Summerfield Farms
Have you got summer plans yet? Well, if you're like me, then as much as I want to get out of town this summer, I'm not fully *there* when it comes to all the travel hustle and bustle just yet. We do have some beach plans ahead, but for the most part, we're still going to keep to our low-key life. If you are in the Greensboro area of North Carolina and want a change of scenery, then I highly recommend visiting Summerfield Farms. Day trip it and see all their cute farm animals, eat from one of their many booked food trucks, or visit the Market for goodies to take home. Need a night or two away? Then book one of their posh cottages or bungalows that are quaint and relaxing. The Farm always has fun and inviting activities scheduled: from family movie night to siping drinks from the 'Well Truck' and listening to live music on their rooftop silos.

Books to read
Never known a summer to go by without a good book to read while lounging poolside or seated back with toes in the sand. If you haven't noticed by now, I'm quite the Amazon shopper (aren't we all, tho?) and while doing my usual cruise thru on the sight, I came across my latest read, The Book of Lymph by Lisa Levitt Gainsley, CLT. As I am a Pilates Instructor and teach rebounder fitness for a living, and both modalities are epically good for the lymphatic system, I saw this book and into the shopping cart, it went! This book is truly a great read that dives into the power and science of the body's lymph system and shares self-care practices to enhance immunity, health, and beauty. I think we can ALL agree that after this past year and a half, we've been put on *notice* of just how important it is to take care of ourselves. This book was so interesting and one that I will keep within an easy reach to quickly grab for a quick reminder or reference.

Drinks to sip
Summer just isn't summer if you don't have an ice-cold and pretty cocktail or mocktail to come home to after a fun day in the sun. Freshly pressed berries and herbs mixed with a favorite spirit, (or not!) and something sparkling and bubbly with a copper-toned metal straw will do just the trick. Currently, I am loving a 'blackberry gin fizz' cocktail that can easily be made into a virgin. Everything fresh and pressed, add in lime, and 'she's in the glow'!
