June hyperfixations , Cool things I’m loving , perfume wishlist , July ins and outs , what's in my watchlist and more
Hello lovelies, hope everyone is doing well and happy July!
I’ve always loved July and August. For me, summer really begins in July and lasts until the start of September, right before the fall semester begins. In June I didn’t even go to the ocean because in my mind real summer starts in July. It gets super hot where I live, It feels like it’s sunny all year long.
I have this love-hate relationship with summer . Sometimes the heat is just too much sunscreen melts, my hair gets frizzy and puffy from the salt water and chlorine, and I feel like I’m constantly spraying thermal water and drinking tons of water. But at the same time, summer is when I feel the most me.
Every summer, I rebrand myself. I grow, I learn new things, I start new projects, I meet my long-distance besties, I watch all the movies from my wishlist, I explore hidden gems in my city . I love the sun-kissed skin, the natural blush from the sun, the berry-stained lips from my lip tint, and the tan (not too much though). I adore the smell of monoi oil, coconut, and sunscreen on my skin, eating fresh mangos, trying new gelato flavors, reading books by the pool or sea, and walking barefoot in the sand like a little mermaid. I love my little sundresses, that feeling after a long beach day when you shower, get dressed up, and go out for dinner .
Last year, I was obsessed with Irresistible by Givenchy it’s this gorgeous pear scent that reminded me of my happiest seaside memories. I’d let my hair dry naturally into waves,minimal makeuplook, and just feel so alive and happy .I remember watching lots of random rom-coms too. I was always the late girl at everything late to breakfast, late to the beach. I’d wake up around 10 AM, my family already swimming, I’d eat a croissant with peach jam, put on sunscreen (too much lol), pack my little crochet bag, and head out.
Before leaving, I’d always peek out from the balcony to see if the guy I liked had woken up he was even lazier than me hehe. I miss his hazel eyes . Anyway that’s what I love about summer. You just read a little diary from my past summers.

Also, a quick note about the content: I’ve decided to pause the weekly "media recs" I used to post . I noticed only a few people really engaged with those, I’ve decided to turn that into a paid series instead.
