Hello you guys, welcome back to another episode of the hawk Girl Energy Podcast.
0:17
I'm your host, Kailee, and this is your weekly reminder that it's
0:20
a new day, a new week, a new mindset, and another day
0:22
for you to become the Hawkgirl energy you want to attract happy may you,
0:27
guys, I am feeling so inspired lately. I'm feeling so good going into
0:32
a new month and entering May immediately gets me thinking of summer. And you
0:38
guys know how I feel about summer. I am literally so excited to feel
0:43
the warm weather on my skin and just have a tan and I don't know,
0:49
just like plant things that you usually do in the summer. It just
0:52
gets me so excited. And I decided to make a little series of a
0:59
hawk Girl Summer because I really want to get back into my ideal routine.
1:04
And I feel like every time I get into the winter season, I feel
1:08
super unmotivated, but you know, still try my best to stick to a
1:12
routine that I can work for myself and still focus on myself during that down
1:19
season. I feel like every time winter comes around, I'm always a little
1:22
bit more unmotivated and down because of the season. But when the sun is
1:26
shining. When it's summer, I always feel so somotivated just to get back
1:30
into routine and also just pump out more content. I don't know if that's
1:36
a weird thing to say, but for me, for my work, I
1:38
always feel like I'm so much better at posting consistently and posting more content in
1:42
the summer. I think it's just because I'm motivated to film my routine.
1:46
I'm motivated just to push out as much content as I can because the weather's
1:49
actually nice out so I can film better quality content and all that. So
1:53
yeah, I'm just so excited to enter a new season, a new month.
1:57
I'm just feeling so so happy. Before we get into this episode of
2:00
talking about our Hawkgirl summer prep, I wanted to quickly run through my last
2:06
week of events because I feel like I haven't done a weekly recap in a
2:09
long time, and I know some of you guys enjoy hearing a little life
2:13
update on my end. So as you guys know, I am assumed to
2:17
be bride. I'm not planning my wedding until the end of twenty twenty four,
2:23
but obviously a lot of stuff has to happen before then. So we
2:25
are finally looking for our engagement party venue. And I feel like some of
2:30
you guys may think, like a venue for your engagement party that sounds kind
2:35
of bougie, and it does. But the reason why we're looking for a
2:38
venue is because we are doing a destination wedding, so our wedding is going
2:44
to be more small and intimate. We're not inviting everybody to the destination just
2:47
because I also know that I'm not expecting all my guests to pay that much
2:52
to come to my wedding and all that. So I personally wanted to do
2:54
a bigger engagement party and then a smaller wedding and just invite like close family
2:59
and friends to the wedding and then like extended family and additional friends to our
3:04
engagement party. So we have decided to do a bigger engagement party. So
3:07
that's why we're getting a venue and all that and kind of making it a
3:09
big deal because I know some people just do it at, you know,
3:14
in a backyard or someone's house. We have decided, me and Zach that
3:17
we're going to do a bigger engagement party, so we're going to need a
3:21
venue for that. So we have been looking at venues in Ottawa because I
3:24
have to do it in Ottawa just because we're doing a destination wedding and I
3:29
just need to make it easy for my guests to get to the venue and
3:32
all that. So we looked at three this past weekend and there was one
3:36
that I did actually really like. It was a restaurant and they had an
3:39
indoor option and an outdoor option unless like a little courtyard patio, which I
3:45
really really liked. The only thing is is that it doesn't fully match the
3:50
vision I had. I really wanted it to be in a large outdoor space
3:53
in like a garden, just like forests kind of vibe, if that makes
3:58
sense. I recently filmed a vlog of that weekend on my TikTok if you
4:00
guys want to see that. But I also will be vlogging this week for
4:03
YouTube on the other venues we visit, because we still have three to four
4:08
more venues that we want to take a look at before and make our decision.
