Chill Vibes, Vol. 8
A bunch of good vibes for your holiday weekend!
Gearing up for a long weekend? Memorial Day is the “official” 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 I’ve 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 I’d 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 chillin’ 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.
I’ll resume the biweekly schedule of posting these ~chill vibes~ going forward from here. With that said… Let’s get into it! Loads of reads, links to fun stuff, and my updated playlists await. Have an awesome weekend, and we’ll see ya back next time! ✌🏻
