Speaker 1: Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the
0:16
Speaker 1: Hawkgirl Energy Podcast. I'm your host, Kayleie, and this is
0:19
Speaker 1: your weekly reminder that it's a new day, a new week,
0:22
Speaker 1: a new mindset, and another day for you to become
0:24
Speaker 1: the hawt Girl energy you want to attract. Hello you guys,
0:27
Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday, Welcome back to another episode. How is everybody doing?
0:31
Speaker 1: Because summer has officially peaked here and I've been super happy.
0:36
Speaker 1: I've really just been enjoying some slow time and I'm
0:39
Speaker 1: really honestly trying to work a bit less as well.
0:42
Speaker 1: I'm not even like really posting as much every single
0:45
Speaker 1: day when it comes to like Instagram stories, tiktoks, instagrams
0:49
Speaker 1: all that. I'm more so just kind of taking a
0:51
Speaker 1: step back from work. With my job, you do kind
0:54
Speaker 1: of have to be like on camera twenty four to
0:57
Speaker 1: seven on the weekends, you know, when you're traveling, like
1:01
Speaker 1: there's not really ever a break, and so I'm kind
1:04
Speaker 1: of taking this as my opportunity to obviously like take
1:06
Speaker 1: a step back from things a little bit like the
1:08
Speaker 1: podcast and work, and like obviously, like I don't love
1:12
Speaker 1: doing that, but I will say, like even with just
1:14
Speaker 1: like not posting on the podcast last week, and honestly,
1:17
Speaker 1: like I posted very few videos on TikTok, like, it
1:19
Speaker 1: was kind of like a nice break for me personally
1:22
Speaker 1: to really just like step back and just like not
1:26
Speaker 1: feeling this urge to like have to whip the iPhone
1:29
Speaker 1: film twenty four to seven. Like. Anyways, it's just I
1:31
Speaker 1: think it's okay to take a step back from something
1:33
Speaker 1: if you are currently really busy in your life and
1:36
Speaker 1: you feel like you need a break. I am telling
1:38
Speaker 1: you that it does really make a difference if you
1:40
Speaker 1: take a step back from something that makes you feel
1:43
Speaker 1: maybe really high stressed, or something that you just feel
1:46
Speaker 1: like you need to take a step back from for
1:47
Speaker 1: a period of time and then get back into it
1:49
Speaker 1: when you're feeling yourself again, if that makes sense. So
1:53
Speaker 1: if you're currently going through a period of time in
1:54
Speaker 1: your life where you're feeling really overwhelmed or really busy,
1:57
Speaker 1: this is your sign to take the step back and
2:00
Speaker 1: just listen to your body. Because even me just taking
2:03
Speaker 1: a step back, I feel like I've definitely felt more
2:05
Speaker 1: like myself again and honestly going into it and feeling
2:08
Speaker 1: more inspired to try new things and just kind of
2:10
Speaker 1: I don't know, just kind of get back into the
2:12
Speaker 1: swing of things. I think taking a break is sometimes needed,
2:15
Speaker 1: and I never really have ever really taken a break,
2:18
Speaker 1: I would say, from work. So I'm really happy that
2:21
Speaker 1: I pushed myself to take this break and just like
2:25
Speaker 1: really be present with summer and enjoy the summer. So anyways,
2:29
Speaker 1: I just want to say that for anyone that might
2:31
Speaker 1: be going through a hard time or like a very
2:33
Speaker 1: stressful period of time in their life, it is okay
2:35
Speaker 1: to take the break and it is okay to step back,
2:38
Speaker 1: because I do really find it helps you find yourself again.
2:41
Speaker 1: We need to talk about Off Campus for a second
2:43
Speaker 1: before we even get into this episode because Off Campus
2:47
Speaker 1: has been on my mind twenty four seven. If you
2:50
Speaker 1: don't know what Off Campus is, it's actually a new
2:52
Speaker 1: TV show that just got released this May on Amazon Prime,
2:57
Speaker 1: and it's actually based off a book and I think
2:59
Speaker 1: it's actually a Canadian author, which I love, and the
3:02
Speaker 1: show was actually filmed in Vancouver, so it was filmed
3:05
Speaker 1: in Canada. I think one or two of the actors
3:08
Speaker 1: on the show is actually Canadian. Dean from the show
3:11
Speaker 1: is actually Canadian, which I just found that out recently,
3:13
Speaker 1: which I love love to say Canadian on the show.
3:16
Speaker 1: But anyways, it is such a good show. Everybody's talking
3:21
Speaker 1: about it on TikTok, everybody's talking about on social media
3:23
Speaker 1: how good of a show it is. And I'm going
3:26
Speaker 1: to tell you guys right now, I'm hooked. I'm obsessed,
3:28
Speaker 1: Zach and I binge the entire thing in a weekend.
3:30
Speaker 1: I actually started to rewatch it just because I don't know.
3:34
Speaker 1: I wanted to rewatch it again because it was that good,
3:36
Speaker 1: and I feel like I haven't had a show like
3:38
Speaker 1: that since, like the Summer I Turned Pretty. I feel
3:40
Speaker 1: like I was really really into the Summer I Turn Pretty.
3:42
Speaker 1: But this show, I don't know. I think because the
3:46
Speaker 1: characters are older, like I feel like in the Summer
3:48
Speaker 1: I Turn Pretty, it was like young high school kind
3:52
Speaker 1: of college. I guess by the third season, but I
3:55
Speaker 1: don't know. I think just because they play such a
3:58
Speaker 1: young actor, I feel like I see young kids, whereas
4:02
Speaker 1: because the cast for Off Campus they're a little bit older.
4:06
Speaker 1: I think the only person that's under the age of
4:08
Speaker 1: twenty is Hannah. I think her name's Elle Ella Ella.