4:11
We have a hard deadline on this Sunday to make our decision as to
4:15
where we're going to do it, because we're already in May. We're planning
4:19
to have this engaging party in August, so I need to start sending out
4:23
invitations. I need to start getting all that information out to my family and
4:27
friends. So we need to figure out a location by this Sunday. So
4:31
anyways, that has been my week in last week is just really like figuring
4:36
out locations that we have to visit, emailing people, you know, getting
4:41
quotes all that. So a lot of my time has been put towards that.
4:45
And then once we've secured the venue, I guess it's time to do
4:48
the other searching, which is like a photographer, address, you know,
4:51
catering, decor, all that. So definitely going to be a busy summer
4:57
with all that. I'm also helping my best friend, not too much with
5:01
her wedding, but her bachette's coming up. I think I've mentioned it before
5:04
on the podcast. It's literally three weeks away, so I've been prepping all
5:08
her outfits and just the events that are going to be taking place that weekend.
5:12
And if you guys want me to let you guys know how the bacherette
5:15
went after the fact, I'm happy to share, like the themes we did
5:18
and you know, things I bought by the bacherette all that. If you're
5:23
in that era in your life where you're hosting Bachette parties like me and helping
5:28
it all out, I'm more than happy to share little itinerate that we did
5:31
for that weekend. But yeah, clearly entering, you know, my wedding
5:35
and bridal era right now. I'm feeling it right now, and it feels
5:39
so crazy to actually be in it and planning and all that. So yeah,
5:44
and so funny. My sister actually got me a wedding planner for my
5:46
birthday, which was so kind of her, and I've been really loving it
5:49
so far. I think it's going to be super helpful once we get closer
5:53
to the actual wedding venue searching all that. But yeah, I'm so excited,
5:58
and I know some of you guys actually message I posted a little hint
6:01
of our wedding destination. I still am not one hundred percent sure on the
6:04
exact destination, but we are planning to go visit it this summer to start
6:09
touring venues and all that, because we need to obviously again secure a date
6:13
as soon as possible to let our guests know well in advance. But I
6:16
will share out more details on that once we figure out the exact location.
6:19
We're still in the beginning stages of really like going on Pinterest and going on
6:24
Google just to look at different venues and different destinations. I have a lot
6:29
in mind, obviously, but I really need to keep in mind of like
6:32
where would my guests go. I don't want it to be a destination that's
6:35
too far, just because like long flight times and all that are not obviously
6:41
key for everybody. I know a lot of people, you know, don't
6:43
enjoy flying or you know, like grandparents and all that, Like we really
6:46
would like to have our grandmas and grandpa's there. So we're just trying to
6:51
keep in mind a destination that will work for everybody. But that's a little
6:57
update on my side. Just all wedding talk all nothing else is really going
7:00
on in my life, to be honest, Like I was so focused on
7:04
Coachella in LA and now like as soon as I finished that trip, I
7:08
was like, Okay, we need to talk wedding. I still have so
7:11
much to do in my house as well, Like there's still like little projects
7:14
I want to get done. I really want to eventually film a house tour,
7:16
but I don't want to film it until everything's done with that I'm happy
7:21
with. So there's still like little things that you guys will see in the
7:25
coming weeks of little projects that we'll be doing throughout the house, like my
7:28
office, our basement, our backyard all that. So we still have little
7:32
things to do there. But that's a little life update on my end.
7:36
So again, before we get into this episode, this kind of has a
7:40
relation to the Hawkgirl Summer prep but I wanted to share my healthy habits that
7:44
I'm getting back into for May because we used to do this all the time
7:46
where I would share my goals for each month, and I feel like I
7:50
really stopped doing that. I don't know why. I think I just haven't
7:55
really filmed an episode that was close to the beginning of the month, so
7:58
I kind of slacked on that. So my apologies on that. But since
8:01
it is May second, I'm going to share three things that I'm making a
8:05
huge priority this month. And I think it's just also going to better my
8:07
mental health, help me get back into a routine because I think I was
8:11
really lacking on my routine coming back from travels. It was really hard to
8:15
get back into it. But I'm feeling so much better going into these past
8:18
two weeks and feeling like I'm finally back to my old self. I'm feeling
8:22
like I'm getting my routine in and a lot, And one big, big
8:24
thing that I'm making a priority for May is waking up early again. I've
8:28
been waking up at like seven fifteen, seven thirty usually in the winters,
8:33
I always like sleep in a bit because obviously it's super dark at like six
8:37
am in the morning, and I don't enjoy waking up in the pitch block.
