It’s always fun to make a wish list of things you might or might not get for yourself. To get inspiration for my life, I enjoy getting ideas of things I can use in my everyday life.

This summer I am all about living my best life and trying new things. I also want to step back into some of the things that my inner child loved. Society try to make us grow up too fast and forget that we enjoy certain things. So these are just gonna be a few things that I feel are necessary in order for me to have an amazing next two seasons.
A Unique Swimsuit
I’ve always done like the crazy pop of color for my swimsuit. So this year I wanna do a natural earth of tone. Just because that’s what my closet is focused on right now. So I am thinking about this swimsuit that you see above. And I love the material because it’s not heavy.
Beach Bag

A great statement bag to take with you on your journeys is probably one of those top things you need. I left to carry a few snacks and a magazine and the great book to enjoy out in nature. So this bag is just big enough to fit everything that I need.
A Few Great Books
I love to read by the water. There’s something relaxing about the waves crashing into rocks or any thing by it. I think that’s where I wrote most of the poems from my book. So you should definitely check it out because I did have some inspiration. Who knows you may be inspired as well. So I love to have a few great reads outside.
Roller Skates
I used to be in love with the rollerblading when I was a child. And this upcoming season I want to focus on working out outdoors. Just so I can have fresh air and get into activities that you cannot do indoors. So I’m looking forward to getting a pair of rollerskates and getting my cardio on.
- How to Tell Someone You Need Space (Without Starting a Fight)
Requesting personal space does not mean rejecting someone or weakening a relationship. Explain that the need is not personal, specify what you need, and provide a clear timeframe for reconnecting. Avoid disappearing, vague statements, or using distance as punishment. Acknowledge the other person’s feelings while maintaining healthy boundaries and offering a small point of connection. - Why You Replay Every Conversation After a Party (and How to Stop)
Post-event conversation replay is common but exhausting, as the brain overemphasizes awkward moments and fills uncertainty with negative assumptions. Helpful strategies include labeling the loop, using self-compassion, writing worries down once, noticing positive evidence, and calming the body. Avoid unnecessary apologies; seek therapy if rumination disrupts sleep or social life. - What to Say When Relatives Ask Why You’re Still Single (7 Scripts That Actually Work)
The article offers seven polite scripts for handling relatives’ questions about dating, from humorous deflections to firm boundaries and graceful exits. It emphasizes that you can remain warm without sharing personal details. Preparation, repetition, allies, and planned breaks help manage persistent questioning while protecting your peace during family gatherings. - The 5-Minute Reset I Do in the Bathroom at Every Holiday Party
The post offers a five-minute bathroom or quiet-space reset for managing overwhelm at parties. It recommends relaxing tense muscles, slowing the exhale, grounding through the senses, and setting a small intention. Additional strategies include taking natural breaks, bringing support, planning an exit, and seeking therapy when anxiety significantly affects daily life. - I Stopped Answering Texts Right Away for 30 Days. Here’s What Actually Happened
After delaying non-urgent text replies for 30 days, the writer discovered that immediate responses were driven by anxiety rather than politeness. Waiting reduced guilt, improved communication, and created calmer evenings. The experiment showed that urgency is often self-imposed, and being reachable does not mean being constantly available. Small boundaries can restore attention and peace.
Picnic Basket
I know that there have been a lot of emphasis on self-love. I think you should take care of treating yourself to the things that you normally would not. So this year I am going to treat myself to a picnic basket and go on picnics by myself. With a good book and notebook as well so I can get some writing done.
