I love Summer. It’s hot, it’s sunny, the days are longer, there’s tons of fun stuff to do, and I’m just generally in a great mood. It’s now August, and I’m realizing that I’ve got about a month left to take advantage of everything I want to do in this […]

Last-Minute Summer Entertaining (And Teagaritas!)

Get Geek-Chic with Modcloth