8:43
It's just a preference. And I know in the summer, typically when
8:45
I wake up at six am in the summer, the sun is out and
8:48
I feel like she motivated to get stuff done around the house, get work
8:52
done, whatever. So I am making it a priority for myself to start
8:56
waking up at six am again, or at least six fifteen. I've graduate
9:00
at least started to put my clock at six forty five. Right now,
9:03
I've done six forty five for the past three mornings, and it's been really
9:09
really good to wake up at that time. But I'm gradually going you know,
9:13
I'm gonna go to six thirty probably in the next few days, and
9:15
then I'll go down to six fifteen and then six and whatever. So I'm
9:18
trying my best to get back into that early morning schedule because I really enjoy
9:24
waking up early, getting my greens in, going for my daily walks,
9:26
especially in the summer. We have a little trail by my house and I
9:31
always love to walk by the pond and I just find it so therapeutic and
9:35
I find it so Yeah, it's just like one of my favorite things to
9:37
do in the summer. And I feel like, obviously going into the winter,
9:41
it's definitely hard to keep up longer walks since it is so cold.
9:43
So I know Freddie's going to appreciate these longer walks again. And I started
9:48
to get back into walks in the mornings last week and it felt really really
9:54
good too, go back to the pond, go back to my happy place
9:56
and just do that long walk. And yeah, it's just making me so
10:00
excited to continue that routine and get back into it for the summer. So
10:03
this one kind of goes into it. But one of my goals was my
10:07
daily walks. I feel like I really slacked on that in the winter.
10:11
Like I said, I just feel like as the season gets colder. I
10:13
almost make an excuse of, you know, not going for longer walks just
10:18
because it is cold, and honestly, I should really be getting a warmer
10:20
winter jacket and actually bundling up and just sucking it up for the walk,
10:24
but Kaylee didn't do that this winter. So Kaylee is making it a priority
10:28
to just make her daily walks a priority in the mornings in the summer.
10:33
And yeah, that's just like one of the big things that I'm really trying
10:37
to prioritize is daily walks and waking up early. The last thing that I'm
10:41
making a huge priority in May is just sticking to my routine because I feel
10:46
like these past few months, I've really just been like on and off.
10:50
I feel like there's some weeks where I'm like on it, I'm feeling great,
10:54
feeling good on my routine, and then there's weeks where I fall off
10:58
the track and I'm feeling, you know, unmotivated to get out of bed,
11:01
I'm feeling like I don't want to do a workout. My mental health
11:05
is just like not in a good space whenever I'm totally out of routine or
11:09
when I'm just overwhelmed with work and I can't keep up with you know,
11:13
content, or I can't keep up with whatever I have to get done for
11:16
work, ads, et cetera. So it's normal to feel that way,
11:20
and that's okay. It's good to know that, you know, not you
11:22
know, always having waves in your routine is normal. It's not going to
11:26
always be perfect, and I know that. But if I can do my
11:28
best to stick to my routine and just stick to that healthy schedule, like
11:33
healthy sleeping schedule, healthy you know, routine and all that, that is
11:37
my biggest priority this may is just to really stick to a good routine that
11:41
feels good for me. And yeah, just also when it comes to like
11:46
my work routine, like I have different routines for different things, like my
11:48
workout routine, my like actual job routine, my you know, I guess
11:54
you could say my mental health routine, like just doing things that makes me
11:56
feel good for my mental health, my skincare routine, like just those little
12:01
routines that I do every morning that make me feel so good are just little
12:05
steps that I find make my day so much better. And so if I
12:07
prioritize that this month, I think it will really give me a good start
12:11
to my summer and just really allow myself to make it feel more natural and
12:16
just continue on in the summer and enjoying my routine. All right, so
12:20
let's get into this episode, the Hawkgirl Summer Prep. You guys know we're
12:24
all about hawkgirl shit on this podcast because it is a Hawk Growl Energy podcast.
