I have a half-written post that I'll be sharing here soon all about my recent experiences transitioning from a go-go-go lifestyle to a (at least somewhat) simpler, calmer one.  I talk about my many years of constant traveling, events, career-obsessed adventures and workaholic-fueled fears of missing out.  I also talk about how I'm entering a new phase of my life where the things that for so long took top priority no longer do - where success as the ultimate goal is being replaced by learning how to feel content in just "being" (along with how to experience delight in the simplicities of everyday life).  Of course, it's much more complicated than that (I am a Capricorn after all), but that's the jist. 

Today, I decided to focus on some of the lighter parts of this somewhat heavy subject via some fun little treasures I've been eyeing for summertime.  These are the types of things that I find to be the perfect simple pleasures in the warmer, lazier months - goodies that supplement the enjoyment of a time of year when living is naturally easy.  Simple summer pleasures, of course, don't need to involve material things.  But a little indulgence or present to yourself is a great way to add to the wonderful, at least in my eyes.
