The flowers are blooming and so is your social calendar! Warmer days mean that school is out, vacation planning is in full swing and those warm-weather workouts are on the rise. But if you’re not buzzing about the jam-packed schedule, longer days are the perfect time to reset, recharge and indulge in some self care. If you’re looking for a summer refresh, pencil in some “me time” and keep scrolling for some self-centered goodness!

unplug

In today’s world we all spend more time on our phones than we should. From online shopping to compulsive email-checking, our screen time is likely longer than we’d like to admit. With so much time tethered to technology, you may want to consider cutting the cord. No, I don’t mean destroy your phone charger, I’m talking about unplugging as a form of self-care. I get it! My phone is my alarm clock, fitness tracker and link to social media but unplugging can be therapeutic in so many ways. Take a day (or even a few hours) to turn off those notifications, spend time with family or friends or indulge in one of the ideas below!

have an at-home spa day

Summer is the perfect time to indulge in a spa treatment or oceanfront massage but, maybe your plans haven’t quite unlocked this level of luxury. That’s okay, me either! If you’re dreaming of an immersive and rejuvenating experience but don’t have anything booked, look no further than your own home! The internet is buzzing with face mask recipes, body scrubs and relaxing playlists. I vote for all of the above! Set the mood with your favorite candle and pour a glass of cold cucumber water (don’t forget to save two slices for those tired eyes)!

watch the sunset

There’s nothing quite like a sunset. From beach to mountaintop, there are endless places to sit back and enjoy the view. Make it a luxurious experience by crafting your favorite cocktail or sip on a Loleono-original like our Flirtini! Science says that watching the sunset helps to relax our nervous system so get out there, sip back and wind down with the sun!

plan out your week

Summer days can feel overwhelming: the days are long, the sun is hot and the to-dos seem never ending. Having a plan is key to success. Treat yourself to a fun new planner like this one from Papier and scribble away. Don’t forget to pencil in your self-care time!

have a sweet treat

There’s no better way to beat the heat than a summer treat! Ice cream, fresh fruit and refreshing desserts are one of the sweetest parts of summertime. Want to taste the island without a plane ticket? Transport your taste buds with our Loleono Mai Tai Cake or divide the batter into a muffin pan for some summer-approved cupcakes. If you eat them all, your secret is safe with me!
