There’s nothing like summer in New York. It’s fleeting (though you still might catch us natives griping about the 90 degree temps), but it somehow makes curling up through the frigid winter all worth it. For this reason, I try to take advantage of the beautiful weather as much as possible.

Though I’m not an overly outdoorsy girl by any means, I do enjoy a nice Sunday hike, lounging by the pool, boating, etc. during the warmer months. I’m also looking forward to picnic season this summer, too. Richard and I spend a lot of time at our local parks when the weather is nice, and it’s always fun to bring a snack and relax for a bit. 

Oh, and my favorite part?

It’s free, aside from the food and drinks you pack. 

Ahh, self care. The oh-so-trendy topic that’s simply everywhere on the web right now. It sounds very Gwenyth Paltrow if you ask me, but I love that #treatingyoself is actually becoming a legitimate practice. 

I mean, if you’re not taking care of yourself, what ARE you doing?

Am I right?

I do think that there’s this huge misconception though that self care needs to be some elaborate, expensive, time consuming, etc. process. In reality, self care is a gold mine for us boss ladies.

First off, thanks to all of ya’ll who stopped by last week to check out the first ever “Weekend Edit”. I really enjoyed getting a bit more personal with you guys, and I got a generous amount of positive feedback to boot!

But let’s talk about this weekend, shall we? 

I mean, it was kind of a big deal since R. turned 21…on Sunday.

So it obviously wasn’t the wildest time haha, but we had a lot of fun going midnight bowling and eating too much cookie cake on Saturday night. For those of ya who don’t know, Richard’s interning in Pittsburgh this semester, so I really didn’t care what we did this weekend as long as we could spend it together.
