Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the Hawkerel Energy Podcast.
0:17
I'm your host, Kayleie, and this is your weekly reminder that it's a
0:20
new day, a new week, a new mindset, and another day for
0:23
you to become the Hawtgirl energy you want to attract. Hello you guys,
0:28
Happy Wednesday. I am a day late because if you guys watched my Instagram
0:33
story, it was a May Long weekend for us here in Canada. So
0:38
I decided to enjoy the weekend off and take that Monday off as well and
0:44
just enjoy quality time with my family. So that is what I did.
0:49
It was a very wholesome weekend. I haven't had a weekend like that in
0:54
a very long time, I think just because there's been so much travel going
0:58
on, and also because I feel like the May Long weekend, at least
1:02
here in Canada, I feel like that's the kickoff to summer. And maybe
1:04
that's for people in the States, they feel like Memorial Weekend, which I
1:07
believe is this weekend, they feel like that's kind of like the start of
1:11
summer. So for me, I feel like this weekend was just, yeah,
1:15
the start of summer. In my opinion, and that is literally why
1:19
I felt motivated to record this episode today about hawk Girl summer because I personally
1:25
feel like we're officially in it. The weather's been beautiful here, the sun
1:27
has been out, the heat is here. I'm getting a tan, I'm
1:32
feeling confident, I'm feeling good. I feel like the Hawkerel energy is here,
1:37
and I'm so freaking pumped about it. And I thought, you know
1:41
what, there's no better time than talking about hawk Girl summer now. I
1:45
really wanted to share my summer bucket list in terms of things that I'm going
1:49
to be doing this summer, at least things that I'm manifesting, things that
1:52
I'm striving to do for the summer season, and thought I would share it
1:56
with you guys because I know how much you guys love these episodes. So
1:59
I'm going to share some bucket list items as well as some summer recipes that
2:02
I've been dying to make, and yeah, just all summer things. Before
2:07
we get into this episode, I want to talk about this weekend because this
2:09
weekend literally was such a great weekend. Zach has been working every Sunday for
2:15
like the past two months, so honestly, I've only been able to see
2:19
him on Saturdays, and he works super late hours. Like I'm talking,
2:22
he gets home at like seven. By the time we cook dinner, it's
2:25
like clean up, it's like eight thirty, and then he's usually in bed
2:29
by nine because he's up at like four thirty five for work. So I
2:34
don't really consider us like spending as much quality time as we usually do because
2:38
he got a promotion with his job, which I'm obviously very proud of him
2:40
for having that accomplishment, and he loves what he does, so that's what's
2:44
most important to me. But you know, we haven't really had some good
2:46
quality time. And this weekend was the first weekend where A I was home
2:52
not from traveling, and B he was off, so we were able to
2:54
have three full days together and I feel like we really just try to maximize
3:00
as much time together as we could, and it was such a great weekend.
3:04
We started off at going to spin Co. Obviously, he loves spincoa
3:07
guys, It's so funny. I love how much he loves it. But
3:10
what's so funny is that every time we book a class, he always books
3:14
a bike in the very back corner, and I'm always like in the very
3:16
front basically, so whenever we check in, the girls are always like,
3:21
do you guys not want to sit together? We're like, no, no,
3:23
I want to be in the front. He wants me in the bag.
