Summer 2021 To Do List

Summer is officially here! I feel like I kicked mine off in a pretty epic way with my roadtrip through Colorado (a comprehensive guide & vlog are coming soon). I thought I'd compile a list of everything I want to get done this summer when it comes to fun in hopes that it inspires you to do something epic. Which one are you adding to your list? — xoxo darling, Hayden

1. Make popsicles — Buy yourself some molds & get creative. 
2. Have patio drinks with friends — Ace Eat Serve & El Five are at the top of my list.
