It's July 19. Do you know where your summer is? Have you been meeting your weekly recommended allowance of popsicles? Have you sported that teeny bikini enough to make its exorbitant price tag worth the cost? Have you been applying your sunscreen--or as the case may be, forgetting it and feeling horribly guilty as a result? If you can answer yes to these questions, you're doing just fine.
But if you answered 'no' to any of the above, take action immediately. Find the nearest hose and run through the spray. Gorge yourself on Klondikes and sno-cones. Buy a completely frivolous sundress that incorporates this summer's most ephemeral trends (sequins, perhaps?) and wear it only once. Hurry, because Labor Day will arrive before you know it!
(This public service announcement was brought to you by raspberries, camping trailers and amusement parks: making summer awesome since, like, forever).

Summer has been flying by way too fast, and you just reminded me I needed a popsicle!

Such a sunshine-y post! I now want a sparkly teeny bikini to wear only once! Does that fulfil the criteria?

Lovely post! That sequin cardigan on the last image is to die for. Any idea where it is from? (I am in France and when I click on the link it takes me automatically to the french glamour page)

I just realized I'll still be typing next week if I keep talking about the great stuff we've gotten, so I'm going to list it!

I found this article to be loaded with detailed information that I know to be correct. Not once did you stray from your ideas, nor did you supply off the wall information that confuses readers.