3:24
Like that's how we roll, and it's just so funny. So we've
3:29
been going now consistently, like every Saturday morning, I would say, like
3:31
the past four weeks, which has been really nice and well besides like my
3:36
London trip, like we went two times before my trip, and then we've
3:38
gone twice since I've been back, So I don't know, it's just been
3:40
like our fun little thing that we do together and we love it. And
3:44
yeah, so we started our morning off with the spincoat class. We then
3:46
went to Alice's Cafe, which is this cute little coffee shop in carp and
3:52
we went to a farmer's market, so that was kind of like the start
3:54
to our weekend on Saturday. And then Saturday night we had a fire with
4:00
a few of our friends, so that was super fun. I love campfires
4:04
in the summer. I feel like it's literally the best, like going to
4:08
a cottage laying by a campfire, like, oh my god, like the
4:11
best. And then Sunday, we woke up and what's my parents' place and
4:15
had a super chill like chill by the pool day like it was, Oh,
4:18
I miss those days being in the pool, being in the sunshine,
4:23
getting a tan. As you guys know, I'm trying to fix my tan
4:26
lines and one of you guys actually messaged me about making sure that I don't
4:30
ruin my tan lines, and guys, I'm trying so hard. I will
4:32
be honest, It's not fully gone. It's a little bit better. I'm
4:35
literally trying to apply sunscreen all over my body, but the tan lines,
4:40
like of the bikini line, it's not really working. But you know it's
4:44
I've only tanned twice. So let's just pray that the tan lines go away
4:47
before the wedding. That's what I'm praying. But anyways, so we focused
4:50
on tanning and then Zach and I had like a little sunset date and once
4:55
get ice cream. You guys know that ice cream dates are like my perfect
5:00
date night in the summer. Like Zach and I s tried to do ice
5:02
cream runs like weekly. I'm not even over exaggerating, like we try and
5:05
get ice cream once a week and just that's like our little date thing and
5:09
then we like to go walk and watch a sunset. But yeah, so
5:13
those are like the highlights of my weekend. I would say Monday was again
5:15
very chill. Was with my family, We had like a wood fire pizza
5:18
night, and yeah, it was a very wholesome summer weekend. And it
5:24
just got me so excited thinking about these next few weeks and months of summer.
5:28
And I really wanted to make an episode just about things that I'm really
5:31
hoping to do for the summer season. So this might be a two part
5:35
series. I have no idea how long this is going to be, but
5:38
maybe I'll be able to fit this all in one episode. So let's get
5:41
into it. Okay, So the first one is something that I kind of
5:43
already talked about, which I did this weekend, which was a sunset walk
5:46
date or a sunrise walk date. I love to see the sky at its
5:51
element. I don't know, does anyone else feel me on that. I
5:55
feel like when I see the sky looking so beautiful, there's some type of
5:58
endorphins that just like, like, I don't even know, it's just the
6:01
best feeling I feel like, and seeing the sunrise when you're walking or seeing
6:05
the sunset. I feel like it's so magical and being able to do that
6:09
with a friend or you know, with your partner, or even by yourself
6:13
putting on a podcast or listening to music. I feel like walking when the
6:17
sun is glowing is the best feeling and something that I'm striving to do weekly
6:23
this summer season. So whether it's during the sunset or during the sunrise,
6:27
I feel like that is the best time to go on a hawk Girl walk.
6:30
Another thing that I've been wanting to do in my backyard this summer season
6:33
is set up a garden. I know that sounds weird, but I feel
6:38
like growing your own herbs and vegetables. There's something so rewarding about that.
6:42
And also I would rather grow my own vegetables than buy them at the grocery
6:46
store. The prices are ridiculous at the grocery store right now, and b
6:50
just being able to grow fresh vegetables and know that there's nothing added to it
6:56
or any you know, chemicals or anything like that. It's completely clean and
7:00
fresh and literally grown in your backyard is so cool. My parents have been
7:05
doing gardening now for years and they have a whole garden setup, and I
7:10
just love whenever we're at their house, we have like fresh tomatoes and we
7:13
do that in a salad, or fresh cucumbers, fresh green beans, just
7:17
so many different herbs all that. So it's so rewarding. I feel like
7:23
to have that, and I've wanted it for so long, and I feel
7:25
like this year we can finally actually do that in our backyard. And now
7:28
that we have a fence and just yeah, we actually have a backyard.
7:31
Now, I'm hoping to get some sun beds and all that. That way
7:34
I can actually lay out in my backyard because I love my parents' backyard and
7:39
it's literally my safe place. But I want to have something here that way
7:43
during the work week, if I want to go outside and work and just
7:46
be in the sunshine when I'm doing in midwork, I feel like that is
7:49
key. Just being in the sun just gives me so much energy. It
7:53
gives me so much life. I feel like the sunshine plays a huge factor
7:57
in my mood and all that. So I found this sun bed off Walmart,
8:01
and I'm not gonna lie, guys, if I get it, I
8:03
will be sharing the shit out of it on social media because I found it
8:07
and I was like, this is so sick, it's so cute, it's
8:09
so affordable. So I will make sure to let you guys know whenever I
8:13
order it. I just need to make sure that it's not Walmart dot Com,
8:18
which is the States, because Walmart dot Com doesn't shift to Canada.
8:20
It's only Walmart dot CA. So I have to confirm if it's Canadian based
8:24
or American base. So let's cross our fingers that it's Canadian based. Because
8:28
I desperately want a little sunbed in my backyard. So anyways, gardening,
8:33
just being in the backyard, enjoying the sunshine, trying to work outside as
8:37
much as possible, all that is what I'm striving to do this summer season.
8:41
Another thing I really want to do is try out new in different restaurants
8:45
slash patios. I feel like Zach and I always like to go back to
8:48
our safe places, which is like our favorite spots, just we know what
8:52
we like on the menu. It's easy, we share favorite things whatever.
8:56
But I feel like there's a lot of new restaurants in Ottawa and new that
9:00
I've been dying to try. So I'm like, this is our time to
9:03
try new places, get out of Canada because that's where we live. We
9:07
live in Kannada Sitzil area, and I feel like we never really go downtown
9:11
or other parts of Ottawa just because finding parking and all that, Like there's
9:13
always an excuse. But I'm like, you know what, no excuses,
9:16
Like we actually need to get out of our comfort zone and try out different
9:20
spots, try out different restaurants. And yeah, I feel like I need
9:24
to be better at exploring Ottawa and trying new places. And I feel like
9:28
the summertime is the perfect time to do that. And just even if it's
9:31
just like stopping by a new place to get a drink somewhere on a patio
9:33
anything like that. There's so many cool patios downtown, like Tavern on the
9:37
Falls. I've been really wanting to go to that spot right by the Chateau
9:41
Laurier, just like really nice views and all that. So really look in
9:46
your area and find like the top restaurants that you've never been to. Like
9:48
I said, even if it's just going to grab a drink or anything like
9:52
that. Honestly, having a nice patio with a stellar view is like top
9:56
tier to have in the summertime. But yeah, just take a look Exployer
10:01
City. I think it's so important to Chinese spots out whenever you're in your
10:03
hometown. I always say this, but Ottawa honestly isn't like the best place
10:07
in the world, and I know that, but I do think there's opportunities
10:11
to try new places out and make it feel more fun, if that makes
10:15
sense. So I'm trying to make Outawa more fun for myself. So I'm
10:18
trying to try different places out and trying to enjoy my hometown. Another thing
10:24
is the farmer's market visits. Zach and I went this past weekend and we
10:28
got some fresh sour dough bread. They had some fresh vegetables, fresh meats,
10:33
flowers, all that dog treats like. So many different vendors were there
10:37
and just also supporting local businesses is one of my favorite things to do,
10:41
and it's so cool just to also discover new brands and all that. And
10:46
I love love going to farmers market. So we went to the carp One
10:48
this weekend. We usually go to that one just because it's close by,
10:50
and I also just love karp. I grew up close to that area,
10:54
so it's nice to be in that area for me. But definitely want to
10:58
try and hit up other farmers' market It's I know there's one on Landsdown that
11:01
I believe is every Saturday morning, so that's when I really want to try
11:05
and yeah, just other ones around the city and discover new brands again.
