I used to hate the heat and, frankly, I still kinda do. But it’s so nice to have your body completely engulfed in warm air. I’ve been trying to run every morning. I really despise running. Except, I love the feeling of ending a long run. Unfortunately, running when it’s 95 degrees out is awful. Fortunately, there’s a great breeze that comes off the bay when I run down Bayshore.
I normally do a little cool down walk before coming inside the house. My routine is to change out of my workout clothes and slip into a light dress (or robe) to cool off and slice a large grapefruit.
Citrus just tastes that much better in the summer.
Inspired by summer (and not painting as much when I’m at school) and by my morning citrus ritual, I decided to paint some citrus!!!
I seriously need to get some water colors now. One would think, with the amount we paint, that we would have some. Alas, we don't. Do you have a favorite brand?
These are gorgeous Carly, love love love the "fresh" one!!
Taken on a much sunnier day ☀️🕶️ I used to think I could live somewhere gloomy and rainy, but… after this bout of clouds, downpours, and overall gloom, I’m realizing I wouldn’t last a week. #tuckernucking
I was so excited that @MyMyrtleBeach invited me to come play pickleball with them! I am obsessed with pickleball and had a blast playing at City Pickle, right here in NYC. We brushed up on the rules, practiced some dinking, and got to play a few rounds of the game– it was the perfect way to spend the day because everyone plays at the beach! #ad
I loved watching The Parent Trap growing up and still do to this day. It is one of my go-to comfort movies… There’s so much I love about it: the cast, the soundtrack, and (of course!) the wardrobe. We all have a little Annie James and a little Hallie Parker in us! I’ve always been drawn to Annie’s style, but love the carefree nature of Hallie’s. #parenttrap @nmeyers #tuckernucking

Wearing vs styling an outfit with a bump! I feel so much better when I’m wearing something cute (dress well to feel well maybe?)… I’ve been fighting the temptation to wear comfy clothes while pregnant though! So far I have found blazers and cardigans an easy way to dress up my second trimester bump, especially as we enter fall.
Apple picking throughout the years 🍎 I can’t wait to go this year. It’s one of my favorite fall activities to do… I don’t even care that it’s usually expensive and crowded and basic, I live for it!
I love these paintings!

Oh man, this is making me crave watermelon. I live for watermelon in the summer.
