Post - Her State of Mind

Summer is my all-time favorite season. I’m sure this can be traced back to memories of getting out of school and savoring that oh-so-blissful feeling of complete freedom for three whole months.

Even though I now have a full-time career and consequently no summer break, June, July and August still have my heart. Warm sun, leather sandals, breezy dresses, tanned skin, beach days – all things that make me happy.

Now that summer is in full swing, I thought I’d share some of the things I’d like to tackle in the next few months. From channeling my inner Picasso, to taking a quick trip down south, here’s my official 2018 summer bucket list:

Get some use out of my much neglected road bike.
Check out what’s new at the MOMA
Tackle my wardrobe and figure out which pieces I want to give away or sell. For tips on selling your clothes, check out this post here.
Sign up for another Wine and Canvas class and attempt to paint something halfway decent.
Plan a beach trip and roast marshmallows on a bonfire with all my friends.
Throw a housewarming party.
Fly a kite.
Take a short trip to San Diego, home of my alma mater, and feast on fish tacos every damn day.
Enjoy a guilt-free mid-afternoon nap.
Go to a Giant’s baseball game and do nothing but stuff my face with garlic fries and sip on some cold beer.
Play hooky and explore a new San Francisco neighborhood on a weekday.
Drive down to Point Reyes and indulge in some delicious oysters topped with a spritz of lemon juice and a splash of tabasco sauce.
Spend a weekend in Calistoga playing bocce ball and consuming copious amounts of wine.
Plan a girls’ night out and spend 80% of the evening at home, picking out an outfit, playing with makeup, sipping on Moscow Mules and dancing around to old-school Taylor Swift with my best gal pals.

Well, there you have it! I’ll be lucky if I make it through half of these, but at least they’re now documented. What’s on your summer bucket list?
