NOURISHING SUMMER
“...And what a waste...To be at a glorious place with people and laughter, and be focused on how your skin looks in a strap of fabric...that won’t last, that doesn’t have any value, and how much that can steal from the situation and fun that can be had.”
ANNNNND WE’RE BACK!
After taking a much-needed break, we are back to kick off the Summer with another Nourishing episode with Jessica Looney. Per the Fresh Prince, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and the meteorological calendar, it’s that Summer, Summer, Summer Time...Summer Time. Per usual, we’re having a good time with Jes talking about our summer go-to’s, as well as ways to nourish your body, mind, soul, and relationships. Listen in as we talk about both cannon-balls and belly-flops into this new season.
Jes gave us so many good tips this episode! Lots of good books, summer activities, and tasty treats. I know I have definitely benefited from Brooke’s CSA and homemade ice cream. Give Jes’s homemade gatorade a try and let us know how it went! Also, if you haven’t had a pineapple whip...I’m telling you, you’re missing out. If you’re in Northwest Arkansas, go to Brain Freeze in downtown Bentonville. Head over there and getcha one, then let me know how much your life is better now that pineapple whips are in it.
Besides trying a pineapple whip, what’s on your summer bucket list? Let us know in the comments below and on our Instagram or Facebook post. We’d love to gather all the ideas and have a great time this Summer!
