There is a feeling that overcomes you after a day at the local swimming pool. After a day of sitting in the sun, reading a good book, eating pizza, laughing, and of course swimming in cool water, you get home and your body just shuts down. The sunburn settles in, the tan forms, and you become a waterlogged, tired, yet satisfied human being.You take a shower to wash off the chlorine, you come out smelling like coconuts and palm trees. You pull on an oversized t-shirt and shorts and you call it a day. You are too tired to eat food, too tired to go hang out with friends, too tired to write a Friday Favorites post on your blog. So you wake up the next morning and decide that you can't leave your bloggin' friends hanging you have to write a post. So you do it. That's what I'm doing right now. I'm bringing you my Favorites of the week on Saturday. Here we go.
1. Swim day with my sister Krystal. We had a good time. It was June 1st, basically the first day of summer! We had to go swimming. We had cute new swimsuits. When you have a cute swimsuit you just want to go try it out in a swimming pool. That's how we roll. Speaking of swimsuits...this leads me right into my next favorite/disappointment.
2. My swimsuit. It
was a favorite when I got it this week. It
was pretty swanky. Neon Pink, 40's style one piece, flirty skirt and ruching. It
was adorable! Until...I got out of the pool. The neon pink had faded into a pinky/purplish, dull pepto bismol color. NOT cute anymore. The neon color was bright and flattering. This new shade made me look sick. My swimsuit had faded and my tiredness turned into crankiness in a matter of 5 seconds. Right after I publish this post, I am going to go return it. Word to the wise, don't buy an expensive swimsuit that's a fabulous color. It disappoints you.
3. Pizza! Homemade, store bought, take out. I love pizza. My mom makes some pretty tasty homemade pizza. It has to be one of my favorite foods. What are some of your favorite foods? Have you had anything especially tasty this week? Comment below!

5. My
friends, oh how I love them.
6. Dad
My dad is one of the greatest people I know. He is full of love and compassion. He works very hard and sometimes doesn't get the credit he deserves. He always says the right thing right when you need it. He is the best. I love him.
7. Frankie, my older brother. This summer we have grown closer and it has been really wonderful to talk to him and get to know him. I love him too.
That's all for the favorites today friends. Make sure to comment below with your favorites. Have an awesome weekend. Eat good food, surround yourself with good people, and since summer has started, please be safe.
