Summer Bones... A guest post by Lacey

Hey all you Brown Eyed Belle lovers! It's Lacey, from Lacey in Love! I'm taking the reigns for the day for our girl Julie while she soaks up the sun on her summer vacay!
Is anyone else super jealous of her right now? I just came back from vacation & am missing the beach like you wouldn't believe. But I'm jealous for another reason as well... let me fill you in.
Did y'all know that Julie is a school counselor? Do you know what working at a school means?
It means you get a bonafied Summer vacation. As in 2 1/2 months of relaxation!
Remember that feeling? You're 12 years old, the last week of school rolls around & you can almost feel summer in your bones.


Julie gets to feel summer in her bones & I've got to tell you... that makes me giddy for her.
[well... she's taking some classes still, so it's a little less exciting, but ONE DAY she will get the full effect again!]
The only way I can tell it's Summer is by the heat that smacks me across the face when I walk outside[i live in new orleans, y'all... the heat and humidity literally knock you upside the head] & by the sudden influx of obnoxious teenagers at the mall.
Like many of you, I wake up every morning and do the same thing whether it's the middle of December or the beginning of July.
This year, in an effort to feel the Summer in my bones, I'm taking these few steps!
Wear the sunshine:

Even if you're sitting behind a desk, you can make it a sunshiny day by wearing pops of yellow & orange!

Accessorize:

Accessorizing for Summer doesn't necessarily mean wearing seashells around your neck. I'm no mermaid! I love nautical & indian inspired pieces for summer!
headband/sandals/necklace
Pamper yourself beach style:

Coconut body wash takes the place of tanning oil, hair product takes the place of salt water formed beachy waves, coral polish takes the place of a fruity drink in your hand & tan in a can takes the place of the sun on your face!

Ahh, see? Instant happiness!
Here's hoping your bones are feeling the summertime :)


Thanks for letting me play with you over here at Brown Eyed Belle today! If you want to say hello, you can always find me here... or in Julie's comment box :)
