Who doesn’t enjoy drinking coconut water under a palm tree during a hot summer’s day?

That’s exactly what I wish I were doing right now, next to the pool and blasting Miley Cyrus’ «Party in the USA.» This temperature puts me in the mood for sipping mocktails and going shopping for a new bathing suit. Walking the streets full of palm trees while doing that is one of the most beautiful and relaxing things in existence. 

The best part of summer is getting to relax and forget everything that isn’t related to the beach. We take days off from work and visit new places with our friends and family (or by ourselves, why not). The singing birds, the coconuts, and the palm trees are there to keep us company. Even if we don’t go away «on vacation,» there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy this season where we are. Pool parties with our friends are always an option, and I’ve always loved waterparks. 

The point of summer is to reconnect with nature and what is around us. If you can’t go to the beach, go to a park and sit under a tree. Look up to the sky and try to find shapes in the clouds. Take a nap while lying on the grass. Water your plants and appreciate their blooms. Heck, plant your own tree, a palm tree maybe. Just get out of the house and breath in  some fresh air. I’m sure you need it.

When you come back from your little stroll around town, get some fresh fruit and prepare yourself a nice cold smoothie. Keep relaxing while you drink that and browse through these palm tree memes! They’re fresh, funny, relaxing, and beautiful. Just what you need right now.
