Use the Summer Aesthetic to Make a Flat Lay 

Styling a summer-themed flat lay is a fantastic way to capture the essence of the season in a visually appealing and vibrant composition. Start by selecting a clean and neutral background such as a wooden table or a white linen cloth to serve as the canvas for your arrangement.

Gather a variety of summer-inspired props like seashells, colorful sunglasses, a straw hat, tropical fruits, a beach towel, or a mini beach ball. Place these items strategically in a balanced and visually pleasing manner, paying attention to color coordination and varying sizes and shapes.

Consider adding natural elements like flowers, palm leaves, or a small potted plant to enhance the summery atmosphere. Utilize natural light to illuminate the scene and create a warm and inviting ambiance.

Experiment with different angles and perspectives to find the most captivating composition. Once satisfied, capture the flat lay from directly above using a camera or smartphone.

With careful arrangement and attention to detail, your summer-themed flat lay will evoke the spirit of the season and transport viewers to a sunny paradise.

Summer flat lays are fun to share on Instagram and help to get everyone in the summer fun mode.

Summer Aesthetic Food

Making popsicles at home is a fun and easy way to beat the summer heat. To start, gather your desired ingredients and popsicle molds. Fresh fruit, fruit juice, yogurt, or even chocolate can be used as the base for your popsicles. If using fresh fruit, blend it with a bit of water or juice until smooth.

For added sweetness, you can mix in some honey or sugar. Next, carefully pour the mixture into the popsicle molds, leaving a bit of space at the top for expansion. Insert popsicle sticks into each mold and place them in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.

Once frozen, run the molds briefly under warm water to loosen the popsicles and gently remove them. Now you have homemade popsicles ready to enjoy!

Experiment with different flavors, layering different mixtures, or adding chunks of fruit for extra texture. These icy treats are a delicious way to stay cool and indulge in your favorite flavors all summer long.

Naps are not just for kids.  Napping on the beach can be so relaxing, just make sure to have your sunblock on.

Meditate in a calming location.  The summer days are so much longer.

It is nice to take advantage of the warm nights and go outside more.

pool summer drink

Grab a drink and float in the pool!

Sometimes a staycation can be just as fun as a vacation where you go somewhere far.  Find a place with a pool and float around for a day.

Have a party where you make a themed drink.  Using watermelon is always fun!

One of the best summer-inspired drinks is the refreshing and invigorating Watermelon Mojito. This delightful concoction combines the sweet and juicy flavors of fresh watermelon with the zesty kick of lime and the cool minty freshness of mint leaves.

The drink starts with muddled watermelon chunks, releasing their vibrant pink hue and natural sweetness. Then, lime juice adds a tangy twist that balances the fruitiness perfectly. A handful of torn mint leaves is gently crushed to release their aromatic oils, lending a refreshing fragrance to the mix.

Finally, the drink is topped with sparkling water or soda for a fizzy finish that tickles the taste buds. Served over ice and garnished with a sprig of mint and a slice of watermelon, the Watermelon Mojito is the epitome of summer bliss, providing a thirst-quenching, fruity, and revitalizing sip that instantly transports you to a tropical paradise.

Surf Aesthetic

Go surfing or try a watersport.  When we went to Maui a few years ago I decided to take a surf lesson at the end of our vacation.

It was so much fun that I wished I had taken the lesson at the beginning of our vacation so I could have surfed more.

Relax by the pool or beach and read a summer-themed book.

Start saving for and planning a summer vacation months ahead of summer to get in the mood.  Create a summer mood board on Pinterest to plan out your perfect summer vacation.

Think about where you want to go, how much you want to spend, and what you will do.

This way when you are ready to go on vacation it can be very relaxing.