11:11
Getting fresh produce, fresh bread all that is always the best over getting it
11:16
at the grocery store. Another thing that I'm wanting more of this summer is
11:20
workout classes and smoothie dates with your bestie. I feel like booking a workout
11:24
class and then getting a smoothie after just catching up with your bestie is literally
11:28
the best way to start the day. I've been loving pilates classes, as
11:31
you guys know, so that's something new that I've been doing. And then
11:35
I love just going to a local place just to get a smoothie. One
11:37
of my favorite coffee shops it's called Honey in Stittsville. They also do amazing
11:41
smoothies and I love going there for post workout smoothies and just yeah, they
11:46
have a cute little patio so you can sit there and catch up with a
11:48
friend all that. It's, yeah, one of my favorite places to go
11:52
after a workout class. So Yeah, definitely gonna be doing more of that.
11:54
Another thing I've been wanting to join is a running club. There is
11:58
a running clas at spin Co, So if you're downtown spin Co or spin
12:03
Co and Canada, they do running clubs there and I've been really wanting to
12:07
join one. I did go running for the first time last week and I
12:09
got new shoes Hoka. You guys know Hoka. If you guys are runners,
12:13
you know the brand Hoka. They sent me a free pair of shoes.
12:18
Don't know how I got on their PR list. Don't even know how
12:20
they knew my size. Like it was a shock because I think I told
12:22
you guys that I ordered a pair of Hokahs like weeks ago, and then
12:28
when I got back from London, I say this massive PR box. I'm
12:30
like, what the heck, Like what brand sent me this massive PR box?
12:33
And then it was freaking' Hokah And I'm like, are you kidding me?
12:37
Like literally in shock. I actually had enough time to return the ones
12:41
that I bought, just because I was like, I'm not gonna own two
12:41
pairs of Hookahs. I don't need two. So I ended up returning the
12:45
pair that I bought and then I kept the ones that the Hokah team sent
12:48
me and my manager must have sent them my size because I have no idea
12:52
how I got them. But anyways, so far, so good. I've
12:56
only ran with them one, so I don't want to say, oh my
12:58
god, they're amazing. They're with the high. I still have to break
13:00
them in a bit because my foot was hurting a bit. But I also
13:03
haven't ran since last season and I didn't really break the shoes in, so
13:07
that's my bad. So I need to run a few times before I join
13:11
the run club, because yeah, I need a bit of training first.
13:16
I'm trying to break the shoes in and walk in them whenever I'm doing my
13:18
hawk Girl walks, and then I hope to get back into running next week.
13:22
I can't run this week just because I have a crazy week this week
13:26
and it's a short week. And I never told you guys this, but
13:28
I'm actually going to a work event tomorrow for my first brand trip ever,
13:33
I guess in Montreal. I'm going with an Espresso, so I'm very excited
13:37
about attending my first event with them and having just a little Canadian brand trip.
13:43
So yeah, I'm excited. It's just for honestly, one night and
13:46
just going for a cute little dinner there launching their new Mediterranean espresso line,
13:52
which I'm super excited about. So I'm going to meet a few other creators,
13:56
which I'm excited for as well. So anyways, long story short,
13:58
I didn't the time to fit a run in for my workout schedule this week,
14:03
but we will be back into it next week. But yeah, joining
14:05
a running club I think is also a great opportunity because it allows you to
14:09
mingle with friends, meet new people, and just yeah do something that you
14:13
guys all enjoy doing, which is running and getting a good workout in.
