23 Summer Cocktails That Will Help You Escape The Heat

This summer has been a hot and humid one, but the muggy weather only makes these cocktails taste better. Refreshing and unique, these summer cocktails feature lots of fruit in combination with complimentary alcohol.

1. Ginger Peach Soda

Refreshing in a tall glass.

2. Raspberry Gin Rickey

So sweet, so smooth.

3. Mojito Slushies

You can't go wrong with a mojito, frozen or not.

4. Rosé Sorbet

As if rosé wasn't already delicious enough!

5. Blueberry Rum Smash

Mason jars are key here.

6. Manhattan Ice Cream Float



This one's on the heavier side, but who doesn't love ice cream floats?

7. Cajun Lemonade

Secret: southern-influenced drinks are the most refreshing.

8. Bellini Moonshiners


This drink alone is a valid excuse to throw a party.

9. Cranberry Vanilla Moscow Mule


A twist on the traditional Moscow mule that everyone loves.

10. Frozen Dark & Stormy

Dark and Stormies: summer-ified.

Because pineapple and tequila were actually meant to go together.

12. Strawberry Basil Bourbon Lemonade

You had me at strawberry. And at basil and bourbon.

13. Apple, Lemon and Gin Shandy

14. Moscato Slush

Wine slushies are the hot new cold thing.

This reminds me of a punch my dad occasionally makes. I've nicknamed it death punch (in a good way).

16. Sour Cherry Gin Smash

The perfect balance of sour and sweet.

17. Sweet Tea Sangria


This southern treat somehow just got better.

18. Sparkling Blueberry Lemonade

I know, I know...more lemonade. But arguably, one can never have enough lemonade.

19. Blackberry Champagne Float


20. Salty Dog Cocktail


This is a tasty, unique grapefruit-flavored cocktail.

21. Strawberry Punch


Because Strawberries are *the best*.

22. Mixed Berry Limoncello Sangria


Who doesn't love a summery sangria?

23. Prickly Pear Margarita

You may never have thought of pear as a go-to margarita flavor, but don't doubt this lovely drink.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