4:12
Speaker 1: I think it's Ella. Anyways, she's nineteen, But everyone else
4:16
Speaker 1: is like twenty four, twenty seven, twenty eight, twenty nine,
4:19
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I feel like it's like so good. Mika,
4:23
Speaker 1: who plays Ali, She's the prettiest girl I've ever seen.
4:26
Speaker 1: I'm not even over exaggerating. Her face is like perfection.
4:31
Speaker 1: I love the relationship between Hannah and Garrett. Obviously Garrett incredible.
4:35
Speaker 1: We love Garrett. I love Hannah and Garrett's relationship. I
4:39
Speaker 1: think that's something really special to watch. I'm really excited
4:42
Speaker 1: for season two to see Ali and Dean be the
4:44
Speaker 1: lead and see how their relationship goes. And I don't know,
4:49
Speaker 1: you guys just really need to watch the TV show series.
4:52
Speaker 1: I really want to start reading the books. I think
4:55
Speaker 1: that would be a really good thing to read this summer.
4:57
Speaker 1: I think everybody's probably wanting to read the books this
4:59
Speaker 1: summer after seeing the TV show. But all in all,
5:03
Speaker 1: highly recommend if you're in need of a binge watching
5:06
Speaker 1: TV show. I think there's eight episodes in the like
5:08
Speaker 1: an hour long each, which also, can we talk about
5:11
Speaker 1: how there's only eight episodes? I'm like, can we like
5:13
Speaker 1: bring back the twenty five episodes per season? Like I
5:17
Speaker 1: was watching One Tree Hill last fall and there was
5:20
Speaker 1: like twenty two episodes per season, and they were all
5:23
Speaker 1: like forty two to fifty two minute episodes long, and
5:26
Speaker 1: I'm like, we need to bring this back. We need
5:29
Speaker 1: to bring the longer seasons back, because it's I don't know,
5:32
Speaker 1: so entertaining and then at least you feel like you're
5:35
Speaker 1: hooked for a longer period of time. I feel like
5:37
Speaker 1: we're binging things in a weekend and then we're like okay,
5:39
Speaker 1: now what, like what's going on next? So I don't know,
5:43
Speaker 1: I feel like we need to bring back the longer
5:44
Speaker 1: episodes and the longer seasons because I personally love it,
5:49
Speaker 1: or at least like kind of like what uh the
5:51
Speaker 1: summary turn pretty did like release an episode every week?
5:55
Speaker 1: Maybe not like that, but like maybe release every week
5:58
Speaker 1: like four to five episodes and then the next week
6:00
Speaker 1: four to five episodes whatever. I have no idea, just
6:03
Speaker 1: I feel like when you can like binge watch everything
6:05
Speaker 1: in a weekend, I get sad and I'm like, now
6:07
Speaker 1: what And we're all feeling the same way. I know
6:08
Speaker 1: it because everyone became addicted to that show and now
6:11
Speaker 1: everyone's like we have nothing to watch now and we
6:13
Speaker 1: have to wait a year to hear about Ali and
6:16
Speaker 1: Dean's story so or. Another series that I loved was
6:18
Speaker 1: The Vampire Diaries and again, longer episodes, longer seasons, like
6:23
Speaker 1: everything was just I don't know, it was so good
6:26
Speaker 1: back then. We need to bring that back. Another update
6:29
Speaker 1: is that I'm becoming a runner. I'm in my running
6:32
Speaker 1: era right now, and I decided to make a goal
6:35
Speaker 1: for June to get back into running at least once
6:38
Speaker 1: a week. And I've never really been a weekly runner,
6:40
Speaker 1: Like I always say, I'm like, oh, I'm gonna go
6:42
Speaker 1: and runs more or whatever, and then I'll run like
6:44
Speaker 1: once or twice in the summer, and then I'll never
6:46
Speaker 1: run again. And I just want to make it a
6:48
Speaker 1: weekly thing now, Like I'm like, why do I just
6:50
Speaker 1: do it the one off time and like never actually
6:52
Speaker 1: create a consistent routine of doing so when I actually
6:56
Speaker 1: do like it and I like running in the trails,
6:58
Speaker 1: and I do have a really nice trail that I
7:01
Speaker 1: could run that is by my place, and I can
7:04
Speaker 1: take Freddy with me. I can go early in the
7:06
Speaker 1: morning that way it's not too hot, and Freddy can
7:08
Speaker 1: actually enjoy it. I can actually enjoy it. So we
7:11
Speaker 1: went on our first run yesterday and it was so
7:14
Speaker 1: so nice, it wasn't too hot, it was like mainly
7:17
Speaker 1: in the shade. Freddie loved it. I could just tell
7:19
Speaker 1: you was so happy and I enjoyed it. So we're
7:23
Speaker 1: making it a weekly thing. It's my goal for the summer,
7:26
Speaker 1: my goal for June. So I'm trying to make it
7:28
Speaker 1: a weekly thing for myself. So anyways, get your running shoes,
7:31
Speaker 1: get a cute little workout set. If you're in need
7:34
Speaker 1: of wanting to become a runner, this is your sign.
7:36
Speaker 1: I truly did love it, and I can't wait for
7:38
Speaker 1: next week. I wouldn't be surprised if I keep at
7:42
Speaker 1: this with the fall season two. So anyways, I'm loving it,
7:46
Speaker 1: and that was just one of my goals for the
7:48
Speaker 1: month of June. In this week's episode, I wanted to
7:50
Speaker 1: talk about summer obsessions, so things that I'm currently obsessed
7:54
Speaker 1: with or things that I'm always obsessed with going into
7:56
Speaker 1: a new season, specifically summer. So when it comes to
7:59
Speaker 1: like meals and food, inspo, lifestyle inspo, fashion inspo, activity inspo,
8:05
Speaker 1: like things that I'm looking forward to doing this summer,
8:08
Speaker 1: and everything just kind of has a category in my opinion,
8:11
Speaker 1: Like there are certain things I think about or crave
8:14
Speaker 1: during the summer. There are certain things that I think
8:16
Speaker 1: about in crave during the fall season, during Christmas, during winter, Like,
8:20
Speaker 1: I feel like we all kind of like change up
8:22
Speaker 1: the things we eat, change up the things that we
8:24
Speaker 1: do based on a new season. So I thought we
8:26
Speaker 1: could talk about things that I'm obsessed with and that
8:29
Speaker 1: I'm going to be obsessed with this summer season and
8:32
Speaker 1: kind of want it to split it up into different categories.