14:18
And yeah, I love meeting new people, I love socializing and being able
14:22
to do it with everybody is I don't know, it's just fun. I'm
14:24
excited for it. So yeah, if you have a running club nearby,
14:28
I would definitely recommend joining that. Also, as I said, if you're
14:31
looking to meet new friends or new people, I think it's a great opportunity
14:33
to do that. Another thing Zach and I always try to do in the
14:37
summer. I would say we've try and do this like once a month is
14:39
beach date nights. So we get pizza, we get a blanket, we
14:43
get a bottle of wine. We set up a little beach night date night
14:48
kind of thing, and it's so freaking romantic, Like it is one of
14:52
my favorite date nights that I have with Zach. We did three times last
14:56
summer. We went to a beach. We just did a little setup and
15:00
it's just, I don't know, it's so beautiful just to like see the
15:01
sunset, have some wine, catch up with your partner, eat your favorite
15:05
pizza. You guys know how much I love pizza too, So it's like
15:09
the perfect date night in my opinion, and it's something that I want to
15:13
continue doing. It's just like a little tradition for Zach and I. And
15:16
yeah, we're trying to actually incorporate this beach theme into our Ottawa wedding because
15:22
some of you may or may not know, I have to get married in
15:24
Ottawa first before I get married in Italy, so it's going to be very
15:30
low key. But yeah, just trying to do something here with Freddy as
15:33
well. We really want Freddy to be involved in the Autawa ceremony. So
15:37
yeah, just something that's very us and yeah, I'm excited for it.
15:41
Okay. Another thing that I love to do in the summer is go on
15:43
hikes. I feel like this is a great way to get your friends together,
15:46
great way to explore nature, get a workout in at the same time.
15:52
See beautiful views. There's a lot of really nice hiking trails here that
15:56
I feel like I never go to that I need to take advantage of.
16:00
We're even going to gat No goat Nos super close to Ottawa for those who
16:03
don't know, and it's just like an area in Quebec, but they have
16:07
really really nice hiking trails. There's one called Pink Lake and it's so beautiful.
16:11
I went years ago. I'm talking like probably high school or college.
16:15
I don't even remember, but it was so many years ago and it was
16:18
such a beautiful hike to do. So that's something that I really want to
16:22
do this summer. But grab your bestie, grab a group of friends,
16:26
make a group chat, let's get a hike date going. Make it maybe
16:30
a monthly thing where you guys all get together and you guys try different hikes.
16:33
I feel like that's a really fun way to explore your city but also
16:37
try something new. Speaking about something new, I always love to talk about
16:41
trying new hobbies out. You guys know how much I love trying different things,
16:45
and I think it's so so important. And one thing that I picked
16:47
up last year was Zach was pickleball. Love pickleball. It is so freaking
16:52
fun. I used to play tennis when I was a kid and just never
16:56
played again. To be honest, I don't know. I just there's nothing
16:59
wrong with tennis. I just kind of fell out of love with it.
17:02
But pickleball has been really fun, and I feel like that's something you could
17:06
do with a friend or your partner. And another thing I've been wanting to
17:10
take up this year. This is so random. I don't even know why
17:14
I want to do this. I feel like it's like my childhood that I
17:17
missed out on that I wanted to do so badly and I never did it.
17:21
Horseback riding, I don't know. I don't know why it's giving Miley
17:25
Stewart summer. I have this urge to get on a horse and ride.
17:27
It's not even like I want to become a horseback rider. I just want
17:30
to ride a horse once this summer. I don't know why I'm putting it
17:34
here in the podcast. I'm doing it. I really just want to ride
17:38
a horse once in my life. I've never done it, and I don't
17:41
know. I'm just like wanting to try it so badly. So maybe it
17:44
will become a hobby. Who knows, but I definitely want to do that
17:47
once this summer. That's just something I really want to do. And then
17:51
another thing I really want to get into is golfing. I golfed a few
17:53
times last year. Was Zach and some of my girlfriends and a lot of
17:57
my good friends on Golf Weekly. They have like a Monday night girls night,
18:02
and I haven't just had the chance to even go yet. It started
18:04
two weeks ago, so hopefully not this Monday, but the following Monday I
18:08
can get my ass there because I need to get into golfing. I think
18:14
it's such a fun sport. It's a nice way to socialize with people.
