YOU GUYS (!!!) it’s August 1st — the last month of summer vacay — and I’m in full blown denial about it. Anyone else feel like summer just started? In an effort to avoid all things back-to0-school for a little longer, we decided to put together a fun giveaway full of goodies that will help you soak up summer until the very end.
AUGUST FAVES:
1) mini clips add a pop of sumerry color to anything / 2) retro ice cream scoop perfect for a sundae party or ice cream social / 3) tote for any last minute road trips / 4) sprinkles and candy eyes for all the ice cream / 5) oversized neon + kraft tags just because / 6) ‘namast’ay in bed’ pillow cases to celebrate one more month without alarm clocks / 7) pretty throw pillow for entertaining / 8) mini colander for late summer berry picking / 9) paper popcorn boxes for outdoor (or indoor) movie night
To enter to win my August faves, sign up for emails (if you haven’t already) HERE and leave a comment sharing one thing (or more) you still have to check off your summer bucket list! Contest closes Friday, Aug. 5th at 10pm PST. One (1) lucky winner will be notified by email and announced here by the following Monday.
Congrats to TEESHA for winning the August Faves Giveaway + thank you to everyone for participating!!!
A couple things that still need checking off our summer bucket list is a trip to our family cabin and working a lemonade stand. Looking forward to reading your comments for more ideas too!
Sending you all the winning vibes!
XO, Rae