12:28
So we're getting into our Hawkgirl summer Prep. The first thing we're going
12:33
to be talking about is mental health tips, but we're also going to be
12:37
talking about self care. We're going to be talking about outfit inspo as well
12:41
as getting back into summer activities. There's definitely a lot more that we will
12:45
be talking about, but those are the four things that we're going to be
12:48
talking about in this episode specifically. And then make sure to keep us on
12:52
your notifications because we will be posting a part two next week as well.
12:56
So mental health tips. Always find going into summer, my mood is always
13:03
so good. As I already mentioned, like, I just feel the adrenaline
13:07
is so good. I feel excited, I feel motivated. I just feel
13:11
like everything is so much better because the sun is out. When the sun
13:16
is out, I feel good. And one thing that I know for a
13:18
fact that helps my mental health so so much is just enjoying the fresh air,
13:22
going on my daily walks, being outside, like finding ways to do
13:28
the things that I enjoy while I'm outside. So one thing that I always
13:31
try and do is I always trying and to have my morning coffee outside.
13:33
I am so excited just to wake up, do my whole morning routine,
13:37
do my skincare, get ready for my day, go downstairs, make a
13:41
coffee, and sit on my backyard porch and just enjoy the sunshine, just
13:46
journaling outside, taking that time to plan my day and my planner outside,
13:50
like just enjoying that fifteen minutes of sun before I start my work day.
13:54
I'm so excited for that. So if you're someone that's trying to find ways
13:58
as to how to get fresh air during the day, if you're someone that
14:01
works in an office, definitely recommend making a coffee and just sitting outside for
14:07
like ten minutes and just enjoying that fresh air, or getting a daily walk
14:11
in and turning on a podcast. You can also if you work from home,
14:15
you can work outside, you know, just get a patio chair and
14:18
just sit outside and work from outside. I will definitely be doing that this
14:22
year is just getting as much editing done and work done as I can while
14:26
I'm outside getting a tan at the same time as well. It's always a
14:30
competent boost when you have a tan, so I will be taking advantage of
14:33
my tan time as much as I can while the sun is out. I
14:37
feel so much better when I have a tan. My competence just always is
14:41
boosted when I have one. And I'm telling you right now that sunshine is
14:43
just the key for a mood booster. Like I'm not even kidding. I
14:48
just find walking outside and just trying to prioritize things outside like activities with your
14:54
friends or just anything in general, is just so important special in the summer.
15:00
I just find it's one of my favorite things to do obviously in the
15:05
summer, and I just definitely find it helps my mental health personally and may
15:09
not help yours, but for me, I know when I prioritize time and
15:13
I make you know, being outside a huge priority, and I know it's
15:18
because I'm getting fresh air and I'm taking care of my body and I'm allowing
15:20
it to you do things that I enjoy in the outdoor environment. Okay,
15:26
so now we're going to go into a bit of self care and I'm going
15:28
to talk about certain things that I do in the summer that allows me to
15:35
feel good. And we're going to be more specific here in terms of like
15:37
makeup, skincare, nails, all that. So one thing for skincare that
15:43
is literally essential going into the summer is SPF. SPF will be your best
15:50
friends, guys. Please do not forget that into your skincare routine. I
15:54
think it's so so important, Like I still wear SPF and I literally will
15:58
wear a hat like when I'm tanning, when I'm outside, like walking around,
16:02
like I don't always wear a hat, Like I'm not that psycho.
