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

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

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…

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!

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!

My 6 Summer Fashion Essentials

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

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.

5 Favorite Summertime Treats

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Summer, like the other three seasons of the year, have certain types of foods that are commonly associated with them. One of the most popular types of foods people associate with the summer season are the treats. Treats can mean different types of foods for different people, but to me it means deserts and other sweet foods. I have many treats I enjoy eating during this time of the year, some are better to eat than others. After thinking so much about what kinds of foods I would like to make for myself, I decided to write a post about five of my favorite summertime treats. These are also the treats I’m most excited to eat this year… if I can make them!

Thoughts on Being a Homebody During the Summertime

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

Summertime is always a great time to get out of the house and do something fun. In colder climates, it is the best time of the year to get out of the house and enjoy warmer temperatures. In warmer climates, such as where I live, it is not so fun. For the people who live in the area where I live, summertime, especially in June, it is the worse time to be outside. It is the time when temperatures will reach well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. All kinds of problems can arise from being outside these types of temperatures including heat stroke.

This is why so many people like to travel. We like to travel to the mountains North of where I live. There is where the temperatures are cooler. Other favorite places to travel include California and Nevada. If you can’t travel, you need to work around these hot temperatures when you go out or just stay home.

This summer, it looks like I will be staying home. Again.

Some of My Summer Reading Plans for 2023

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Well, I think it is official. This summer I will be a homebody. Actually, I shouldn’t say will be. Most likely and probably is more like it. There are several reasons why, but the main reasons include road construction in the area where I live and the hotter weather. Still, I am remaining optimistic about staying home this summer. One of them is that I have more time to read.

I have a very long and lengthy list of books I want to read this summer, but to be realistic, I won’t be able to finish everything on it. Instead, I want to focus on the books I want to read most of all. Even though I have a long reading list, I still want to write a post about some of the books I’m looking forward to reading the most.
