Longest day ever! Can’t complain about this little resting place though! Night y’all ☀️✨
Hello to everyone who leapt to tear the door open every time the sun fought through the hail storms today. You’re my people! 👋 ☀️ No way was I gonna let my @wotnotnaturals 40 SPF natural face sunscreen, BB cream + mineral makeup go to waste any longer! Come at me sunshine!!!
Stormy weather still making our swims a little bit meh! Omg that wind!!!! 💨 Thank goodness for my @toastylife_ swim coat … always waiting on the beach to give me a warm hug when I leave the water! Come on Summer, we’re well and truly ready for you!!!
Little #longneckedturtle ended up on #edithvalebeach this morning, not their usual habitat but the storms must have pushed it down river.
Wow. Hail swims are a thrill!!! Wild and wintery this morning! Did you get in today?