18:18
And obviously Zach is very into golf. I feel like a lot of girls'
18:22
boyfriends or fiances or husbands are very much into golf, So I feel like
18:26
that's something eventually I can do with Zach. I'm not good enough, honestly,
18:30
I suck, but we're getting there. We're practicing we're going to the
18:33
driving range and I do enjoy it, so yeah, that's something I'm hoping
18:37
to get into as well. But other ideas are tennis, as I said,
18:41
cycling, anything like that. Just trying something new, I think is
18:45
super crucial for this summer. As you guys know, twenty twenty four,
18:49
my goal was to be in my hosting era, so I'm hoping to host
18:53
more this summer. I really want to do an outdoor brunch, either in
18:56
my backyard or in my parents' backyard with all my friends. Another thing I
19:00
really want to do is host a Western backyard party. I don't know what's
19:04
up with the Western. I feel like Western has become super popular, as
19:07
anyone else felt that way, like cowboy boots, just cowboy hats, like
19:12
I don't know, I feel like everybody's wanting to live the Miley Stewart summer
19:15
life, and I'm here for it. I'm totally here for it. I
19:18
feel like I live in kind of a country city I would say, like
19:23
a lot of farms nearby all that, and I'm just craving that Western theme.
19:27
So I think a Western theme party in the summer would be so fun.
19:33
And that's something I really want to do. So yeah, I can't
19:36
wait till I actually have a big enough yard to host more. I feel
19:37
like my backyard's just like very small and like, I don't know. I
19:41
look at my parents' backyard and I'm like, Okay, this is the place
19:44
I want to be. This is where I want to host stuff, you
19:45
know. So hopefully in the next house, which hopefully will be in the
19:51
near future, we'll have a bigger backyard for Freddie and just for hosting and
19:55
all that. I just love my parents' backyards so much that I just want
19:59
something like that for myself. But yeah, I love hosting. So I
20:03
love being able to bring my friends together, my family together, and be
20:07
able to provide themes. It just makes it fun. I don't know.
20:10
I actually have to host a brunch for my batcherette girls because we are traveling
20:17
obviously for the Bauchrette and doing those goodie bags while traveling, Like I will
20:22
not be able to fit that all in my suitcase right before the wedding,
20:25
so I need to give it to the girls prior to traveling to the Bauchorette.
20:29
So we're gonna do a little brunch here. So I'm doing like a
20:32
European themed brunch with like croissants and fruit and all that, just to make
20:36
it on theme with the wedding, with it being in Europe and all that.
20:38
So I'm gonna do like a europe inspired breakfast and host something here at
20:42
my house. So yeah, I'm excited. But yeah, just hosting more
20:47
doing things out of your comfort zone. Hosting is such a fun thing to
20:49
do to bring people together, and adding themes to it just makes it so
20:52
much more fun. So think of fun themes that you could do this summer
20:56
and get together with your friends another thing I recommend doing. If you're the
21:00
kind of person that loves to do weekend getaways, this is your time to
21:04
do it. I feel like there's a lot of places that I've been dying
21:07
to go to, like Cape Cod, Namtucket, Hampton's, Like I have
21:11
been wanting to do a fun little getaway with my friends so badly, just
21:15
like a fun little beach cottage vibe, or even just a cottage weekend like
21:21
Muskoka or just any lakes nearby you renting an airbnb with your friends or going
21:25
with your family, or if you have a cottage and you're blessed to have
21:29
that opportunity where you get to go every weekend or every other weekend during the
21:33
summer. Being by the water during the summertime just is the best, the
21:38
best, Like I can't even explain. It is just such a so real
21:41
feeling. My best friend she has a cottage, and then Zach's family also
21:45
has a cottage. I don't go that often to his cottage, but as
21:48
I said, my best friend has a cottage, and well, both my
21:52
best friends actually have cottages, and then Zach's family does too, so I
21:56
kind of usually go to a cottage usually I would say three times within the
22:00
summertime, which I'm not complaining about. Having the opportunity to even go to
22:03
a cottage during the summer is awesome. I love it. I'm such a
22:07
cottage girl. Whenever I'm there, I feel like I'm a totally different person,
22:11
and I love it so much. Just like no makeup, you know,
22:15
boyfriends, sweaters and just chillin by a fire. I don't know,
22:18
it's just the best feelings. So love having a good cottage weekend in the
22:22
summer. And then as I said, just booking a weekend trip somewhere is
22:26
the vibes for Summer twenty twenty four. Of course, if you have the
22:29
luxury of doing a European summer, of course everybody would love that. I
22:33
think you definitely need to do that once in your life. I of course
22:37
am having my European summer with the wedding, but also I'm doing my honeymoon
22:41
somewhere there as well. So Europe is such a beautiful place if you've never
22:45
been, and I highly, highly highly recommend doing it once in your life
22:49
whenever you can save up as much money as you can. Europe there's so
22:53
many beautiful places there to just tackle. I still have not tackled everywhere.
