Monday Musings

Today's musings are giving us all of the summer feels. We don't know about you, but we're ready to pack our bags and get out of town for some much-needed rest and relaxation - just in time to celebrate the 4th of July! Whatever you are up to this long weekend, we wish you the happiest of times!

Elizabeth: Last year, I missed ordering what I would call the "it" dress by Sea. We had folks calling from all over the place looking for a beautiful red embroidered dress. Well, I was not going to make the same mistake twice. I personally love it in blue even more than the red. I feel like this dress deserves a vacation, and I need to go to some island in Greece just to wear it. (Available at The Hive, $450 - $465)

Celthia: Sometimes, you need glamorous sunscreen. Picture this: you're going out to brunch or happy hour, the sun's high in the sky, and SPF is a must. Meet Saint Jane's Sun Ritual Pore Smoothing SPF 30. It's more than sunscreen. It's a smooth, soft, lush formula that's invisible and hydrating. The best part, it has Saint Jane's signature floral fragrance (remember the Luxury Serum?) in a beautifully blended desert rose, jasmine, and hibiscuses that's perfect for when you need sunscreen but without the beach vibes. (Available at Bellacara, $38)

Britt: One thing I truly love about working with Sotheby's International Realty is the worldwide network we have at our fingertips! Our family was in Nantucket last week, and we had to stop by the Maury People Sotheby's International Realty brokerage office while we were here! Anyone looking for a summer home??

Amy: A must-have summer accessory, the Belmont Picnic Basket is classy and convenient. This woven wicker picnic basket/cooler combo includes all the necessary accessories for a perfect picnic in the park. (Available at Red Barn Mercantile, $150)

Adrien: Summer has finally arrived, and for some folks, that may mean taking a break from their normal wellness routines. With less structured schedules and more opportunities to head out of town, so many will set aside good habits and put off self-care. And we all know that even vacations come with their own kinds of stress! Yet the members of our Concierge Small Group Program have extra motivation to remain committed to their own wellness - they are committed to showing up for each other. Motivational speaker Jim Rohn tells us, "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." So surround yourself with others who share your wellness goals every day, every season. Email us to see if our Concierge Small Group Program is right for you.
