summer: from annika

One of my favorite summer memories is going to the beach with my friends. It reminded me how essential it is to embrace those spontaneous moments—-especially when the weather is warm. This is the time to do what you’ve always wanted—embrace the thrill of exploration, try something new, and create lasting memories with those you love.

Speaking of adventures, summer also provides the perfect backdrop for reconnecting with friends. Life gets busy, and sometimes we forget to prioritize our relationships. Have you been eyeing that stack of books you didn’t have time to read during the school year? Summer is your opportunity! Summer is also a time to dream big and pursue your passions. This summer, I took a yoga class I’d been wanting to try for ages. Enroll in a workshop, join a local club, or simply dedicate some time to your craft. Engaging in activities you love can ignite your creativity and bring a sense of fulfillment to your summer days.

Of course, amidst all the fun and adventure, don’t forget to carve out time for rest and self-care. Summer should be a balance of excitement and relaxation. I cherish those lazy afternoons when I can just lie on a blanket, soaking in the sun, and let my mind wander. Allow yourself to take those moments where you do nothing at all—no pressure, just peace. Sometimes, simply being still can be the most rejuvenating experience.

As summer rolls in, let the season be your canvas. Paint it with adventures, laughter, and moments that make your heart sing. Step outside your comfort zone, embrace spontaneity, and cherish the time spent with friends. Whether you’re reading that book you’ve been longing to crack open or indulging in a new passion, make this summer a celebration of life, joy, and connection. Enjoy your summer (and don’t forget to shop our newest collection)!

Love,
