like a fish.

in the last 2 days i've had my first, second and third swims of the summer. love it.

2am edit: +fourth swim

here comes the summer!

hey guys, i made this mix for my friend jackie, but i've been listening to it tons the past week so i thought i'd share it with everybody! it's got lots of summer-y, feel good-y, dance-y type songs. a little bit of soul, a little bit of punk, a few newer songs and lots and lots of 90's alterna. it's great for working in the studio, driving in the car, boomboxing in the park, and just generally lovin' life [if yr into that sorta thing]. click the cover to download and enjoy! xox.

featuring: the undertones, paul simon, the anniversary, otis redding, smashing pumpkins, tommy james and the shondells, huggy bear, the wedding present, etc!

sand art.

this weekend i'm going to the beach! i'm so excited to get some sand under my feet.

there are some really neat pictures on discover's website of close ups of different grains of sand and what beaches they are from and what they are composed of: minerals, remnants of sea life, even marble. it's pretty cool although i don't know if i'd want to know what new jersey beaches are made of. ick.

summer fruit.

a nice little painting of watermelons from daily paintings to celebrate the first 80° day this year.

i <3 lemons.

i just went for a walk and it is so BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE!!! it's the perfect weather to sit on a porch doing the crossword puzzle and drinking lemonade. i LOVE lemonade. in fact, i love pretty much everything lemon flavored, especially once summertime rolls around. i have been known to drink lemon juice straight from the bottle as well as grab the lemon out of your water glass and eat it like an orange. gooey lemon bars, entire cartons of sorbet, tins of lemon candy that ruin the roof of your mouth; i love them all! i've also started using my lemon butter creme as lip balm. mmm.

two other lemon related things that i love?

liz lemon


and videos of babies eating lemons.

muxtape.

even though it's stillllllll cold {feels like it always will be} i made a summer themed 'muxtape' to share. check it out here.

the livin' is easy.

i can't wait for summer!!!!!

this image from the toast catalog pretty much sums it up. just add a pitcher of lemonade i'm there.