22:59
I've definitely hit a lot of places throughout the years of doing it with Zach
23:03
and with my friends and my family, of course, But Europe is such
23:07
a special place and I will forever cherish the memories that I have there,
23:12
and I hope to continue traveling, you know, with my family one day
23:15
with my own kids, because I love Europe so much. So if you
23:19
have the luxury of doing a European summer, definitely recommend it. If not,
23:25
try it for next summer manifest it You guys know that it will happen
23:27
in your life. I'm telling you right now, if you manifest it,
23:30
it will happen. But I highly highly recommend it. Another fun idea to
23:33
do on the weekend with your friends is having a boat day. Finding someone
23:37
that has a boat I think is crucial because I don't think you want to
23:41
buy a boat for the summer. It's way too expensive. I think there
23:45
is companies that actually rent out boats that you could use on the lake.
23:48
But having a boat day, having some drinks, just chill in by the
23:52
water, I think that's a fun little thing to do for a little day
23:55
thing with your friends. Or if you love to jet ski, or if
23:57
you love to water is it wakeboard water board? I don't even know what
24:02
it's called, to be honest, I've actually never tried in my life tubing
24:04
anything like that. That's super fun to do in the summer. As I
24:07
said before, weekly ice cream runs. I think everybody should do this weekly.
24:11
I think this is like a non negotiable in the summer, Like,
24:14
why are you not getting ice cream during the week. It's summer, Get
24:15
ice cream, Get an ice cream cone, treat yourself. It's all about
24:18
balance. Anyways, I'm a chocolate ice cream girl for life and Zach is
24:23
lemon fruity boy, which I'm not. But anyways, he does his thing.
24:27
I do my. I never have his just because I do not like
24:30
fruit ice cream? Are you team fruit ice cream or team chocolate or anything
24:36
like cookie dough, chocolate brownie, chocolate, pecan caramel swirl like I am
24:41
that girl, anything with that tip of chocolate or Oreo cookie chunks or Eminem's
24:45
whatever smarties I will have. Zach will have lemon sorbet like what why is
24:51
it even an ice cream flavor? But anyways, weekly ice cream runs are
24:55
a non negotiable this summer. Another thing that I've been striving to do this
24:57
summer in my hometown. I kind of already touch on it, but kind
25:00
of being a tourist in my own city, so trying new restaurants out,
25:03
but also trying things that the tourists people would do here in Ottawa. I've
25:07
actually never done that in my life. Maybe as a kid when I was
25:11
like four or five, but I don't go to the parliament ever. We
25:15
have Dow's Lake that people usually like rollerblade or bike or run around. Never
25:18
done that in my life, So there's things that I definitely need to try
25:22
this summer in the Ottawa area. So think of things that you've actually never
25:26
done in your city and be a tourist. Do it. It's the summertime,
25:29
it's something fun to do, it's something to help you fall in love
25:32
with your hometown. So be a tourist in your own city this summer,
25:36
and I'm telling you right now, you will enjoy it. Another thing I
25:38
love to do is biking or rollerblading. I find that's a fun little activity
25:42
to do after dinner. That's something I actually used to do all the time
25:45
during COVID with my parents. We would eat and then we'd get on our
25:48
bike and we'd just bike around our area. So hopefully in Zach and I
25:52
can get back into that. I also love rollerblading. I haven't roller bladed
25:56
in such a long time, and I feel like that's a really good workout,
26:00
Like getting your roller blades on and going for a good hour rollerblade would
26:03
be like amazing. My only issue is that I would want to bring Freddy
26:07
and I don't know how that would go. I think he'd be freaking pooped.
