Back with your favorite TSF commentary. #feelz

The sun is out! Rather than being at home, you’d rather be doing ________ [fill in the blank].

Trust me, I totally get it. When I was in college, I was still studying through mid-June since classes were held on a quarter system. When the spring and summer months rolled around, I just wanted to go to the beach, relax, and drink passionfruit La Croix. #FlashbackFriday

Once you have a full-time job, you may miss having an entire summer to do everything (or nothing) that you wanted to do. You really need to savor those precious PTO days. But, then again, you’re (hopefully) getting the weekend off. You can choose to take care of your plants, get some ice cream, use your jade roller – whatever R&R means for you. You do you, smarty femme!

Keep in mind that you can still have a great summer. Whether you’re inside or outside the house, being in a good mood (and mindset!) is essential.

To help, here are some summer tunes to get you in that sweet zone, with TSF commentary:

COFFEE? by JARROD JEREMIAH 

Mood: It’s a brand new day. You wake up and and quickly check your phone, waiting to see if he texted you good morning. I mean, he’s really dreamy. You can’t help but think: is this a fling or the real thing? But you tell yourself that you’re chillin’. After all, this is summer and you’re just getting started. Plus, you really need to get your iced coffee this morning since you were on HouseParty all night with your friends. You sweeten your iced coffee with one pump of vanilla and frothy oat milk. Sluuuurp.

SUMMER FEELINGS by LENNON STELLA ft. CHARLIE PUTH

Mood: You’re sitting in the passenger seat in your friend’s sleek convertible. You’re headed to Santana Row, aka your favorite outdoor mall. The warm weather is finally here and you’re wearing a cute tank top, shorts, and white sneakers. Also, you can’t help but throw your hands up in the air and let out a “WOOOOOO!” on the top of your lungs. Your friend breaks out laughing and tells you to sit back down. Ooooops, my bad.

COOL AGAIN by KANE BROWN

Mood: You’re hanging out with your closest friends in your backyard, wearing a plaid top and cut-off jean shorts. This is Summer 2020! This is real life! You gaze over your right shoulder and your friend is working the BBQ. Mm, the grilled steak smells so good. You pop open an orange-mango Sprindrift and feel the fizzly bubbles on your tongue. It tastes just like summer and you want to savor every. single. moment.

TAKE ME TO THE OCEAN by THE MOVEMENT

Mood: Out of office. You’re vacationing on a tropical island with white-sand beaches. This is the first time you’ve been on vacation since being at home for the past four months. And boy, does it feel heavenly. You wiggle your toes out of the sand and take a sip of your fresh pineapple juice. You can’t help but smile. This is the life.

Hope these tunes can help you enjoy your summer! For more tunes, in addition to the ones above, here is the link to The Smarty Femme’s Ultimate Summer 2020 Playlist: Open Spotify