16:06
I guess you could say, like I don't. I like to have the
16:07
sun on my face for sure, but I don't like to have the sun
16:11
on my face for longer than like fifteen minutes, just because I don't want
16:15
like any skin damage or anything like that. And for me personally, my
16:18
face burns so easily, Like my cheeks get so burnt in my nose,
16:23
so I just get burnt really easily on my face. Everywhere else I do
16:27
not burn. I don't know why my face is so sensitive. So and
16:32
I put like fifty on my face, Like I put a really strong sp
16:34
off on my face. So it's not like I don't wear SPF. It's
16:37
just my skin is I don't know, it's very sensitive on my face for
16:40
some reason. So for me, I always like to wear a hat,
16:42
wear sunglasses, and just try to avoid a tan on my face as much
16:45
as possible. And I feel like I get a lot of questions about how
16:48
I keep my face tan compared to my body, because my body is extremely
16:52
tan compared to my face. And what I typically do is I actually use
16:56
a skin tint. I use these skin tint by Summer Fridays. It is
17:02
so good, you guys, It's so sheer. It literally feels like you're
17:04
wearing nothing on your face. And I actually mix that in with my sunscreen,
17:07
which is also by Summer Fridays. I think I've talked about it before.
17:11
It's like probably my Holy Girl product. I just put that on every
17:14
day, and I find it gives my skin the perfect match to my body
17:18
because I always find like my face is always paler than my body no matter
17:22
what. And I'm okay with that. I don't really like to use like
17:25
any self tanner. Or anything like that, just because I feel like my
17:27
skin gets bumps on it or just like reacts to the tanner. And I
17:33
think a lot of people could agree with that, even like if you have
17:37
acne prone skin, it's not really good to put self tanner on your face
17:41
or anything like that. So personally, for me, I like to just
17:42
put a skin tint on. I rarely wear a foundation in the summer unless
17:48
I'm like going out for dinner. My everyday makeup is like what I just
17:52
said, which is SPF skin tint. I will put a bit of concealer
17:56
under my eyes, sometimes add a bit of blush. I love blush so
18:00
much. I also love bronzer, so I always put a little bronzer on
18:03
just to give again a bit more of a sun kissed, sunburnt look.
18:07
And honestly, that's it. And oh, you guys know what else.
18:11
I always put my summer Fridays vanilla beige lip bomb. That is a must.
18:15
But that is like my goat to like everyday natural makeup look in the
18:21
summer specifically as well. But I just find it's like, yeah, it's
18:25
perfect, you don't need to wear all that makeup every day. In my
18:27
opinion, everybody is beautiful. I also just find natural makeup in the summer
18:32
just hits different, probably because of your tan and all that. I don't
18:34
know, So that's like my goat to like self care skincare routine during the
18:41
summertime. Another thing I'd like to point out when it comes to skincare in
18:44
the summertime is I always like to use like lighter moisturizers. I don't like
18:48
to use my thick one in the winter that I use just because my skin
18:51
isn't as dry going into the summer season. One that I can highly recommend
18:56
is the Drunk Elephant one. They have a sheer one. The whipped cream
19:02
is like the thicker one, but there's just like their regular moisturizer, I
19:04
believe, and it's more of a sheer one and it's so so good.
19:07
I really like using that as like my moisturizer for the summertime. Okay,
19:11
when it comes to nails, because you guys know, I get my nails
19:15
done every month. It's a priority, which literally reminds me that I need
19:18
to book a nail appointment for this week because my nails are so grown out.
19:22
But I love to keep my nails basic like always, always, always.
19:26
Sometimes I like to do a fun color in the summer because obviously bright
19:30
colors in the summer like blue, lilac, baby pinks, all that,
19:34
so I'm sure I will have some fun colors for the summer as well.