26:11
I don't think we could do an hour. I think maybe we could
26:14
do a half hour because it'd be super fast for him. But yeah,
26:18
rollerblading is so fun. I feel like it's just like it brings out my
26:21
inner child. It's a fun little thing to do. Another thing I hope
26:23
to do is hit a few wineries. I love going on wine tours with
26:27
my girlfriends or with my friends. I think there's great opportunities to hit up
26:32
different wineries in your cities. I am not a big drinker, but I
26:36
feel like wineries are very different. It's not like the like some people go
26:40
for the point of getting drunk, but I feel like there's also the kind
26:41
of people that love to go just to try different wines out. I love
26:45
to do that, and then I love to like buy the bottle of wine
26:48
and bring it home after and then you know, Zach and I can enjoy
26:51
it for a dinner one night, or you know, just bring it to
26:55
an event or anything like that for people to try. But I love just
26:57
trying different kinds of wines and figuring out what one do I like, and
27:02
then I can buy the bottle and bring it home. So I find it's
27:04
just like a fun little thing to do with your friends or go on a
27:07
double date with your partner and your best friends. It's just a fun little
27:11
date idea. Another thing you should be doing this summer is maybe try out
27:15
a different hairstyle. Maybe go shorter, go longer, add some bags,
27:18
add some layers, maybe go lighter, go darker, whatever the case may
27:22
be. I find it's a fun opportunity to change up your look. If
27:26
you're thinking that you want to change something up, the summer season is the
27:30
perfect time to do it. I will not be doing that this summer because
27:34
of the wedding, but if it wasn't the wedding, I'd probably go a
27:37
bit shorter. I already did my lairs. I don't think I would be
27:40
doing the bob that is. I know some people are like, killing you'd
27:42
look so good with the bob, but I'm like no, I literally could
27:45
not cut my long hair. I love my long hair too much. It
27:47
is taking me too long, honestly to grow with this long So I really
27:49
don't think I could ever cut it that short. Maybe when i'm like deep
27:53
deep deep in my motherhood era, I will, but that is like like
27:59
fifteen to two years away, like in terms of like being older, and
28:02
yeah, a very different era in that time. But I just don't think
28:07
I could be a bob mom. I really don't, not until later in
28:10
life. But I love my long hair, as I said, I just
28:11
find it suits my face so much, so I love doing long layers again.
28:15
Maybe go a bit shorter, like right now, my hair is to
28:18
my belly button. I think the shortest I would ever go would be like
28:22
boob length, Like that would be the shortest, but it's still shorter.
28:26
Definitely shorter, and then maybe go lighter. I like my dark hair right
28:30
now. But you know, just changing something up is always fun, and
28:33
I think, as I said, the summertime is the perfect time to try
28:36
something new out. Another thing that you should be doing is fun nail colors.
28:41
I love taking advantage of a summer color palette, trying like yellow out,
28:45
trying peach tones, baby pinks, baby blues, light purple, all
28:51
that I feel like doing fun nail colors is perfect for the summer season.
28:55
My sister just got her nails done and she did this beautiful turquoise blue color.
29:00
I'm obsessed with them and I'm like wanting to do it so badly.
29:03
But anyways, such fun colors, and I think the summertime allows you to
29:07
kind of get out of your comfort zone and be a bit more fun,
29:10
try new colors, and yeah, okay, I have a few summer recipes,
29:15
but I think I'm going to save this for the next episode and do
29:17
more summer recipes and routines and summer favorites when it comes to like clothing brands,
29:23
