Summer Story: Welcome Summer 2015

Hi beautiful people!

Summer is here, the weather in LA has officially hit over 80°, and I am able to meet up with my close friends and family. WHOOOOO!

On Tuesday, June 23, 2015, I hosted my Welcome Summer Bonfire. It's #1 on my Summer Bucket List and it feels so good to cross it out on my written list. I woke up feeling really tired because the previous night I came home late from Six Flags. However, my alarm rang and my mood lifted knowing I was going to see my friends and hangout with them as we welcome summer 2015.

I grabbed my bathing suit and got ready for the day. I picked up my friend Jenilee, Amber, and Ashley. Then we made our way to pick up some bonfire essentials. We ended up making so man pit stops because we kept forgetting stuff to buy stuff. So here's a quick list of things to start you off when buying stuff for a bonfire:

Bonfire Essentials
     - Sun Block
     - Snacks: Chips, Donuts, Pizza (because you can eat them hot or cold)
     - Drinks: Water, Ginger ale, Soda, Juice, Etc.
     - S'mores (DUH!!): Graham crackers, Marshmallows, Hershey's Chocolate (or any other brand)
     - Fire Stuff: Wood, Fire Starters, Lighter Fluid, Matches/lighter
     - Good Music Playlist & Speaker











Normally, I have/attend bonfires at Dockweiler beach because it's the beach with fire pits that is closest to my house. However, this time I hosted the bonfire at Bolsa Chica State Beach because I wanted to try some place different, and the drive was so worth it!

This bonfire allowed me to see one of my favorite people, Eunice. She's the girl in the photo sitting on the lifeguard's tower. The last time I saw her was at a New Year's party, and I haven't had the chance to hang out with her. The bonfire allowed us to spend time together. We got to talk, catch up, and hangout. It's nice to see friends /i don't get to see often. Just a reminder to be thankful for the people in my life.

It was such a fun day! Being able to welcome summer 2015 with my friends and having a blast chilling at the beach made for a great day. I don't get to go to the beach often throughout the year because of classes, but summer allows me to get my fill. It's makes me happy to hang out at the beach again. It's a calming feeling to lay under the sun, listen to the sound of the waves as they hit the sand, and relax. It feels nice to be sun kissed and feel the sand between my toes.

When the sun began to set, it got chilly really quickly. My friends and I started wearing our sweaters and kept the fire burning. We sat around the fire singing songs and making s'mores. What other way to end a bonfire? Cheers everyone. Here's to an amazing summer.


"Summer, after all, is a time when wonderful things can happen to people. For those few months you’re not required to be who everyone thinks you are. The fresh cut grass smell in the air & the chance to dive into the deep end of a pool, gives you courage you didn’t think you had. Summer just opens the door and lets you free."
