We love a super simple dip: a bar of cream cheese with a can of jalapeño in vinegar - all in the blender and you have the most delicious, bit spicy dip!

Have you looked at Zara, H&M, ASOS etc? I feel like European stores have cute things at good prices! Also Poshmark for secondhand is a good option!

I’m a gold person too!
I have had earrings and necklaces from James Michelle (https://jamesmichelle.com/) for years and have used them in the pool, ocean etc and are still going strong! Another one that I like and is great for not taking them off as much is Atolea (https://atoleajewelry.com/)
A local brand (in Austin) that I recently discover and I’m obsessed with is Makes Turtle Sense (https://www.instagram.com/makesturtlesense) - her things are SO cute! I got a necklace early this summer and have used it a lot (pool and everything) and is doing great!
