Summer means many things, but it’s almost always the perfect time to plan meet-ups (or better yet, reunions) with friends and family. One day you end up at the beach, or the pool, or just chilling on a terrace, catching up on life. And there are always those moments: laughter, connection, friendship, love.

That’s what life is really about — creating moments that turn into memories that last a long time… or maybe forever.

Like that road trip you’ve been thinking about — even if it’s just around the island — with your bestie. Do it! Who says you can’t have your own Thelma & Louise moment (okay, minus the cliff part!) and end up belting out a banger from the radio at full volume? No one!

Those are the moments. The memories you’ll take with you. Whether it’s with your bestie, someone you haven’t seen in a while, or that work mate who’s now part of your inner circle.

Now picture this:
You meet up one day, head to your go-to supermarket — (we all hear that jingle in our heads, don’t we?) — and grab some fruit, ice, a few sodas, some salads (or hey, why not stuff to make an epic sandwich), and of course, ice cream. Don’t forget the cooler. Seriously, that’s vital.

Once you’re out of the shop and everything’s packed in the cooler, comes the most important part: the PLAYLIST.
Because you’re not just going to listen to one song on repeat (yes, we’ve already had our “that diva moment”)… Or maybe not! #WeListenButWeDontJudge

Your playlist says a lot about your trip. It sets the mood — or the moods. We all have our favorite songs, our go-to genres. But trust me, there are always some shared bangers that turn the whole ride into an impromptu karaoke casting. Okay, maybe not singers… divas. #YesWeAre

Sing it out! Let it go…. 🙂

That moment of pure empowerment, singing (or pretending we know how), laughing, sharing glances (but eyes on the road, please!) — that’s the good stuff. And the trip’s only just started.

Now imagine that for 45 minutes or however long the drive lasts.
Conversations will flow — you just know it. Some classics: “Remember when…”, “So I’ve been thinking…”, “OMG, did you hear about…?” And on and on. Memories from the past, moments from now, dreams for the future…

That’s happiness. Creating unforgettable moments, making memories, living fully in the now.

Because friendships — like any good relationship — need care too. It’s not just about showing up in the hard times. It’s a call, a hug, a laugh, a lunch in the park, a bit of gossip, inside jokes, sharing memes and stickers, catching a musical at the last minute, a goodbye hug in the middle of the street, looking into their eyes and saying:
“You’re totally nuts, but I love you, girl.”

A hug gives you energy, motivation, shows love… HUG EACH OTHER!

That’s what summer is about. Well, summer… and autumn, winter, spring…

That’s what life is about.

So don’t overthink it. Call your bestie. Grab your group. Go laugh. Go to a concert, a beach, a pool, go on a holiday, or to that cute village market.

Whatever it is — just do it.

You’re creating memories and unforgettable moments — the best ones!
P.S. And make sure you tell us all about them!
