Smells Like Summer

(Created this using the A Beautiful Mess app! Check it out!)

Summer is in the air, and you can smell it. I was outside the other day and I thought about how summer really does have a distinct scent to it, which my brain connects to different activities and moments of the past. It smells like late night swims, car rides with the windows down and the music up, baseball games, and freedom. 

With summer coming very close and up-in-the-air plans my friends and I have been making, the possibilities seem endless. I can't wait for them to come visit me and my new life, and I also can't wait to visit them. I also am really excited about exploring Nashville more! Lately, I've been journaling a lot of ideas of things I want to do this summer and I thought I'd share a few.

1. Go on an all-out picnic with friends - homemade soda, dainty sandwiches, basket, and all.

2. Dye a strip or a few of my hair in a bold color.

3. Ride a tandem bike with one of my best friends.

4. Try my first popsicle at Hot 'n' Cold!

5 .Get henna professionally done.

6. Make sun tea.

7. Get some film for my polaroid camera and snap away!

8. Go to as many outdoor music concerts as possible.

9. Go on one road trip to somewhere new.

10. Make more flower crowns. 

11. Go kite flying. 

12. Attend one of the outdoor movie nights in Centennial Park. 

13. Visit a farmer's market for the first time.

14. Do at least 20 minutes of cardio every day... jogging, walking, biking.. or 45 minutes of Zumba because, c'mon, that's really fun. I'd like to get more involved in yoga as well.

15. Finally open my own Etsy shop and sell my creations.

So, yes, I am very excited for this summer. What are your goals and plans?
