Along with a third birthday, summer is here! Yaaaay! Summer is my second favorite season [a close 2nd to spring] for many reasons:

One: I love warm weather. {It’s the southern Cali and African in me, boo.} I’ll take a hot beach over snowy mountaintops any day.

Two: I can be pretty much be naked all the time. I love a onesie or sundress or shorts and a tank to keep me cool in the dog days of summer. Plus I can skip the whole bra thing half the time. Heaven!

Three: Festivals! Spring and summer boast the most festivals, so that means being outdoors, lots of music, food and local art[ists] to appreciate.

Four: More fruits are in season. I live for melons, y’all. I trade out morning pancakes for a big bowl of nature’s candy all season.

Five: Beach days and pool parties and barbecues! I’m sure you read my post about body shaming a few weeks back so you know, regardless of your body type, you are ready for the parties and beach days summer hosts. An article on blackgirllonghair.com boasted 25 Black-owned swimwear brands to shop. Twenty-five, y’all! I didn’t know there were even that many! Give them your dollars if you don’t have a suit yet; they each have some really sexy, unique pieces.

Happy summer! Make it sweet!
