Today, I’m talking about how to get the most out of your summer. So I know that technically that Labor Day is not the last day of summer, the official last day of summer is Monday, September 23. However, for many summer will end because school starts or the weather changes and starts feeling more like fall. So how can you get the most out of summer during the last weeks of summer? Start by making a list of all the things you may want to do. Then weed out any items that you won’t be able to accomplish because of budget, timing, weather, etc and add them to a maybe list. Get your family and friends involved. Everything is always more fun when you get more people involved right? Find out who wants to join you on your adventures.

Imagine a warm summer day and you’re sitting on the porch or deck with a few friends and you wish you had a refreshing summer cocktail to sip while hanging out. Never fear Claire is here to the rescue! Every now and then I like to take some outside classes, and a few I’ve attended are some mixology courses. Why not learn how to make something tasty from the experts?! At a recent class they were teaching the different types of drinks to make for hot summer nights. One of the drinks that caught my interest was one called “Afternoon Tea”. The mixologist teaching the course kept referring to it as a “Porch Pounder”. I didn’t really get it until I tasted it and then it all made sense. Basically, a porch pounder is a light and refreshing drink that can be enjoyed in high quantities…..not that you would, of… Read More

If you’ve seen my Instagram, you know that I went to Napa Valley earlier this month. I have to say that going to Napa with my husband was such an amazing trip for me. I went to Napa with a friend and it was fun, but I really wanted to experience it with my husband. Not only is Napa romantic, but it’s such a beautiful place to experience with someone you love…..and I learned so much. Many people think that going to Napa Valley is just about drinking lots of wine. Well, for some it is, but for us we loved learning about how wine was made and how each one is different, in addition to tasting many wines. It’s actually inspired me to take some classes in wine making. What I have to say next may make you sad…..going to Napa Valley on a tight budget is hard. Many of the… Read More

I don’t know about you guys, but summertime for me means shopping! I just feel like it’s the optimal time to freshen up your wardrobe and try to find some summer business casual outfits (and maybe throw in a fun summer outfit or two). Summer business casual outfits can be tricky because a staple work ensemble is composed of pants, a perfect blazer, and a cotton-based blouse. Even if you’re working indoors, that much layering does not sound comfortable. If you are looking to change up your wardrobe this summer season, you will want to incorporate light materials and ascending layers. So how can you do all that and remain looking like the professional, high-end, boss-lady that you are? Here are my summer business casual outfit ideas that you will need this season.
