Evanescence

 ☆


Welcome to August! Does the heat have you feeling stressed out, grumpy, irritable, or is it inducing anxious dreams or extreme thoughts about your mortality? Well don't sweat it, literally! It's only the height of summer rearing its ugly head. So grab a cold beverage, turn on a fan, dig a hole, or find an air-conditioned refuge. Crank up the love, put on a smile, and this will be over before we know it. Evanescence is not an option.
