Gearing up for a long weekend? Memorial Day is the āofficialā kickoff for summer-summer-summertime here in my neck of the woods and I could not be happier. The sun has been shining, the weather is just perfect, and Iāve been enjoying having the windows open before it gets too hot for the season. I took an extra day off to sweeten this weekend, too, so I figured Iād drop an issue of Chill Vibes to help you roll into the holiday weekend.
Lots of you are likely celebrating graduations (shout out to one of my nephews graduating HS and one of my nieces graduating college!), heading to the pool, hosting a cookout, watching/attending the Indy 500, or just chillinā this weekend. I hope you take the time to reflect on what this long weekend is about: remembering those who lost their lives while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
Iāll resume the biweekly schedule of posting these ~chill vibes~ going forward from here. With that saidā¦ Letās get into it! Loads of reads, links to fun stuff, and my updated playlists await. Have an awesome weekend, and weāll see ya back next time! āš»