8:34
Speaker 1: So we're going to start off with meal and food inspo.
8:37
Speaker 1: When I think about summer and I think about meals,
8:40
Speaker 1: I think about barbecues, I think about fruit, I think
8:43
Speaker 1: about salad season, I think about all my favorite things.
8:47
Speaker 1: And one thing that I just recently made that I
8:49
Speaker 1: have not made since last summer was pasta salad. I
8:53
Speaker 1: love a good pasta salad. Anything with pasta, cheese, vegetables, salad, dressing,
9:01
Speaker 1: Like I know one hundred percent it's gonna be good.
9:03
Speaker 1: I recently made this protein pasta salad that has over
9:06
Speaker 1: fifty grams of protein. The pasta alone has twenty grams
9:09
Speaker 1: of protein per cup, and usually I have more than
9:12
Speaker 1: a cup. I usually have like two cups of pasta
9:14
Speaker 1: when you actually measured all out into a bowl, so
9:17
Speaker 1: it ends up being like forty two grams of protein
9:19
Speaker 1: in that, and then I also like to add boc
9:21
Speaker 1: with chini, cheese and other ingredients, and it ends up
9:24
Speaker 1: being almost fifty grams of protein, which is wild. So
9:27
Speaker 1: I freaking love pasta salads. It's just something that I
9:30
Speaker 1: feel like I always crave around this time of year.
9:32
Speaker 1: Another kind of salad I love is a potato salad.
9:34
Speaker 1: There is this one potato salad from Costco. If you know,
9:38
Speaker 1: you know, it is the best potato salad recipe I've
9:42
Speaker 1: ever ever had. And of course it's probably not the
9:45
Speaker 1: healthiest thing because there's probably a bunch of mayo in
9:47
Speaker 1: it and all that. But again, weekend treat going to
9:50
Speaker 1: the cottage, I'm gonna have potato salad. Like, summer is
9:53
Speaker 1: all about following the eighty twenty rule, and we're gonna
9:56
Speaker 1: talk about that in a little bit with lifestyle, because
9:59
Speaker 1: we are way more active in the summer in terms
10:01
Speaker 1: of like getting out of the house more and doing
10:03
Speaker 1: more things, wanting to make plans. I feel like usually
10:05
Speaker 1: in the winter I'm not going out as much. Right
10:08
Speaker 1: like I'm hibernating I'm not really leaving the house. So
10:10
Speaker 1: this is the opportunity to make memories, do fun things
10:14
Speaker 1: and not let food be the reason why you're not
10:17
Speaker 1: doing those things. So if you're at a cottage and
10:20
Speaker 1: everyone's making fun recipes and new things, and you're looking
10:23
Speaker 1: at that and you're like, oh my god, that probably
10:24
Speaker 1: has a thousand calories, Who cares? Why are we caring
10:27
Speaker 1: about calories? It's twenty twenty six. We don't care about
10:29
Speaker 1: that shit. Memories are also made through food when I travel,
10:33
Speaker 1: when I go on trips with my husband, when I
10:35
Speaker 1: go on trips with my family, like things that I
10:36
Speaker 1: talk about still to this day. When I went to Italy,
10:38
Speaker 1: for example, for my wedding, I'll be like, oh my god,
10:41
Speaker 1: do you remember that place that we went to that
10:43
Speaker 1: had the best crab? Oh my god, that was the
10:46
Speaker 1: best place I've ever been to. Like, Okay, there was
10:48
Speaker 1: a memory right there being made because I was obsessed
10:51
Speaker 1: with the dinner that we had that night in Italy
10:54
Speaker 1: with my husband watching the sunset whatever. Like the memory
10:57
Speaker 1: was made because we decided to eat good food, food
11:00
Speaker 1: and not let food stop us from living in that moment.
11:03
Speaker 1: So food, I think does play a really important part
11:06
Speaker 1: of just like making memories, making life feel exciting again.
11:10
Speaker 1: So don't let the food stop you from doing fun things.
11:13
Speaker 1: I also love a barrota peach salad. Fruit in a
11:18
Speaker 1: salad is elite. Another one that's really great is the
11:21
Speaker 1: watermelon feta mint salad. Oh my goodness, I can't wait
11:24
Speaker 1: to make that. I have not made that yet, and
11:26
Speaker 1: it's like one of my top ten cravings. I feel
11:29
Speaker 1: like in the summer, I just always always want that
11:32
Speaker 1: watermelon feta salad. It's so good. So anything with fruit
11:35
Speaker 1: in a salad. I'm never gonna say no to borata cheese,
11:38
Speaker 1: peaches in a salad. It's incredible, literally the best thing ever. Obviously,
11:43
Speaker 1: it's fruit season, so I feel like there's certain fruits
11:45
Speaker 1: that I crave specifically throughout the summer season, one of
11:48
Speaker 1: them being watermelon. Of course, I could eat an entire
11:51
Speaker 1: watermelon in one sitting. I'm not even over exaggerating. Watermelon
11:55
Speaker 1: is like one thing that I crave every single summer.
11:57
Speaker 1: I also crave cherries, and cherries a very specific fruit
12:02
Speaker 1: that I feel like I crave only around this time
12:04
Speaker 1: of the year, Like I can't imagine myself buying cherries
12:07
Speaker 1: in the winter, Like that's just weird to me, Like
12:09
Speaker 1: I would never do that. I purposely buy cherries typically
12:12
Speaker 1: in the summer because I feel like I crave it.
12:15
Speaker 1: It's a specific fruit that I just crave throughout this season.
