Thank you to my dear lovely friend,Tina, for inviting me over to share what I think would be a perfect summer day! This was great fun for me! ?Happy Summer everyone! XO, Desiree

My perfect summer day would start at this time of the morning (or afternoon)…..My perfect summer day would begin at 7:30 AM. At this time of the day everyone in my house is still sleeping and I can have a few minutes of peace and quite while I start brewing my morning cup of coffee…



The bedroom I wake up in would look something like this……






And my bathroom like this…….




A favorite beauty product I love to use during the summer……..
Spice Island bronzer from Lancome…While making sure not to get sun on my face,?I do love getting a little sun on my body?and this bronzer matches my darker summer skin tone perfectly.







And this is an ideal summer outfit that you might find me frolicking in……I love the look of these simple, chic?dresses?with flat sandals.






My view from my bedroom in the summer looks like this……






And of course this perfect summer day is located in………..the coast of California







For breakfast I would indulge in……..coffee and and something citrusy.







After I am showered, fed and?revved?up to start my day, I will…….take a dip in the pool





& read a great love story…






For lunch this is my absolute favorite summertime meal……fresh avocado salad







An afternoon snack might comprise of……..a savory strawberry icecream cone





My afternoon activity would be………going for a short 3-4 mile run along the beach (remember I just ate that huge icecream cone)







The ideal summer drink is…….a delicious pink grapefruit margarita





This is what would be served for my ideal summer dinner……grilled shrimp and rice…yummmm






And where I eat it might look like this…………….





A perfect summer ending to a perfect summer day would end……….with a bonfire





The best part of my summer day is………..taking the time to relax and enjoying the precious gift of having a great day






OK I don’t know about you, but I am seriously craving that avocado salad, that grapefruit drink, ?want to take a dip in that pool and heck I will even join her in that run ?if it means getting to indulge in such a fantasy of a day! That view from “her” bedroom would hypnotize me every time…unreal!!
