I've always hated this time of the year: it's super nice outside, summer is still in the air, but you can't help but dread the fact that school is happening in a week or two. While school is no longer a thing for me now, I still can't help but remember how much the countdown to a new school year tormented me...

Hula Hoop Heaven at Vert Prana
