Wayfair Blogger’s Picks for a Cool Summer

April 30, 2017 by Lisa Leave a Comment

I’m looking forward to long and lazy hot summer days. As much as I hate the heat and humidity – I love that feeling of refreshment. Like a frozen ice pop or a cold glass of water or a dip in the pool. And you can pretty much find everything you need for a cool summer at Wayfair.

Wayfair Blogger Picks

Here are my 12 Wayfair Picks to Keep Cool This Summer

Snow Cone Machine
Snow Cone Maker
There’s nothing cooler than a snow cone on a hot summer day. No need to scrape ice the old-fashioned way with this Cuisinart Snow Cone Maker. This is old school summer treat is easy and fun to make at home.
Beverage Serveware
Grosche Bali Water Pitcher
Water is definitely the way to go all year round. But it doesn’t need to be boring. I love this water pitcher because you can add your own fresh fruit and or maybe a few sprigs of mint to give your water a refreshing taste.
Ice Cream Mixing Set
6 Piece Parlor Ice Cream Mixing Set
I scream. You scream. We ALL scream for ice cream. For your next BBQ set up this fun 6-piece parlor ice cream mixing station. Guests of all ages will love creating their own flavors and add-ons.
Popsicle Mold
Ice Cream Van Popsicle Lolly Mold
As a kid, I loved the sound of the ice cream truck bells. With this – there’s no need to wait. Make your own flavored ice pops and bring out the truck whenever the kids are ready.
Dorsal Fin Ice Cube Tray
Silicone Shark Fin Ice Cube Tray
How fun is this shark fin ice cube tray?! No need to be scared to go in the water. This ice won’t bite.
Single Serve Blender
Professional Blender with Single Serve Attachment
I love juicing year round but during the warmer months – it feels and tastes so much better. You can get all your fruits and veggies in and take it on the go. The Ninja-Professional Blender with single serve attachment is perfect for quick breakfasts on the go.
Hammock With Stand
Ava Canvas Hammock with Stand
There’s nothing more relaxing than a hammock. An afternoon nap in this cozy hammock will make any summer day feel like a vacation day in paradise.
Log Fire Pit
Lafayette Wood Burning Fire Pit
When the sun sets and there’s a cool summer evening breeze, grab a glass of vino and cozy up by this wood burning fire pit.
Globe Lights
100-Light Globe String Lights
Because who doesn’t love string lights? It’s an easy upgrade to your outdoor space.
Inflatable Hot Tub
Rio Grande 4-Person 88-Jet Inflatable Plug and Play Spa with Furniture
The Canadian Spa Company Rio Grande 4-Person 88-Jet Inflatable Portable Spa will have you completely relieved of everyday stress and tension. If this isn’t backyard goals, I don’t know what is!
Patio Bar
Rum Cay Bar
Every backyard needs a bar. Whether you’re setting up for cocktail hour or putting out party trays or need a little extra storage – this outdoor bar is perfect.
Patio Seating Set
Zachary Laurel Creek 7 Piece Seating Group with Cushion
Whether entertaining friends or curling up alone with a good book, this 7-piece seating set is sleek and comfortable. What I especially love is the neutral color – add some colorful pillows, fresh flowers for the table and a bright outdoor rug to make it your own.

I’ve had these skates for 5 years and I finally I’ve had these skates for 5 years and I finally got to skate in them for real. “Why do my skates feel funny?” I wondered. I assumed it was because I’m not used to roller skates. So I spent the first 15 minutes skating with my skates on the wrong feet 🙄😐🤦🏻‍♀️ but once I fixed them - skating was a little bit easier. 🤣🤣
When the student becomes the teacher… I got to w When the student becomes the teacher… I got to workout with one of my (favorite) former students this morning! From the moment I met her 2 years ago, I knew she was a force to be reckoned with. In the classroom, she is enthusiastic, bright, confident and strong. But at the gym she’s next level! Mel really pushed me today and I know I’ll feel it tomorrow. It wasn’t easy keeping up with this 19 year old. I held my own up until she said 20 minutes on the stair master after our work out. I lasted 5 minutes and then did 15 on the elliptical. 🫠🫠 And obviously we needed a quick locker room photo shoot. 🤣 Also…I don’t know if it’s the angle or the lighting but I can’t believe my arms/back look like that! 😳🥹

When I think about where I was and where I am now, When I think about where I was and where I am now, I am so damn grateful. I used to believe that I “wasted” the best years of my life. I was so wrong. I am living my best years and fully present in my life. 🤍 5/6/18 🤍 5 years one day at a time (sometimes one hour, one minute, one second).

In case anyone’s wondering how my life is going… 😬😐🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Started reading Carmen and Grace by @melissacossaq Started reading Carmen and Grace by @melissacossaquino on the 6 train. By page 5, I had to close the book and take a minute to absorb the words on the page. Ok ok ok, I also may have begun tearing up a bit. I love when a book makes me feel. There are times when I come across a book, and the words are exactly what I need at that precise moment. This is that book, this is the time. “The only way out for you is through.” 🤍

He sent me a video at 7am - fully dressed in his uniform for his 1pm game - and a text saying he was disappointed. 😕  It’s after 12 and he’s still in his uniform.
I didn’t think I’d be able to make his first g I didn’t think I’d be able to make his first game but I surprised him. When he saw me he said, “Mama! What the hell are you doing here?” But he was totally happy to see me. Grateful @d3sportsandrec exists! 💙
After class flex. This month I hit my “goal” w After class flex. This month I hit my “goal” weight and for the first time since before Norrin was born, I’m wearing a size 6 jean. Does it feel good? Yes. It does. But what feels even better is that I feel strong. Stronger than I’ve ever felt in my entire life. Thanks for an amazing class @freelikeoj_allday & @tiabrooks_0106 for always offering to take a picture.

Earlier this week, I was unpacking my spring/summe Earlier this week, I was unpacking my spring/summer clothes. I found 3 dresses that I’ve had forever - probably 15 years. They were probably only worn once. I held on to them, even though I couldn’t fit into them. Because I knew one day, I would fit into them again. Over the last 2 years, I’ve lost some weight but they still didn’t fit last summer. When I tried them on this week, they fit! I haven’t been able to fit into these dresses in more than a decade. And so yesterday I put on the blue dress. I didn’t go anywhere spectacular. I wasn’t on a date. I visited a friend in the neighborhood, went to a meeting and then White Castle (don’t judge me). When I first bought this dress and when it fit, I held on to it - waiting for an occasion. I refuse to do that. I’m not waiting for a man to take me out, or a party or an event. If I want to wear something, I will wear it. I am the special occasion. I am the event. I am worth getting dressed up for. 

Also - I realize that holding on to clothing for 15 years hoping it will fit again is probably not normal. But oh well. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣
