My Search for Camping Gear for Summer 2026- How the Search is Going and Changes in Plans

Earlier this year, I wrote two posts about my search for and desire to buy camping gear, specifically camping chairs and a tent or canopy. Since I wrote those posts, the time I consider the peak summer time period (Late May through mid July) has passed. Because time has passed since I wrote those posts, I want to write an update post about my search for camping gear.

Bath and Body Works Fireworks Pop Shower Gel and Fine Fragrance Review

The 4th of July is next week. For me, this time of the year means I’m usually staying inside to escape the heat of summer! Even though I normally stay inside whenever possible, I still try to celebrate the holiday and summer in general no matter  if I’m inside or not.

One of the ways I tried to celebrate the 4th of July is by using certain beauty and self care products. I isn’t much, but it is something I notice and enjoy. One of my favorite beauty product to use for this reason is Bath and Body Works’ Fireworks Pop Shower Gel. I noticed I never publish a review post about the shower gel, so I decided to write a review post about one of my favorite beauty products for summer. I will also talk about the fine fragrance version of it.

5 Reasons I Love (and 5 Reasons Why Hate) This Month in Arizona- July

It’s finally July here in Arizona! It is the time of the year when, like the rest of the country, we celebrate the 4th of July, eat plenty of ice cream, and enjoy so many other luxuries that make summertime so enjoyable. Since I live in Arizona, I also have found some major downsides that come along with this month. (One of them being the heat and the monsoon storm season!)

Continuing my post series of why I love and hate all the months in Arizona, I found many things I don’t like about July. What surprised me was all the reasons why I love this month as well! I honestly thought I would struggle to find reasons why I love this month, but it came pretty easily.

Here are the previous posts in this series…

6 Favorite Summer Fragrances for 2024

The summer months are some of the hottest months of the year. For many fragrance lovers, this means changing their fragrances to accommodate the warmer temperatures. These temperatures can change how a fragrance smells on a person’s skin, so it is important to take into consideration.

For summer 2024, I realized I really love the way the fragrances I already own work for the summer time. I wanted to share six of my favorite fragrances and fragrance lines that I already own and think would be for the summer. I hope this list will inspire your fragrance choices this summer!

5 Things That Remind Me of Summer

It’s summer time and everything is reflecting it. The summer temperatures are here, pools are open to swim in, and school is out. Even though it is summer, it is also a time when certain things are more common than others. Like many people, there are certain things that remind me of a certain season. Even though they are common in other seasons, they remind me of summer more than other time of the year.

To celebrate this season, I created a list of five things that remind me of summer. Certain things are also common in other times of the year, but these are the ones that remind me of the warmest time of the year!

My 2024 New Summer Home Decor Lemons “Theme”: What I’m Doing, How I’m Doing It, and Why I’m Doing It

I’m not someone who likes to follow trends unless they work for me. This is especially true when it comes to home decor. I like what I like and if I spend quite a bit of money to surround myself with these things, I want to keep them for a long time. This is why choosing a new “theme” for this year’s home decor was abnormal for me. Especially since the them is lemons!

Bath and Body Works Semi Annual Sale Haul- December 2023 Part 1

In December, I went shopping at Bath and Body Works. It was the start of the semi annual sale, so I wanted to stock up on products I like and want to have available for the next year. I had low expectations for this sale because I didn’t think anything I wanted to purchase would be available. Instead, I was very surprised by the amount of products on sale I wanted and needed! For the first time in a few years, I purchased quite a lot of products! Since I purchased so many products, I split them into two posts. This post is dedicated to all the body products. The second post will be coming out later this week.

Bath and Body Works Firework Pop In Store Photographs

The 4th of July is next week! I am excited because it means a few days off and fireworks! Earlier this month, I decided to get into the 4th of July celebratory sprit by wearing or purchasing some patriotic inspired clothes, decor, and other things. One of those other things was a bottle of Bath and Body Works’s Firecracker Pop shower gel.

I loved Firecracker Pop a lot, but I haven’t owned a bottle of it for years. When I found out Firecracker Pop returned to Bath and Body Works, I decided to buy a bottle of the shower gel to use this summer. Earlier this month, I went to Bath and Body Works to see their semi annual sale as well as buy a bottle of Firecracker Pop. I was able to take photographs of the section of the store dedicated to the Firecracker Pop products as well as a few other 4th of July inspired scents.

Bath and Body Works Summer Scents In Store Photographs- June 2023

During a shopping at Bath and Body Works for their Semi Annual Sale, I found a section dedicated to new summer scents. I took photograph of the products on sale, so I decided to take some photographs of the summer products as well. These products were not part of the sale, so they cost more than anything else in the sale.

My 6 Summer Fashion Essentials

Temperatures are warming up, which means it the time to wear summer appropriate clothes! I live in Arizona, where temperatures can reach well over 100 degrees Ferenhegt (). Some places temperatures can reach over 115 degrees! This means it is extra important to dress for the weather.

Over the years, I started to notice some go-to fashion pieces during the summer. Some of these fashion pieces are normally associated with summer, such as sandals, but there are some things I don’t think are common for other people. Still, I really enjoy wearing them and often associate them with the summer months.

For this post, I wanted to list six summer fashion essentials I normally wear. There are a few more, but generally speaking, these six are my go-to staples in my summertime wardrobe.
