This is a list of things and stuff that make summer better in my opinion… if you partake in any of the following you will experience the epitome of summer bliss. .. and all your dreams will come true.
1) A new fridge magnet set… nothing gets you in the mood for summer like a new fridge magnet set… it sets the course for change and newness as the front of your fridge takes on a different tone, so invest in something that makes you laugh or makes you cry… for me I just bought a set of men crying (I don’t know what that means really…).
2) Organic Waffles with real whip cream and organic mangos… seriously, it’s summer in your mouth.
3) Banana Shampoo… also important, this will make you smell like magic folks. And you can’t be down when your hair smells like bananas, it’s impossible… no bummer when you smell like summer… yeah.
4) Mix CD, for me… Sara Curdie is my summer music guru. Its tradition three years in a row… this years mix is already setting the stage for summer road trip goodness . 2010 album includes a splash of Dave Matthews, Phil Collins… and various other artists that are not your typical mainstream folk but know how to sing you into summer. Also, soundtrack for “500 days of summer” is a high recommendation to put you in summer mode.
5) Nothing says good summer morning like a good cup of JAVA!!!!!! So do it right with some fair trade organic stuff… or if you’re hitting up a joint I recommend Phil & Sebastian here in Calgary… best coffee in town. If you’re not a coffee junkie, I recommend Mate Tea… equally as good!
6) Bare Feet. Lingering in the grass of your front lawn… as the strokes of sun and the fresh laden dew from the summer night kiss your feet… That’s right! Bam. Bare feet will bring you instant summer bliss, don’t ask, just do.
7) New bathing suit… I just invested in a sweet one-piece ladies! Modest is hottest, and I am loving the new 60’s vibe that is in this summer. If were honest, I’m not knocking bikinis actually because they still rock but if you want to change it up this is a good option! And for the men… I heard crochet knit surf shorts are in…
8) HIKES!!!!!!! AND CAMPING!!!!! AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE…. Along with sweet day trips to the lake for a paddle board or sun tan seshes, BBQ’s and campfire jams. All good options… were in Canada, we need to soak up every ounce of vitamin D as possible…
9) Annual Mud fight… this can be anywhere anytime, but it must happen at least once per annum… this is important for your mental health…
* Please note: this is imperative, analysts say that with the ozone layer being in the condition that it currently is in, summer of 2010 if people don’t have a mud fight they can pretty much kiss their high brain cell count goodbye…. Spread the news people, this is important.
10) Last but most definitely not least… Gelato. Amatto Gelato is first on my list in this department… locally owned and favorite gelato joint by far. Located on Kensington road right by crowchild… this will change your life.
Happy Summer Friends!