19:38
I don't have exact names of the colors that I use, but I will
19:41
give exact names for ones that I use all the time, like Bubble Bath
19:47
and just the Funny Money, which is like a light white. Those are
19:52
both by OPI, and I really really like those. For like a neutral
19:55
nail color, that's what I typically ask for. I also ask for almond
19:59
sh ape, and I like to keep them a bit long. I can't
20:03
really say like the exact length that I do, but I typically ask for
20:07
narrow almond shape with a neutral nail color like bubble Bath or Funny Bunny.
20:12
I also have been loving French nails too. I used to do that all
20:15
the time in high school, and I felt like I started to get back
20:19
into French nails last year, and I did French like recently back in February,
20:23
and I was obsessed with them. So I don't know what I'm going
20:26
to do this week going into May maybe I'll do French, maybe you'll do
20:30
like a baby blue something fun. But typically I personally like to keep my
20:33
nails simple. I just love a good basic, neutral nail. I just
20:37
find it always looks so so clean, so so fresh, and I always
20:42
just feel so so good with a nice, clean, simple set. Okay,
20:47
So next is summer outfit and SPA always fine going into new season.
20:51
I'm always feeling motivated to update my wardrobe, add new things all that.
20:55
Like, I am in desperate need for some summer pieces. I feel like
21:00
I was, you know, trying to put an out put together for wedding
21:03
venue touring last week because it was so so nice, it was so beautiful
21:07
out and I'm like, I literally don't know what to wear, and that
21:10
sounds embarrassing. I know, you guys aren't really like Killy. You probably
21:12
have so many clothes. Yes, I do have so many clothes, but
21:15
you girls get me. When you go in your closet and you're looking for
21:18
somebody to wear, You're like, I have nothing, Like I don't know
21:21
what I'm gonna wear. Like I feel like girls are always like that,
21:22
where they just obviously have a lot of clothes, but they always feel like
21:26
they have nothing to wear. I don't know, it's just the mentality that
21:29
I have, maybe specifically, I hope you guys feel the same way.
21:32
But anyways, I was looking at a Ritzia actually for some summer outfit inspo,
21:37
just some cute tops, you know, some new pants, skirts,
21:41
all that, and they have some really good stuff out right now. So
21:44
if you guys don't know Ritzia, it is by far my favorite fashion brand.
21:48
They just have the best basics, the pricing is so affordable in my
21:52
opinion, it's really not that expensive, and the quality is so so good,
21:56
you guys. I'm also gonna recommend Zara because I feel like Zara is
22:00
a hidden miss with their quality, but they do have a really good trending
22:03
and fashionable pieces that I do do love. I've been shopping at Zara for
22:08
so so long, but if I was to compare Zara and Aritzia, I
22:11
would say Aritzia is probably my go to just because the quality is so much
22:15
better. In my opinion, you do pay a bit more than Zara pieces
22:19
I find, but there is some really good affordable options as well at Ritzia
22:22
that are totally worth the hype. In my opinion. Other places that I
22:26
typically buy from is Revolve. Revolve does have some good stuff. Again,
22:30
it can be pretty pricey, but I try my best to try and find
22:33
things that are like at decent price points that I personally find are worth the
22:38
hype or worth the investment or anything like that. Yeah, I know some
22:44
of you guys find Revolved quite expensive, and I totally understand, like it's
22:47
not. There's not everything that's cheap on there, but I do love to
22:51
get a lot of good basics from there that I feel like you're going to
22:52
last a long time, like a good pair of staple jeans, you know,
22:56
some good basic teas or crop tops or like that, or jackets.
23:00
I just find there's a lot of good things there that you can find that
23:03
are honestly worth the investment. They also have just really really cute, like
23:07
outfits for vacation. So if you guys have any vacations coming up, Revolve
23:11
is a really good spot to look at for like really nice dresses, summer
23:17
dresses, all that for going out for dinner or anything like that. Like
23:19
I wish I had like a European trip planned for this summer because I feel
23:23
like Revolve has so many good like summer dresses or anything like that. So
23:27
if you guys are going to Europe, I highly recommend looking at Revolve.
