4 Simple Tips To Refresh Your Summer

This post was written in partnership with Mirum. All thoughts and opinion are my own.

We are in the middle of my favorite season, Summer and I just love all the fun activities and things to do. But, I know it’s easy to get stuck in a rut and feel left out if your bored with your summer bucket list. I love being able to mix up things in the summer and get out of my normal routine. For example, even swapping out your spring scents for summer scents can go a long way. Over the years, I’ve discovered a few tips to refresh my summer without breaking the bank or putting in a ton of effort:

Wear Bright Colors

Changing out a few pieces in your wardrobe can really help you feel more in the summer spirit. The first thing I like to do is refresh my summer wardrobe and ditch all of the dark colors. I like my summer wardrobe to include light and airy pieces with fun pops of color or floral prints. My favorite colors for summer are pink, royal blue, and white. White is an absolute must in the summer!

Refresh With Caress

Like I mentioned above, a great way to refresh for summer is to change up your scents! I love having a different collection of fragrances for different seasons. Brooke also may love playing with them and trying to steal them! The new Caress at H-E-B from H-E-B are perfect for the summer. Their out-of-the-shower fresh scent is perfect for any time of day. My favorites are Sweet Violet and Pink Peony but I love mixing the scents too for a unique scent.

Grab A Fun Drink

I don’t know about you, but I love having a refreshing drink in my hand during the summer. Its so fun to head to your favorite drink stop and create something special. I love limeades and fresh strawberries a lot in summer. You can even hit up a fun snow-cone stand for a refreshing drink.

Mix Up Your Playlist

Yes, its time to think bright outfit on, smelling amazing with Caress Botanical Body Spray, a fun drink in your hand and now an amazing playlist! The fun part, you don’t even have to do any work – now with Caress Pandora playlists, you can amplify any state of mind and embrace each notes as it hits you.

Be sure to pick up Caress at H-E-B and get down with the freshness this summer! Its time to refresh your summer for some fun. Do you have any fun plans this summer?

  • Super excited to watch Brooke step onto the stage for her first dance recital 💃🏽✨

She decided to try something completely new and joined a hip hop class this year!

Definitely outside of her comfort zone — and I couldn’t be more proud of her for sticking with it, growing in confidence, and having fun along the way.

Can’t wait to cheer on our girl today for two performances! 🎤🪩

  • ✏️✨ Stop stressing about a last minute teacher appreciation gift - this cute one will arrive before the end of the week!

🙌🏻 COMMENT “shop” for the links.

I threw together the easiest teacher gift idea and it turned out so cute— a key fob🔑, hand sanitizer with a holder, a gift card (because we always need coffee ☕️), and a printable tag to tie it all together.

💕or save this for an end of year teacher gift because you will need one again.

 + send to a mom who forgot teacher appreciation week too 😂

  • #ad #HERDEZBrandPartner This might be my new favorite way to do dinner lately (especially when hosting!) 🙌🏼

I grabbed the new HERDEZ® Pollo Asado Marinade Mild from the salsa aisle at Walmart and it made this whole meal SO easy. Just marinate, cook, and you’ve got the most flavorful chicken ready in 30 minutes 👏🏼

I turned it into a simple charcuterie-style board with rice, beans, corn, avocado, chips + salsa so everyone could build their own rice bowls—and it ended up being one of those dinners where we actually all sat and enjoyed it together (you know those don’t happen every night 😂).

It’s bold, foolproof, and perfect for chicken, steak, or whatever you have on hand. Real Mexican flavor made simple!

  • The Run for the Rosé Derby party at @guardandgracehouston last night was so fun! 🌺

Not to mention all the fun Derby outfits! 👒🐎
