The first day of summer may be June 21st, but I think summer came a little earlier this year! I’m already stocking my fridge with watermelon and popsicles, lathering on the sunscreen, and hopping in the pool every chance I get. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that I’m already planning a few pool parties — what better way to beat the heat than to soak up some sunshine with friends and family? To celebrate the start of summer, I wrote up a few of my best tips for hosting a pool party this season on the Whole Foods Market blog. I also love their roundup of perfect summer grill recipes and can’t wait to try them all!