12:18
Speaker 1: I also feel like I'm really buying a lot of
12:20
Speaker 1: like pineapple, mangoes, berries, Like I feel like I'm always
12:25
Speaker 1: really buying berries, but like pineapple and mango specifically, I
12:28
Speaker 1: feel like I'm buying a lot more of because once again,
12:31
Speaker 1: going into the summer season, I feel like I'm just
12:33
Speaker 1: craving it more. I also love grapes. Grapes is another thing,
12:37
Speaker 1: green grapes specifically. I like to add grapes actually in
12:40
Speaker 1: my freezer sometimes and eat them frozen. I don't know
12:43
Speaker 1: if you've ever done that, but it's like a little
12:45
Speaker 1: sweet dessert to have after lunch or dinner, and frozen
12:48
Speaker 1: grapes that crunch and the sweetness. If you get the
12:51
Speaker 1: cotton candy grapes, that's the cherry on top, green cotton
12:55
Speaker 1: candy grapes. I will never forget that day when I
12:57
Speaker 1: discover them. I think it was like two or three
12:59
Speaker 1: years ago, was pretty recent, and I saw cotton candy
13:03
Speaker 1: at the grocery store, and I'm like, what the heck
13:04
Speaker 1: cotton candy grape So I bought them and then I
13:07
Speaker 1: searched it up and everyone's like raving about these cotton
13:09
Speaker 1: candy grapes and I'm like, Okay, this is something that
13:12
Speaker 1: people talk about all the time. So anyways, I got
13:15
Speaker 1: them and I became addicted. They're so sweet, they are
13:20
Speaker 1: so freaking good. Anyways, if you put those in the freezer,
13:24
Speaker 1: thank me later. It's like the best healthier dessert option
13:27
Speaker 1: in my opinion. You can even add like little sugarcoating
13:30
Speaker 1: on top if you want to make it more of
13:32
Speaker 1: a sweet sour kind of situation. But it's so good
13:35
Speaker 1: and it's like one of my favorite healthier dessert options
13:38
Speaker 1: in the summer. Since we're talking about desserts, I want
13:40
Speaker 1: to talk about a dessert that I recently made this
13:42
Speaker 1: week that I saw on Pinterest. And I've been really
13:45
Speaker 1: into Pinterest right now. Obviously I'm always into Pinterests, as
13:47
Speaker 1: you guys know, but I feel like, because we've entered
13:49
Speaker 1: a new season, I'm like diving into the summer recipes
13:52
Speaker 1: on Pinterest, and s'mores is obviously a big dessert option
13:57
Speaker 1: that people bring to the cottage or if you have
13:59
Speaker 1: a bomb, I are in your backyard having a small
14:01
Speaker 1: chocolate marshmallows. Gram crackers obviously elite, such a great dessert.
14:05
Speaker 1: Some of you may or may not know that I'm
14:06
Speaker 1: obsessed with chocolate. I think I've made that very clear.
14:09
Speaker 1: And s'mores sounded really good to me the other day,
14:13
Speaker 1: and s'mores sounded so good, except I'm like, oh, I
14:17
Speaker 1: kind of want to do something on a healthier take,
14:18
Speaker 1: Like I don't want to do it with a gram cracker. Well,
14:21
Speaker 1: we did it with a date. So I took a date,
14:25
Speaker 1: I put chocolate in it, and I put a roasted marshmallow.
14:29
Speaker 1: I roasted the marshmallow literally on my gas dove. Okay,
14:32
Speaker 1: we should film a TikTok of me doing this because
14:33
Speaker 1: it's so funny. I'm using a fork and a marshmallow.
14:36
Speaker 1: I'm putting it over my gas stove, getting it all
14:38
Speaker 1: golden and roasted. Right. I put it on top of
14:41
Speaker 1: the chocolate in the date, and the chocolate melts in
14:43
Speaker 1: the date. Okay, perfect little healthy sandwich. That's all I
14:48
Speaker 1: have to say. So you don't use the gram cracker
14:50
Speaker 1: all you need is the chocolate and marshmallow and a date.
14:53
Speaker 1: That's it. It literally tastes incredible. I saw it on
14:56
Speaker 1: bindest I immediately was like, I need to try this
14:59
Speaker 1: and I'll post it of it soon. But wow, wow, wow,
15:02
Speaker 1: it's my new obsession. And yeah, just a healthier dessert
15:06
Speaker 1: option if you're looking to change up your desserts for
15:08
Speaker 1: the summer. Obviously, it's barbecue season, so I feel like
15:11
Speaker 1: I'm also craving a lot of food on the barbecue,
15:13
Speaker 1: like chicken, kebabs, steak, corn on the cob. Okay, corn
15:18
Speaker 1: on the cob is my favorite thing to have in
15:19
Speaker 1: the summer. Of course, doing ice cream dates is a
15:22
Speaker 1: non negotiable. I feel like I'm probably getting ice cream
15:24
Speaker 1: at least once a week, usually on the weekends. With Zach,
15:27
Speaker 1: we'll go at some point after dinner and we'll go
15:30
Speaker 1: get ice cream at a different ice cream shop every
15:32
Speaker 1: single time, or sometimes we'll go to the beach get
15:35
Speaker 1: ice cream, walk the beach, or sit on the beach.
15:37
Speaker 1: Like it's just like a non negotiable for me to
15:39
Speaker 1: have ice cream in the summer. I think we all
15:40
Speaker 1: crave ice cream, especially when the climate's so hot. Some
15:43
Speaker 1: type of cold ice cream or popsicle or anything like that.
15:47
Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent craving during this time of the
15:49
Speaker 1: year when it comes to drinks. I love the idea
15:51
Speaker 1: of refreshers, especially at Starbucks. I do really love the refreshers.
