A Comprehensive Guide to Summer 2020
In about a month, summer will be here. And we absolutely cannot wait for warmer weather and sunnier skies, especially right now.
We know things may feel bleak as you're coming to terms with this new normal, so we wanted to throw together something that would help you look forward to the season.
Inspired by She the Spy, we created a summer 2020 guide to get you ready for the greatest season of them all. We're breaking down everything you should do to have the most enjoyable summer (even in quarantine) below!
The Vibe
To give you a little splash of inspo for the season, we created a 2020 summer mood board that's worth staring at for at least one hour every day. We plan on living it up poolside with clear skies overhead, even if we're stuck inside for all of the season.
