To ensure that your bathing suit bottom doesn't snag, drape a large beach towel over the table's benches. Clear lip balm with a moderate SPF makes the perfect party favor.

Lately I've been on a huge cucumber kick. They're light and refreshing — perfect for a hot summer day.
I grew up eating this salad at my mother's table, and it's still one of my favorite dishes to start off a light meal. The flavor profile is tart, the texture crunchy, the combination so simple, yet so satisfying.

An ice bucket is essential to any home bar. Since I'm trying to make my bar perfectly party ready, I've decided to invest in one. You helped me by heading off to market in search of a functional yet stylish ice bucket. You bookmarked your ice bucket finds in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, Ice Bucket. Pink is my favorite color, so naturally I love this raspberry-hued ice bucket that sofi saved. This easy-to-clean bucket is ideal for Summer entertaining. Divine discovery, sofi!