23:30
They have some really really cute stuff, Like I'm looking at Revolve for my
23:33
engagement party dress to be honest, because I finally have really good stuff when
23:37
it comes to special events like that. So if you guys have anything coming
23:41
up this summer, like weddings or anything like that that you're you know,
23:44
being a guest for or something, Revolve is a really good spot to find
23:48
stuff like that. And then the last place that I actually really like shopping
23:51
at is a website called sense I think that's how you pronounce it. It's
23:53
based in Montreal, but again it's very similar to Revolve. I find it's
23:57
just a lot of like well known fashion brands. Alo Yoga's on there,
24:03
Annie Bing's on there, the Frankie Shop, just like higher end designers.
24:08
But I sometimes I like to invest in good quality fashion pieces, as I
24:12
said, just because I personally find some of them are worth the investment.
24:15
But that's just my personal opinion. But if I had to pick like the
24:18
best affordable spots for your go to summer wardrobe, I would say Zara and
24:23
Aritzia are by far my favorite places when it comes to bathing suits. I
24:29
feel like bathing suits are always something that's hard to shop for, especially in
24:33
the summertime, because there are so many bikini brands, and there's a lot
24:37
of bikini brands that are like stupidly expensive when it's like, why would I
24:42
pay that much for a bikini shop in a bikini bottom. So some of
24:47
these places I will recommend are stupidly expensive, but they are good quality and
24:52
worth the hype in my opinion, and some I find are in my opinion,
24:57
more affordable. So one is four three seven. I personally think four
25:00
three seven is a pretty affordable brand for the top and bottom quality is so
25:06
so good, like so so worth it in my opinion. They have such
25:10
cute workout sets as well cute beach where all that. So four three seven
25:15
is the brand. Another brand that I recently discovered when I went on my
25:18
trip to Mexico, I was actually wearing the bikinis the whole entire time I
25:22
was there. It's called Nude Swim. It is so good, you guys.
25:26
They have matching headbands with their bikinis, which brilliant like I thought that
25:30
was the cutest little fashioned idea ever. And they have cute little sarongs and
25:34
all that, and they just came out with a bunch of new styles and
25:37
again very similar pricing to four three seven, not too crazy, but they
25:41
have really really good basics and the way they fit on your body, at
25:45
least on my body. I literally was so obsessed with them, like I'm
25:49
definitely going to be buying more this summer. Just overall the quality is really
25:53
really good. I find it very very flattering and again in my opinion,
25:57
worth the investment all right. Now, getting back into summer activities, I
26:03
love to find ways again to be outdoors and still be active and still doing
26:07
fun things, especially if there's like things that you want to do on your
26:11
bucket list or like things that you want to do that you might be on
26:15
a budget for. So obviously, like going into summer, you want to
26:18
keep your weekends busy. You want to keep your weeks busy just doing things,
26:22
being outside as much as you can all that. So one thing that
26:25
I like to do that Zach and I are actually going to get into on
26:26
the weekends is rollerblading. I love rollerblading so much I obviously skate. I
26:33
play ring at if you guys didn't know that, So I love to skate.
26:37
So rollerblading is a fun little activity to do. And we have an
26:40
ice cream shop that's kind of close to our house, so I think it'll
26:41
be really fun to go rollerblading. Go'll get some ice cream and just make
26:45
it like a Sunday night thing where we do that together. So I think
26:49
that will be really fun. Another thing I like to do is I like
26:52
to go biking. This is something that I used to do with my parents
26:56
and my sister when we're in the COVID lockdown situation. Every Sunday we would
27:00
go biking around our neighborhood and just like look at nice houses. I don't
27:04
know, I find that it's always fun when you go in like a nice
27:07
neighborhood and ride your bike and just like admire the pretty houses. But I
27:11
love biking so much. It's a great workout and it's just a fun activity
27:15
to do in the summer. One thing that I'm super excited about that I
27:18
always love to do with my sister during the week is going on a picnic
27:22
on the beach, watching the sunset, ordering a pizza, or getting your
27:26
favorite sandwiches, maybe bringing a few you know, drinks, wine, whatever,
27:33
and just watching the sunset is my favorite thing in the entire world.
