Some of my favorite memories of all time happened on warm summer nights. There’s just something about spending the day at the beach and the night out on the town. Every summer night at Seven Mile Beach feels like you are on vacation. There are so many great places to enjoy dinner and entertainment.

Summer, sweet summer, oh how we love you so! Once August sets in, everyone is in their summer routine. This routine most likely includes a lot of beach, bay, pool, sunsets, then repeat. One thing everyone can admit is that it is hot, very hot. You are probably searching far and low for new ways to keep cool. Here are some of our favorite ideas.

Summer nights usually call for a casual outfit, especially when it’s hot out. Whether you are entertaining at home or decide to head out on the town, it’s nice to have a few go-to outfits in your closet that are easy. You can throw them on, they work for pretty much any occasion, and you always feel and look good. This is one of those outfits.

We have reached the last month of summer, and this year more than ever I keep thinking, “Summer, please don’t go!” Hopefully, you have had a chance to tackle some of the great titles on your summer reading list. If you haven’t, that’s OK – August is the perfect month to sit back and lose yourself in a good book. That’s because it’s usually too hot to do anything else! If you need any help cooling down, these thrillers are sure to give you the chills.

When the sun is beating down, it’s hard to think about getting ready for a night out. Sometimes it’s just too hot to even want to get dressed. Fortunately, The Preppy Palm has you covered for nights like these.

We wait all year for summer nights and finally things are happening around town again. While no-shower happy hours are a fan favorite, it’s always nice to dress up a bit and head out to a nice dinner. The Spot has a lot of great pieces to add to your summer wardrobe.

Summer always seems to fly by, especially when you are having fun! Make sure you take time to relax before the school year starts up again and you are busier than ever. When it’s too hot to run around outside, consider picking up a good book and reading in the shade.

I don’t know about you, but I feel that not only has everything completely changed for my family since March, it just seems to be getting worse. Is money a concern? Will the kids go back to school in September? And if they do, what will that look like?
