Hey Friends! It’s been a while since I’ve recapped what’s been going on in my life lately. In short, I’ve had nothing but an AMAZING summer so far & hope you all are enjoying yours too! Once the weather finally started to cooperate, things went upward & onward.

Here’s what I’ve been doing/shopping/eating/exploring/creating these days:

…

I was a guest interviewed on my first podcast this week; sharing valuable lessons I’ve learned as an Influencer, as well as the challenges I face on a daily basis in order to pursue this lifestyle as a full-time career. Check out my episode on The Business Blast Podcast (also available on iTunes.)

My friend Brittany introduced me to the Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew at Starbucks & I’m OBSESSED! Has anyone else tried it!? Ps, do you think they’ll really end up going strawless by the end of this year?

As much as I love the summer season, I hate what it does to my skin! Thankfully I’ve found some great topical products that help brighten & balance my dark spots from sun damage,  as well as hydrate, protect, and defend my skin against further premature aging!

Two weeks ago, I celebrated my birthday dinner at Vandal – HIGHLY recommend going! Unbelievable food with a very diet-friendly menu (vegetarian, gluten &/or dairy-free, etc.) and super accommodating with groups – I had a party of 12 at a round table, which was so perfect & inclusive. *Best to make a reservation a few weeks in advance for large groups.

I just got these pompom slipper mules & can’t stop wearing them. Even though everyone’s pushing “Fall Pieces” already, I’m mentally not going to be done dressing for summer until early October. Also loving these pairs here & here of the same style. *Recommend sizing up 1/2 – I’m almost always a US 8 and the 8.5 fits me perfectly in length & width as Soludos tend to run narrow.

I made it my mission this summer to improve my tennis game. Back in the day (before my riding career took over) I was always taking lessons & participating in all-day summer tennis camps. I decided to take it back up & so thrilled to see my foundation is still in-tact! I absolutely love playing now as an adult. The club I belong to REQUIRES all whites to be worn on the court; Thankfully, Amazon Prime made it super easy to get the proper attire I needed in order to play – here are some of my fave finds:

At last, I’m FINALLY going to see Dave Matthews LIVE tonight! Every opportunity to see him in the past was always overruled by a horse show; I really thought until now that I lost my chance to see him perform. TG FOR MIRACLES, AM I RIGHT!?