27:37
Like, we do not have nice beaches here, I will be honest.
27:40
We have some nice parks, but I just love I just love watching the
27:44
sunset, Like no matter where I am, Like it could be the crappiest
27:47
location and I would still enjoy just sitting down with a glass of wine or
27:51
with you know, some ice cream or whatever and just watching the sunset.
27:53
It's something that just makes me feel so so good. So I'm definitely looking
28:00
forward to sunset nights with my sister. I think it's gonna be so fun.
28:03
Or with your best friend or with your partner, whoever it is,
28:07
it's definitely gonna be a good time. This also gets me really excited is
28:11
patios, Like going out for dinner with your partner or your best friend again
28:15
and hitting up a patio, or even after work, just hitting up a
28:18
patio with your best friend getting drinks, Like, oh my god, that
28:22
just makes me so excited. I love being on a patio. There's just
28:26
some type of good feeling that you have on a patio that just makes me
28:30
so happy. Another thing that makes me think of summer is summer nights,
28:33
and I think about having a fire, making smores, roasting marshmallows, Like
28:38
my parents have a fire pit in their backyard and I just love having a
28:42
fire. Like the perfect night to me would be watching the sunset, eating
28:48
my pizza, drinking some wine, and then heading back home, having a
28:52
fire and making smores and just like chilling in the backyard like that to me,
28:57
Oh and maybe picking up ice cream too. I don't know. The
29:00
perfect night for me is something around those nights where you have to have a
29:03
sunset involved, you have to have a fire involved, you have to have
29:07
smores involved, and oh my god. And then also barbecue season, like
29:11
eating like a nice you know, hot dog or hamburger or steak or chicken
29:15
kebab or anything like that. Like even like thinking about barbecued recipes, Like,
29:21
guys, you know, I'll be filming some barbecue recipes on my TikTok
29:25
and Instagram, Like I'm so excited for barbecue season. That is going to
29:29
be some good food like corn on the cob Let's talk about corn on the
29:32
cob Let's talk about those foods that you eat in the summer watermelon, Like,
29:37
oh my god, I can't, I can't. I'm getting too excited.
29:38
The next episode is going to be more specific to healthy recipes, so
29:42
again, stay tuned for part two, but we're going to get into healthy
29:45
recipes that I personally love to have in the summertime specifically. But that's a
29:49
bit of a sneak peek of some stuff we're gonna be talking about. But
29:53
barbecue season gets me so excited. And then the last few activities are like
29:59
driving movies that's always a fun thing to do at night, I find instead
30:03
of just a typical movie theater. Visiting cottages on the weekend, like I'm
30:07
very excited for that. Zach's family has a cottage, and then my best
30:10
friend also has a cottage that she just recently bought. So a lot of
30:14
cottage weekends will be in my near future, probably starting in June when may's
30:18
a bit hectic for me, so I feel like June will be a little
30:21
less busy and there'll be a lot of cottage weekends lined up. And then
30:23
honestly, just a beach day, like taking a day off on the Saturday
30:27
and just going with your best friend to the beach and just enjoying your time
30:32
by the water with your best friend like that just sounds like the perfect day
30:37
in my opinion. So that's just some things that I recommend to prep for
30:41
your Hawk Girl summer. These were more so not about health and wellness,
30:45
but just about things to keep in mind going into summer, like finding,
30:49
you know, some outfit inspo for your summer days and summer nights, keeping
30:56
up with some good self care habits, focusing on your mental health, as
31:00
well as just some summer activities to get back into and get you excited for
31:03
summer. But next week's episode is really going to be more focused on healthy
31:08
recipes, summer workouts, how to keep yourself motivated during the summer's season,
31:14
and just again more healthy recipes and my personal plans for the summer as well.
