Summer loves

I love summer. Instead of always posting pictures of myself doing silly things ( I admit it!), I've been wanting to post on the things I've been loving this summer. Anything from what I love eating, to what I carry in my purse, what I watch, etc. Summer is not over yet, so if any of these things inspire you, give them a shot!

Corn on the Cob: Taryn taught me how to make it, (tough I know right?) and now I'm hooked. I can just taste it now - my mouth is watering. Plus, sweet Ben now thinks I'm a Gourmet.

Did I catch on to this fad late? It's one of the best inventions of the decade. Practically perfect in every way.


I really like this magazine. Funky, fresh, lots of how-to and ecclectic ideas for creative minds. Confession: I love Martha's magazines. I guess this would be the Martha version of "Domino" (but less emphasis on selling products and more on "how-tos"). I also love Living magazine. It's a classic, even if you only get into 15 pages of the entire mag.

Who doesn't love otter pops? And just because you don't have kids doesn't mean you can't enjoy them ALL summer long. I bought a large box a few months ago that I think will last well into fall. The grown-up way to eat them is eat two instead of one. Quiz: can you name all the flavors??

My sister Tessa introduced me to this - Cover Girl Volume Exact mascara. It has a cool silicone wand and goes on just how I like it. Mascara is a personal choice - but my motto is go big or go home. At $7 everyone should try it.

Geraniums. For now, my yard is a balcony. I put red geraniums in railing planters and have loved watching them grow outside. Love the punch of red color and the almost more interesting leaves. Easy to care for and can last all year if moved inside during cold winter months. love them.


Borderline obsessed? Maybe. I've loved her show "Divine Design" for years, and discovered her book this summer. I'm adding this to my library of reference books. I think she's pretty great.

  1. See this is why I love it when you blog, I wish you would do it more often!

    I too love otter pops. {my} Ben and I are big fans of popsicles- who needs kids around to enjoy?!

    Love Candice- after you finish school you should try out for Design Star on HGTV and then you can have your own design show and then I will buy a book written by you on design!

    I am dying that {your} Ben thinks cooking corn is gourmet- you guys are silly mushes!

    And what is Redbox? I am clueless?

  2. Is Redbox like Netflix? We are avid Netflix fans- have had it for about two years now and swear by it. I love getting dvds mailed to me!
