poolside essentials.

Hello friends,

Now that it’s officially beach/pool/water weather… I am soaking up all the sun before my highly anticipated summer vacations! In the meantime, you can find me posted next to the pool.

I’ve put together a few of my poolside favorite essentials for the summer. Here they are:

  1. Books: I have always been a bookworm, but adult-ing makes it hard to squeeze in time to read books. I am trying my best to add that to my life, as I know I feel so much more accomplished finishing a book than I do a tv show 🙂

    I was sent the new book, Oola For Women, which will be released this Monday, May 2nd! This book is super motivational and applicable to all women, and looks at 7 key areas to help you better your life: Fitness, Finance, Family, Field, Faith, Friends, & Fun. I love how each chapter focuses on a key area and is written in an easy-to-read style. It’s also filled with lots of #girlboss quotes to help you step it up no matter where you are in your journey of life. You can find it on Amazon as well as here.

  2. Floaties: Okay..how fun are all the different shaped floats that have been coming out this season? I don’t know about you..but kids these days have the coolest inflatables!

    I am SO obsessed with this pizza floatie! I’m pretty sure we just had normal ring ones when I was a kid. Just because I am now a…biggER kid.. does not mean I will miss out on this fun-ness! Give me all the food-shaped floaties please and thank you!

  3. Sunscreen: SPF umm..100? 🙂 Skin care is so important no matter the time of the year. Protect yoself!

be adventurous.

Hello loves!

With the first month of the year down, I’m currently scratching my head wondering where time has gone! With 11 months to go, I wonder where that time will lead us. 


Planning out trips to new places as well as just exploring your own city is what I want to continue doing more of this year. 

Of course, that requires the perfect essentials. My current pair of favorite shoes are these made by a brand for adventurers. [use: itslenatime for 20% off]

I just love their quote: “For those who know you can’t see the world from the seat of a bus, berth of the train, the railings of a boat or the porthole of a plane, these shoes are made for you.”

These truly are the most comfortable shoes I own and I love how casual but cute they are! And true to their theme.. I better be off on a trip soon to live out their calling. 


Til next time…

Xoxo,
