I have always been one to look as far ahead as I could when it comes to planning and taking vacations. It makes life more exciting to have something to look forward to, and plan on exploring a new place. After our trip to Vegas, the rest of the year is pretty quiet (no complaints of course, I feel very fortunate to have traveled as much as I have this year)! But being the vacation planner I am, I am already talking to my boyfriend about where we should go next. In the meantime, I’m vacationing on my own terms.

I try to take time for myself at least once a week during the work week rather than stressing or spending my night blogging, working out, running errands, cleaning or any other things I need to cross off my (never-ending) list. During the summertime, one the easiest ways for me to relax is to go out by the grilling area right by the indoor pool and relax in the sunshine.

Palm Breeze has two delicious tropical flavors of sparkling beverages – Ruby Red Citrus and Pineapple Mandarin Orange. The Ruby Red Citrus has a refreshing, crisp flavor, while the Pineapple Mandarin Orange satisfies those sweet cravings. Sipping on one of these while enjoying the sun makes me feel like I’m back on the beaches in Miami or out by the MGM Grand pool in Vegas!

I think it is possible to feel like you are on vacation every day, you just have to give yourself the chance to relax and enjoy what’s around you. It may not be beaches, but I love my life in Minnesota and taking my own mini vacations helps me get through until my next trip. Sipping on something refreshing and delicious makes these mini vacations even better.

Check your local stores for Palm Breeze and try these flavors out for yourself – you will not be disappointed!
