I am very pleased to introduce you all to my new bloggie friend Ariana! Arianna is a full-time mom and a
fashion-lover, world traveler, animal lover, and family woman
extraordinaire. She loves to cook and bake, travel to new places, share great
fashion finds, and spend time doing crafts and projects at home with
her kids. She’s got a crazy busy life, but she wouldn’t have it any other
way!
Now I will hand it over to her for some amazing Celebrity Summer ideas!
Summer is
always a time for fun, relaxing with friends and spending some quality time by
the pool. With so much activity, there are times that all I wish for is a
little quiet.
My girlfriends were comparing notes while watching our kids on the
playground last week and all of us agreed it would be wonderful to take off on
an exotic vacation. But with play dates and our other daily obligations, we
realized that the only vacation we would have this summer was when Grandma
takes the kids for the weekend!
Instead of going on trip to a different location, we decided to
create our own fun in our backyards! Here are some great ideas for
celebrity-inspired activities that you could do at home for a fun and budget
friendly summer!
CELEBRITY
SUMMER: WEEKEND IN THE HAMPTONS
Celebrities love this cozy hotspot! With an endless array of
charity events and cocktail parties to fill up calendars, superstars like
Taylor Swift and Jennifer Lopez have recently become homeowners in the area. Exclusive
guest lists, private beaches, and the charm of a small town continue to draw
more stars to the Hamptons every summer!
REALITY SUMMER: BED &
BREAKFAST
Take a mini road trip and head to a bed and breakfast in your area!
You'll feel like you're on vacation without the hassle of flight delays and
squeezing your shampoo into TSA approved bottles! Many locations offer
activities too, like golfing for the hubby or spa treatments for you. A weekend
getaway is the perfect refresher for the crazy week ahead!

SUMMER: PRIVATELY OWNED EXOTIC LOCALE
I have read about celebrities who own their islands, and I have to
admit that I get a little jealous. For most of us (especially with small
children), it’s a challenge to get away to a resort or renting a condo on the
beach. But having the option to charter a private jet and
owning your own island is a fantasy that stars like Johnny Depp, Tyler Perry,
and Leonardo DiCaprio get to live out everyday!
REALITY
SUMMER: LOCAL & SECRET LOCALE
Whether it’s a tropical island or a local spot down the road, fun
in the sun can be had anywhere! Local beaches, lakes and even water parks are
great ways to enjoy a sunny afternoon! Many places offer other activities from
sailing classes, to snorkeling and miniature golf, so the whole family can enjoy
the day wet or dry!
CELEBRITY
SUMMER BIRTHDAY PARTY: ALL-OUT KIDS BIRTHDAY PARTY
What kid wouldn't want a party with professional acrobats and
circus performers as the entertainment? Children's birthday parties have come a
long way from ice cream, cake, and pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey. Real Housewives
of Beverly Hills star Taylor Armstrong recently spent $60,000 on a party for
her 4-year-old daughter! If that’s their birthday party, I can’t imagine what a
Sweet Sixteen would cost!
REALITY SUMMER BIRTHDAY PARTY:
DIY AROUND THE WORLD BIRTHDAY PARTY
My mom did this for me as a kid and I loved it! Send out a
postcard invitation for an "Around the World" themed party! Create
stations with activities related to different cultures, such as a piñata or
practicing with chopsticks. Serve foreign inspired cuisine such as chocolate croissants and tacos! With more than enough countries to choose from, the
possibilities are endless!
Make sure to stop by and follow along on the blog :)
