A list in no particular order:
- Stone fruit — Peaches, nectarines, apricots, plums. They’re all glorious in the summer.
- The Google Tasks app — I can’t believe it took me this long to find out about this! I’ve reluctantly been using Google Keep, but it’s never been quite right for me. Tasks is a game changer. Being able to schedule out things to do, check them off, and have them carry over day by day is amazing.
- Green tea — I love tea but I don’t really drink it regularly. I had a persistent dry cough recently and switching from my typical iced coffee to a hot green tea helped so much in getting rid of it.
- Sunscreen — I’ve started being more diligent about protecting my skin from the sun and it’s made a difference. My skin feels far less irritated after spending time in harsh sunlight.
- Blue light glasses — I’ve recently been dealing with some eye strain from spending time in front of screens. There isn’t much scientific evidence that filtering out blue light is actually good for you, but I’ve had a really good experience with blue light glasses so far.
- Mustard — Yes, the condiment. It’s the only thing I’ll put on my hot dogs, and it’s basically just three ingredients: vinegar, water, and mustard seeds. Incredible.
This list probably gave it away, but I’m in such a summer mood. Warm sun and fresh grass under my toes is all I can ask for. I’m so happy right now.
