I hope ya’ll (I laugh every time because I’m the farthest thing from a Southern girl) are enjoying the new month so far. Here’s to getting the bang out of our buck in terms of soaking up all things summer before fall creeps in. If your August is off to a sluggish start, I’ve got some suggestions to eat up August in the most delightful of ways!

1. Make coffee pancakes on a Sunday.

2. Freshen up the kitchen table with flowers from the farmer’s market.

3. Stuff yourself with {vegan} coconut-stuffed ice cream.

4. Treat your feet to a bright pedicure.

5. Eat watermelon & drink it, too >> Watermelon Margaritas!

6. Whip up a batch of Peach Berry Buttermilk Muffins for brunch with friends or fam.

7. Aim for abs. Try this plank workout on the beach; bikini season isn’t over yet!

8. Savor salad season >> Chickpea & Peach Farm Salad | Easy Summer Veggie Salad | Raspberry Pistachio-Crusted Goat Cheese Salad

9. Send a “just because” note via snail mail.

10. Keep your freezer stocked with chocolate dipped frozen bananas… all month long.
