Ultimate Summer Bucket List

Many of us are currently feeling nostalgic for summertimes past -- ones that weren’t so socially-distanced. We’ve entered into uncharted territory recently, both as a global population and as individuals. The last few months have forced us to pull back the curtain, and confront issues that are uncomfortable and painful. We’ve been faced with a spectrum of emotions, often grappling with feelings of loneliness and helplessness. However, despite the tragedy and loss our world has endured, the last few months have also brought unexpected gifts, like self-reflection, gratitude and kindness. There will still be some of my favorite summer staples (as pictured - hellllooo rosé), but this time around, my summer plans look a little different, because I’ve found there are parts of “life during lockdown” that I feel are definitely worth preserving.