15:55
Speaker 1: I love the strawberry a co one. I've also tried
15:59
Speaker 1: the peach one, which is really good. I think actually
16:01
Speaker 1: they have a few new refreshers. I'll have to check
16:03
Speaker 1: it out. I haven't been to Sturbucks in a bit,
16:05
Speaker 1: but I need to go check out their new refreshers
16:07
Speaker 1: because I do think they have some really good new ones.
16:10
Speaker 1: My girlfriend was telling me about it, and she said,
16:12
Speaker 1: there's like this one that's got like rainbows or bubble
16:16
Speaker 1: kind of like bubble tea essentially. I don't know, but
16:18
Speaker 1: she was saying something about how it had like a
16:20
Speaker 1: passion fruit flavor to it. So yeah, anyways, something that
16:25
Speaker 1: I need to try and look into that. I also
16:27
Speaker 1: always crave lemonade around the summer season. I know, it's
16:30
Speaker 1: so random. I feel like lemonade reminds me of my
16:32
Speaker 1: childhood because I used to be obsessed with lemonade. So
16:36
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm definitely wanting more lemonade in the
16:38
Speaker 1: summer season, Shirley Temples have obviously made to come back.
16:42
Speaker 1: That was my favorite drink as a kid growing up,
16:44
Speaker 1: was ordering a Shirley Temple and I feel like that's
16:46
Speaker 1: made a huge comeback. Whether you want to spike it
16:48
Speaker 1: or not with alcohol, You're more than welcome to do so.
16:50
Speaker 1: But Shirley Temples have definitely made to come back. And
16:54
Speaker 1: of course Hugo Sprits, Apparel sprits. If you are at
16:58
Speaker 1: a patio with your husband or your boyfriend or your
17:01
Speaker 1: girlfriends and you're craving a drink. When I'm sitting at
17:04
Speaker 1: a patio in the summer outside the heat, my immediate
17:07
Speaker 1: instinct is wanting to order a Hugo Sprits or Naparel sprits.
17:10
Speaker 1: Those are the two things that I immediately crave. And it's
17:13
Speaker 1: sprits season, It's the best season. And yeah, those are
17:17
Speaker 1: like the top things that I can think of when
17:19
Speaker 1: it comes to summer foods, summer meals. When I think
17:23
Speaker 1: of summer, I think of those things specifically and things
17:25
Speaker 1: that I'm like always craving throughout the summer season. Okay,
17:28
Speaker 1: let's talk about activities now. Things that I want to
17:30
Speaker 1: do this summer, or things that I feel like I'm
17:33
Speaker 1: always gravitating towards for plans or anything like that, one
17:37
Speaker 1: of them being backyard hangouts. I have a very nice
17:39
Speaker 1: patio that I set up last summer. I really want
17:41
Speaker 1: to take advantage of using it with my friends. I
17:44
Speaker 1: want to use their fire in the backyard. We could
17:46
Speaker 1: also play some board games or even just a card game,
17:49
Speaker 1: getting some drinks going, getting the barbecue going. Zach also
17:53
Speaker 1: somehow set up a backyard projector on the fence, so
17:57
Speaker 1: now we can watch TV outside. We're just doing all
18:00
Speaker 1: the fun things out there. So anyways, taking advantage of
18:03
Speaker 1: using our backyard hanging out with friends. It's a new
18:06
Speaker 1: spot for entertaining. And again, finding time to entertain your
18:10
Speaker 1: friends during this time of the year is the best.
18:12
Speaker 1: Going on weekends doing fun things like we're getting out
18:15
Speaker 1: of the house more again, We're doing things again, which
18:17
Speaker 1: is nice. So backyard hangouts are definitely one thing that
18:20
Speaker 1: I'm making a non negotiable. Rollerblading I just purchased myself rollerblades.
18:26
Speaker 1: I don't know what made me recently think of this,
18:28
Speaker 1: but as a kid I used to go rollerblading with
18:31
Speaker 1: my dad and then my two friends and their dads.
18:34
Speaker 1: We were like, I think, like eight or nine years old,
18:37
Speaker 1: and we would do this as a hangout with our dads.
18:40
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I miss doing that, like I miss
18:44
Speaker 1: going on rollerblade dates. So I am determined to do
18:47
Speaker 1: rollerblade dates this summer golden hour, going to get ice
18:51
Speaker 1: cream again, even if you want to, like go to
18:53
Speaker 1: a specific trail that's paid, Like, there's a few areas
18:56
Speaker 1: that I can think of in the Autowa area that
18:57
Speaker 1: I really want to, like drive down with my sister
18:59
Speaker 1: and my friend, or drive down with Zach and putting
19:02
Speaker 1: on our roller blades, getting a cardio session, and at
19:05
Speaker 1: the same time going to get ice cream. Like I
19:07
Speaker 1: don't know, rollerblading just sounds like a really fun idea
19:10
Speaker 1: to me. I used to bike all the time, but
19:12
Speaker 1: I feel like taking my bike to places is obviously
19:14
Speaker 1: a lot more difficult of shoving our bikes in the car.
19:17
Speaker 1: I rather just like, grab my roller blades, put my
19:19
Speaker 1: roller blades on, go rollerblading. I also had been skating
19:23
Speaker 1: for many years, like I grew up playing Ringett, so
19:26
Speaker 1: I feel like rollerblading is very similar to skating. So
19:28
Speaker 1: I feel like I have a really good momentum of
19:31
Speaker 1: doing it, if that makes sense. So I don't know,
19:33
Speaker 1: I just like miss that activity and I feel like
19:36
Speaker 1: it kind of like makes me relive my childhood, which
19:38
Speaker 1: I think is so important to like relive moments that
19:41
Speaker 1: make you think of your childhood, whether it's playing a
19:44
Speaker 1: sport again that you used to love as a kid,
19:46
Speaker 1: or an activity that you used to do as a kid.
