Itās something we all wish deep down in our hearts. Itās about a million little things that take hold of our breath and give this ephemeral season its sense of magic.

WE QUOTE:
Best reads are when the summer thunderstorms start. Thereās even a heady smell that carries in the air just before the skies let loose. When the rain finally comes, it seems to provoke a sigh of relief as it bounces off leaves and cools off the hot earth.
The Secret of the Forest
WE LOVE FOREST:
Have you ever been to the forest to pick up some berries? It is kind of a meditation for your soul and mind. The sounds of the birds, smell of the trees, cracking noises while walking down undiscovered mystical forest paths, and of course, the tasty berries that almost all go into your mouth before it gets a chance to reach the basket… š Wild strawberries and blueberries, yummy! The end of July is the picker’s paradise! Sister Aiste has already jumped into her green boots, taken her favourite basket and of course she would never go to the forest without her wild strawberry hunter Ukas š¶

Summer Fridays just for your Skin
WE TAKE CARE:
When you dream about your summer skin, you might envision it being tanned, smooth and glowing, but the reality can be somewhat different as you need to tackle the risk of sweat, sunburn and premature ageing due to the sunny conditions. You have to love your skin and take proper care of it – we found this brand called Summer Friday. Their products are powerful but gentle. They have this pH-balancing gel cleanser that treats skin to a restoring cocktail of 11 amino acids with a splash of mineral-rich seawater.
Cooling off in the Ocean
WE LOVE OCEAN:
Itās the way you can taste the salt on your lips or how running in the shallow surf against the receding tide makes you feel like mother ocean is literally pulling you back into her fold. Itās the beautiful breathlessness that comes from wading against the waves. And itās the way, long after your feet hit dry sand, your hair crunches and makes you feel like a mermaid. Letās be mermaids in Bodrum: the most glamours hangout in Mediterranean, check it outĀ here.
