Summer is our favorite time of year to visit Chicago! Make sure to stop by the @skydeckchicago for killer views of the city. πŸ™ Have you been? #chicago πŸ“· @zachfack + @chelseakauai #whimsysoul ⁣ 56 0
In Hawaii: living in a swimsuit all day, every day. I never felt more confident in my body than on this island. All 175 pounds, all the curves, all the scars, the stretch marks (And then, of course, all the sunburns and awkward tan lines! πŸ˜‚) This summer, say no to anxiety and yes to yourself, just the way you are. ❀ Today's tip for feeling confident is a little goofy but stick with me here. Put on a swimsuit, go stand in front of the mirror, turn on a Beyonce & do a little dance. As you're moving & jiggling (because all bodies jiggle!) tell yourself things like "Wurk it girl" "You HOT" "Who dis hottie?!" "You slaying Queen!" Your body can hear everything you tell it, so it's really important to talk to yourself like you talk to your best friend. Support, positivity & lots of love. - @thewhimsysoul ⁣ 63 2

As you know, my husband and I grew up in Wisconsin but moved to San Francisco about 4 years ago. We've been getting a LOT of questions lately about what it's like living in San Francisco & things we wished we knew before moving across the country. 310 8
Dear SF heatwave: I'm not used to sweating this much but I do love being able to comfortably walk around in a mini skirt. 😘 I know I complain, but #karlthefog doesn't have to come back just yet. β € 256 11

Not a bad view for an evening walk. 😍 Robin & I have been making an effort to take long daily walks (our fave form of exercise!) We pick a new place in the city, so we're always combining exploring and healthy habits. Just a reminder that working out doesn't just mean a fitness class or being a gym rat! There are no "rules" for self-care, do what you like doing and what makes you feel good. I hate running, so I don't do that, but I find other ways, like evening walks and hikes, that I do enjoy! You do you, girl! πŸ™Œ 1K 23

On our bucket list: the annual Sugar Hill Lupine Festival in New Hampshire to see these rolling hillsides filled with flowers in person! Have you been? πŸ“· @vasilijpshelenskyphotography⁣ 33 2
Stunning Cenote in Tulum. πŸ’¦@justinavanessa shared her interesting story behind this shot: "The first day we arrived we signed up for a cenote tour and one of the tentative cenotes was Grand Cenote β€” the desolate, clear blue waterhole with stairs that I’ve seen in so many photos. When we arrived we found the place to be totally swamped with tourists snorkeling and we didn’t see the clear blue water that we were expecting. We thought our guides had sent us to a cenote that was a tourist trap (this wouldn’t be the first time; we got duped in Thailand as well). We left the cenote feeling defeated. On the very last day of our trip, we decided to try for that cenote one last time. Hours before our flight, we jumped in a taxi and told the driver to take us to Grand Cenote. When we saw that he took us to the exact entrance as the last one we thought, β€œNot again!” But we paid our entrance fee and went in again. With closer attention, we found an alternative entrance on the side and there it was... that crystal blue body of water we were looking for. So moral of the story: when visiting Grand Cenote, go to the entrance on the left hand side πŸ˜‚" #tulum⁣ 38 1