19:48
Speaker 1: So rollerblading I think is very nostalgic to me, and
19:51
Speaker 1: I really really want to bring it back. So that's
19:54
Speaker 1: one thing that I really want to make my summer
19:56
Speaker 1: activity that I can do on a weekly basis. Obviously,
19:59
Speaker 1: outdo runs, that's something I'm doing. I think that's something
20:02
Speaker 1: that you should consider too. If you've loved running in
20:04
Speaker 1: the past and you've been wanting to get back into it,
20:06
Speaker 1: this is your sign to maybe start doing it. It
20:09
Speaker 1: could also be having a picnic with your friends, So
20:11
Speaker 1: finding the time on the weekends or again a weeknight
20:15
Speaker 1: after work, getting together with friends, going to a park,
20:18
Speaker 1: setting up a picnic, everybody bringing their own maybe appetizer
20:22
Speaker 1: or dessert or drink, and like going to sit at
20:25
Speaker 1: a park, catch up with your friends, having good food
20:28
Speaker 1: and just like I don't know, having a good time.
20:30
Speaker 1: I think that's such a fun little activity to do
20:33
Speaker 1: in the summer. Work dates. So if you have the
20:35
Speaker 1: luxury of working from home or being self employed, like
20:38
Speaker 1: finding time to go to coffee shops or going on
20:41
Speaker 1: a patio and just like getting work done catching up
20:44
Speaker 1: with a friend at the same time, maybe if you
20:46
Speaker 1: can find a friend that also is self employed or
20:50
Speaker 1: works from home, that would be great because then you
20:52
Speaker 1: can do it together, but you could also do it
20:55
Speaker 1: alone solo. Outdoor coffee dates are literally the best. I
20:58
Speaker 1: love just like going to a coffee shop, getting work done,
21:00
Speaker 1: being outside, being on a patio like truly is the best.
21:04
Speaker 1: Just trying to find ways to be outside more and
21:07
Speaker 1: enjoy the nice weather. For example, today it's like twenty
21:10
Speaker 1: eight degrees, which is so warm, and I spent my
21:13
Speaker 1: morning literally working from outside and it was just like
21:16
Speaker 1: really really enjoyable. I try and have my coffee outside.
21:19
Speaker 1: I've been journaling outside, I've been meditating outside, I've been
21:22
Speaker 1: trying to do workouts outside. Like I'm literally being outside
21:25
Speaker 1: all the time. And the benefit of doing all these
21:27
Speaker 1: things outside is that I'm also getting a really good
21:30
Speaker 1: tan which I'm not complaining about I love a tan,
21:32
Speaker 1: so the fact I'm getting a tan and getting stuff
21:35
Speaker 1: done at the same time is the most elite combo.
21:38
Speaker 1: Could also do sunset bike rides, reading outside more so,
21:42
Speaker 1: whether you want to go to a park or a beach,
21:44
Speaker 1: and getting a book. That was one of my summer
21:46
Speaker 1: goals was to read more so I think I want
21:48
Speaker 1: to get the second book of the whole Off Campus series.
21:52
Speaker 1: That way I can get a head start on what's
21:55
Speaker 1: going on with Ali and Dean. That's my goal is
21:57
Speaker 1: to get that book. And then obviously I do have
22:00
Speaker 1: a trip coming up, so I want to make sure
22:02
Speaker 1: I have a book for that that I can ride
22:04
Speaker 1: on the plane. And I will be at some beaches
22:07
Speaker 1: for a trip in the coming weeks. So anyways, definitely
22:11
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to read lots, which is great. This
22:13
Speaker 1: is something that I used to do with Zach like
22:15
Speaker 1: a long time ago, and I'm like, we need to
22:16
Speaker 1: bring this back because it is such a fun date
22:19
Speaker 1: night idea. But going to the drive in movies, we
22:22
Speaker 1: have an outdoor drive in movie like set up here.
22:27
Speaker 1: I'm sure most people probably have a drive in movie
22:29
Speaker 1: set up in your hometown. But it is really fun
22:32
Speaker 1: to like open your car trunk or for example, my husband,
22:36
Speaker 1: he is a truck so we're able to like take
22:37
Speaker 1: the bed of his truck, put a bunch of blankets
22:40
Speaker 1: in there. There's popcorn that you could buy candy, and
22:43
Speaker 1: then you're literally sitting in a forest and you have
22:46
Speaker 1: this like massive theater screen and you get to watch
22:49
Speaker 1: movies outdoors, which I think is such a fun idea,
22:53
Speaker 1: but I haven't done it in like I think the
22:55
Speaker 1: last time we did it was seven years ago, maybe longer,
22:58
Speaker 1: like it was a long time ago. And that is
23:00
Speaker 1: one thing that I brought up to Zac literally the
23:02
Speaker 1: other night. I was like, we need to do that
23:03
Speaker 1: again because that was such a fun date night idea.
23:05
Speaker 1: And I don't know, I think it's a fun little
23:07
Speaker 1: summer thing to do with your boyfriend or your friends.
23:11
Speaker 1: I could probably list a thousand more things when it
23:13
Speaker 1: comes to summer activities, but those are the things that
23:15
Speaker 1: I can think of right now that I feel like
23:17
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do this summer. And obviously like activity
23:20
Speaker 1: could be also like booking things with friends, like going golfing, more,
23:25
Speaker 1: going to the cottage, more, going camping, planning fun weekends
23:29
Speaker 1: like that could also be activities that I plan on doing,
23:32
Speaker 1: but anyways, those are things that I think about when
23:34
Speaker 1: it comes to summer. It's just again being active, getting
23:37
Speaker 1: out of the house, doing fun things, and yeah, that's
23:41
Speaker 1: kind of the things that I plan on doing for
23:43
Speaker 1: the summer season. So let's talk about lifestyle for a second,
23:46
Speaker 1: because I kind of talked about like the eighty twenty
23:48
Speaker 1: rule and how this is the time to really stick
23:51
Speaker 1: to that rule going into the summer season, because I
23:54
Speaker 1: think we all kind of feel the urge to obviously
23:57
Speaker 1: stay healthy, be in our wellness era, but all want
24:00
Speaker 1: to make sure that they let loose and like still
24:02
Speaker 1: have those drinks or still have the food that they enjoy,
24:05
Speaker 1: or still go away for a weekend and not work
24:08
Speaker 1: out and be okay with that. Right, Like, it's so
24:10
Speaker 1: so important to prioritize balance this summer season because I
24:14
Speaker 1: think this is where people get really hard on themselves,
24:18
Speaker 1: where they think, oh, like this winter, I was so good,
24:20
Speaker 1: I was so disciplined and like I kept myself so
24:23
Speaker 1: you know, on top of things, I ate so healthy. Whatever. Well, yeah,
24:27
Speaker 1: it's because in the winter we're not getting out as much.
