your family and friends.

Go at least one day without technology. Trust me it is going to feel awesome.

2. Go find the nearest body of water.

Water is a source of life.

3. Go for a picnic.

It might sound old fashioned, but the contact with nature will help you connect with your inner-self. Put your favorite snacks and a good wine in a basket, go find a grassy space somewhere, sit down, and have a meal enjoying your surroundings.

4. Try something you have never tried before.

It could be eating crickets out of a candy store or simply that new gym routine.

5. Have a BBQ.

The smell of ribs just melt my mouth. It is the perfect time of the year to have a BBQ and catch up with family and friends.

6. Volunteer.

During the summer we are usually less busy. It is good to give back to society. You never know when you are changing someone else's life.

7. Have a garage sale.

It is time to clean some stuff, but what a better way than a garage sale? You could even get a little bit of money out of those books that have been stored under your bed forever.

8. Attend a bonfire.

Make some s'mores and play some acoustic guitar. It is an underrated activity, but I promise you will have fun.

9. Take a nap in a hammock.

It is not a typical place to take a nap and the swing will put you down to sleep.

10. Do a touristy thing in your city you have never done before.

Do you remember that museum you have always wanted to visit? Well this is the perfect time to do it.


Hope you at least try one of these activities!

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
