Have The Best Summer Ever!

Hey guys! Today's post is a little different than the typical thing you'd see here on My Everyday Runway. I wanted to give you some ideas you should definitely try this summer! Let's get started!

(1) Biking & Running!

I personally love a good morning run, and bike rides are fun for hot Summer days. They are both excellent ways to get your blood pumping, along with having fun. If you don't usually like to run or bike, start slow & go with some friends.


(2) Try New Water Activities!

My family has an amazing opportunity to visit our grandparent's cabin by the lake. We go every summer, and it's such a blast. If you don't have a place by water to visit, most cities have local lakes with opportunities for water sports. If you live in the Twin Cities, Lake Calhoun & Lake Harriet are both are awesome places to go! I personally love to rent paddle boats with friends at Centennial Lakes.



(3) Go On A Hike With Friends!
 I love hiking, and it's so much fun to go with friends or family. My sister & I actually climbed a local fire tower while we were at the lake!

(4) Try Mini Golfing!
 It's such a fun activity for a cool Summer day! You don't have to be good, just have fun! I surprised everyone when I actually got a hole-in-one!


(5) Embrace Your Lazy Days!
Summer is all about kicking back and relaxing. Embrace your lazy days by reading books, having a spa night, or watching all 6 seasons of Parks & Recreation.


Also, I wanted you guys to meet my "photographer." This is my sister, Shelby. She takes all the pictures here on My Everyday Runway. I really appreciate her & all she does.


Thanks for reading!
Have a great Summer!
XOXO, GG

what his words could not see

the problem with insecurities is they like to hide. they sit below the surface, waiting for something or someone to set them off. you yourself may not even know they're there. i knew mine was there, i just didn't want to admit it. i fed myself all the right literature, watched all the right videos, listened to all the right people who were telling me that what i was going through was normal, good, beautiful even. i consumed it until i told myself i believed it. but the problem was, i never did.  deep down, i didn't accept what was happening. i told myself it was temporary, i would lose it soon. at my very core, i believed that something was wrong with me. i rarely let others on to the fact that when i looked in the mirror i was deeply sad. growing up your whole life being skinny, no one ever tells you what to do when your body changes. when your external value is no longer based in your smallness. i couldn't reconcile what was happening to me. i could not understand or ...

Versatility In Your Wardrobe- Dresses

Image
Hey fellow fashionistas! A really important thing in anyone's wardrobe is versatility. I mean, you can't wear one item and never wear it again! Mixing and matching outfits is something fashionistas pride themselves on all around the world. I try my hardest to create a completely new look with all my clothes. The cool thing is, nobody will know if you wear the same shirt twice in the school week! You will accessorize and pair it totally different! I'm going to show you how to create the illusion that you own a lot of clothes, when the reality is.. you're just a master of outfit creating. Ok, there's a twist! A lot of people think of separates for mixing & matching, and they usually think of dresses as a one-time dressy outfit. Dresses can be made super casual! The looks created today will all include a dress! Don't be afraid to rock one to school or just running errands, these are super comfy and laid back! (1) Add a button down under one of your favori...