24:29
Speaker 1: We're hibernating, We're staying in the house more. You know,
24:32
Speaker 1: the days are shorter, it's getting darker outside at like
24:36
Speaker 1: five pm, Like nobody wants to leave the house. We
24:38
Speaker 1: all want to stay in, eat our dinner, and go
24:40
Speaker 1: to bed. Whereas now the lifestyle has really changed in
24:43
Speaker 1: the summer, where the days are getting longer. The sun's
24:46
Speaker 1: not setting to like eight thirty nine o'clock, so there's
24:48
Speaker 1: opportunities for you to get out of the house more
24:51
Speaker 1: after dinner, whether it's going on a bike ride, going
24:54
Speaker 1: to hang out with friends, going to just do really anything.
24:57
Speaker 1: Like the days just feel longer, or you're waking up
25:00
Speaker 1: earlier because the sunrise is happening at like five point
25:04
Speaker 1: forty five in the morning versus you know, seven or
25:06
Speaker 1: eight am when when it would happen in the winter.
25:09
Speaker 1: All in all, we are not in hibernation mode anymore.
25:12
Speaker 1: We are finally out of that hump that we don't
25:15
Speaker 1: want to be in. Right, So I just want to
25:17
Speaker 1: strive the importance of being balanced and following the eighty
25:21
Speaker 1: twenty rule and actually being able to still work out
25:24
Speaker 1: during the week and then maybe have your weekends off
25:26
Speaker 1: of doing fun things, eating good food, having good drinks, like,
25:29
Speaker 1: really really prioritize that, and no, as I said, that
25:33
Speaker 1: a lot of your memories are made when you're not
25:35
Speaker 1: saying no to these plans. If you want to go
25:37
Speaker 1: out with the girls and have a patio drink and
25:39
Speaker 1: have a fun appetizer, you should say yes to that.
25:42
Speaker 1: You shouldn't have to say no to that. So just
25:45
Speaker 1: having fun weekends like as I said, beach trips, patio hopping,
25:49
Speaker 1: cottage weekends. Don't say no to these plans because you
25:52
Speaker 1: don't want to eat the food or you don't want
25:54
Speaker 1: to go on the girl's weekend because you want to
25:56
Speaker 1: make sure you get your workouts in well. Missing two
25:58
Speaker 1: days is not going to ruin your progum, missing five
26:01
Speaker 1: days is not going to ruin your progress. So be
26:03
Speaker 1: really kind to yourself this summer and really prioritize balance
26:07
Speaker 1: in the eighty twenty rule, because I think your lifestyle
26:09
Speaker 1: does change a little bit in the summer. But just
26:11
Speaker 1: know that once winter comes back and the cold comes back,
26:15
Speaker 1: you're gonna get right back into that grind of being
26:18
Speaker 1: in that routine that you want, and you probably won't
26:20
Speaker 1: have as many plans as you typically do. So anyways,
26:23
Speaker 1: I just wanted to vouch on that and really make
26:25
Speaker 1: sure that you guys prioritize that this summer, because I
26:28
Speaker 1: think it's so crucial to yeah, make memories, make plans,
26:32
Speaker 1: and have a fun summer. Okay. The last category is
26:35
Speaker 1: fashion inspo, so things that I think about going into
26:37
Speaker 1: the summer season. When it comes to fashion, this is
26:40
Speaker 1: probably my favorite category because you guys know how much
26:42
Speaker 1: I love shopping. I love, you know, just styling outfits
26:46
Speaker 1: all that, But I'm a simple girl when it comes
26:48
Speaker 1: to summer, Okay, I need a good pair of shorts,
26:51
Speaker 1: a cute tank top, and a good tan and I'm happy.
26:53
Speaker 1: Like I try to not like make my outfits overly done.
26:57
Speaker 1: I try and make them pretty simple. I feel like
26:59
Speaker 1: every time I want my outfit to look amazing. It's
27:02
Speaker 1: more so when I'm on a trip or if I'm
27:03
Speaker 1: going out for dinner, I want to like obviously put
27:05
Speaker 1: more effort in my outfit. But during the day, white
27:08
Speaker 1: tank top, Dunham Jean shorts, I'm a happy girl with
27:10
Speaker 1: flip flops. That's my go to summer outfit. And then
27:13
Speaker 1: for going for dinner, I'd probably want a good pair
27:15
Speaker 1: of Dunham jeans with a really nice top, maybe a
27:18
Speaker 1: nice pair of sandal strappy heels with a cute bag
27:21
Speaker 1: and I'm happy, you know what I mean. Or if
27:23
Speaker 1: I'm going to Europe, yeah, I'm gonna want a nice
27:26
Speaker 1: two piece set that's like a matching outfit, because again,
27:29
Speaker 1: we're on vacation. I want to go full out with
27:31
Speaker 1: my outfits. I want to look good. I feel like
27:33
Speaker 1: that's the only time I really do get to dress
27:35
Speaker 1: up is going on vacation or if I'm going to
27:37
Speaker 1: a wedding, but anything else during the day, patio hopping, whatever. Like,
27:42
Speaker 1: I'm pretty simple with my outfits because let's be honest,
27:45
Speaker 1: the tansy outfit, Okay, we all want to look tanned.
