\"summer<\/p>\n

Hey, tomorrow is the first day of summer. How do you plan to celebrate?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what I\u2019m thinking:<\/p>\n

Today is national flip-flop day. Just in time for summer, right? How convenient. Feelgoodz is a brand of cute flip-flops made with natural rubber, so they are nontoxic. I\u2019ve seen them at Whole Foods or you can get them here<\/strong><\/a>. \u00a0Inhabitat lists 10 eco friendly flip-flops<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Get your chill on with Becky\u2019s diy summer popsicle recipes<\/strong><\/a>. Pull up a chair and enjoy. Cool, healthy, refreshing, and the kids will love them too.<\/p>\n

Beer is a summertime staple. But did you know that many top beer brands use unhealthy ingredients<\/strong><\/a>. Though it is kind of sad to see Newcastle and Guiness on the list, at least Sierra Nevada is on the healthy beers list. What\u2019s your fave?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d rather drink your joe iced this summer (and you really should try it if you haven\u2019t) try a cold brewed coffee. I have a toddy maker that I purchased at my local coffee shop that is easy to use and makes ridiculously good coffee. Or if you\u2019d rather, Whole Foods<\/strong><\/a> carries an already bottled cold brew made from their house coffee, Allegro. Super yummy.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just not summer if s\u2019mores don\u2019t make the scene. Feel guilty about the over-the-top-ness of these treats? Try this healthier version of s’mores<\/strong><\/a> from our Summertime board on Pinterest. \u00a0Mmmmm!<\/p>\n

Sounds like a perfect first of summer day to me. What will you do to usher in the new season?<\/p>\n
