I adore the sun, but the heat that it brings, not so much. Summers are way too short in the midwest, so I try to chill in the sun whenever I can. Much of the country is melting from heat right now. If you are, consider this your chance to chill. Think watermelon cocktails, fun floats, after sun soap and more cool ideas.
Watermelon Tap
Have you ever carved a watermelon into a basket? I did once, and never again. Why bother when you can turn a hollowed out and halved watermelon into the world's coolest drink dispenser. It's perfect for cool cocktails on tap.

Maeve Tropical Wrap Caftan

After The Sun Soap
The sun is so very good for us if you protect yourself with a mineral sunscreen. On the off chance (it happens to all of us) that you got too much sun, use this goats milk soap. " Its' special formula of clay, aloe and goat milk help moisturize skin while preventing peeling and dryness. The lavender scent leaves you feeling relaxed and refreshed."