27:48
Speaker 1: We all want to look great for the summers. So anyways,
27:51
Speaker 1: Dnham shorts and tank top season is officially here. I
27:54
Speaker 1: actually just picked up a bunch of stuff from a
27:55
Speaker 1: Ritzia which I'm gonna be posting a hall soon. But
27:58
Speaker 1: I ordered a bunch of like strapless two tops, tank tops,
28:02
Speaker 1: light denim, like all that stuff I'm very very much into.
28:05
Speaker 1: So light denim's really in right now, with like light
28:08
Speaker 1: denim jeans, jean shorts, light denim tops, jackets, all that
28:13
Speaker 1: a fun color flip flop. So I just got these
28:15
Speaker 1: red flip flops. I'm loving them. I'm literally wearing them
28:18
Speaker 1: all the time. I feel like red is one of
28:20
Speaker 1: those colors where it can still be neutral. So I'm
28:22
Speaker 1: wearing it with just like denim jeans and a cute
28:25
Speaker 1: white top, or again, black pants with a plaid top
28:29
Speaker 1: over top, like just kind of styling the red flip
28:31
Speaker 1: flops with a neutral color palette. I also love linen
28:35
Speaker 1: anything around this time, so like linen tops, linen dresses,
28:38
Speaker 1: anything white linen is beautiful during this time of the year.
28:42
Speaker 1: Even like white linen bedding is also really nice. Not
28:46
Speaker 1: fashion related to whatsoever, but I just love white linen.
28:49
Speaker 1: When it comes to the summer season, Bucket hats so
28:52
Speaker 1: obviously need to protect our face, So bucket hats, I
28:55
Speaker 1: feel like, are something that I gravitate towards during the
28:57
Speaker 1: summer season. Also baseball hats of denim, mini skirts. I
29:02
Speaker 1: love a dena miniskirt or mini skirt. Love skirts where
29:05
Speaker 1: it's a short and skirt in one, crochet tops, anything
29:10
Speaker 1: with bright color. I feel like I definitely gravitate towards
29:13
Speaker 1: bright colors in the summer. My recent Aritzia order, I
29:16
Speaker 1: ordered like a sea foam green tube top, a salmon
29:19
Speaker 1: pink tube top, and olive green tank top. Like, I
29:22
Speaker 1: really went fun with the colors. Obviously yellow. You guys
29:25
Speaker 1: know how much I love yellow, So yeah, just kind
29:29
Speaker 1: of went really fun with the colors. And I think
29:30
Speaker 1: that's so important to do in the summer season. We
29:33
Speaker 1: love the capris over here. I'm a huge Capri girl.
29:37
Speaker 1: I've been loving it. I don't know if everybody loves capris.
29:40
Speaker 1: I know it's a love hate relationship, but I am
29:44
Speaker 1: a Capri girl and it's Capri girl summer, so capris
29:47
Speaker 1: are out for workouts. I have these black capris from Lululemon.
29:51
Speaker 1: If you're needing a good black workout, Capri Lululemon is
29:54
Speaker 1: your girl, so so good. And then I've also seen
29:58
Speaker 1: people style it with like denim or I know a
30:01
Speaker 1: Ritzia has a few like cotton capris that you could
30:04
Speaker 1: style for like athleisure wear or more casual wear. So
30:09
Speaker 1: capris have definitely made a comeback. Also have been loving
30:12
Speaker 1: quarter length tops. I think I mentioned that a few
30:14
Speaker 1: episodes back, but I'm still into it. I think it's
30:16
Speaker 1: a nice little summer top to wear with jeans. Very
30:19
Speaker 1: cute basic outfit. And I love that it's not a
30:21
Speaker 1: long sleeve, but the quarter length obviously makes it very
30:24
Speaker 1: wearable for the summer and like you're not dying of heat.
30:28
Speaker 1: It's just like a nice light, breatheable top paired with
30:31
Speaker 1: other dunhim skirt, dunim shorts or jeans. I think that's
30:35
Speaker 1: like a cute summer outfit. Having a good staple pair
30:39
Speaker 1: of black sunglasses. I wear these Amazon sunglasses that I
30:42
Speaker 1: think I got for like twelve dollars. They're like a
30:44
Speaker 1: black oval pair of sunglasses. They don't need to be expensive,
30:48
Speaker 1: but the point is is that they're like my staple
30:50
Speaker 1: go to sunglasses that I've been wearing for the past
30:52
Speaker 1: few weeks and I love them. So having a good
30:56
Speaker 1: black pair of sunglasses, I think is a need for
30:58
Speaker 1: the summer. And then lastly, just a classic white sneaker
31:02
Speaker 1: just to have for all your outfits. Again, having a
31:05
Speaker 1: good staple shoe for the summer I think is important,
31:08
Speaker 1: So having a fun colored flip flop, having a good
31:10
Speaker 1: pair of white sneakers, having a staple pair of black sunglasses,
31:14
Speaker 1: and then again just really having some fun with like
31:17
Speaker 1: bright colors in your tops, crochet tops, white linen, changing
31:22
Speaker 1: up your denim color. So maybe if you're a dark
31:24
Speaker 1: dunim girly, start going down the light denim route now
31:27
Speaker 1: that it's summer again, tank tops, tube tops, Like I
31:31
Speaker 1: don't know, that's like my wardrobe right now. Is all
31:35
Speaker 1: of that for this season, and that's all I'm buying,
31:38
Speaker 1: That's all I want. And yeah, I just feel like
31:41
Speaker 1: that's like my inspo for when it comes to fashion
31:44
Speaker 1: for the summer season. Well, those are my summer obsessions
31:47
Speaker 1: when it comes to things to do this summer, things
31:50
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about when it comes to meal inspo, food inspo,
31:54
Speaker 1: lifestyle changes that I've obviously have been making for the
31:57
Speaker 1: summer season, and then fashion. But I hope you guys
