If summer had a love language, we’re convinced it would be slow mornings, sunshine on your face, and the sound of laughter echoing across the lake. At Courts & Couture, we’re intentionally leaning into this season and discovering how to slow down and soak in the sun—with connection, joy, and a few of our favorite things.
How to Slow Down and Soak in the Sun
Here’s how we’re pressing pause and savoring the season this month—and how you can too:
Summer Reads & Sweet Conversations
One of the simplest ways to slow your pace? Find a good book and a cozy spot. We are diving into the newest lighthearted summer read, Beach House Rules, by Kristy Woodson Harvey. We got to meet her at Quailridge Books last week on her book tour! Check out the snapshot of us at the book signing! So fun!
Whether you’re reading lakeside or poolside, we love this gentle invitation to tune out the noise and tune into something delightful. And of course—nothing beats the friendships built over shared stories!
Tip: Reading is one of the easiest ways to learn how to slow down and soak in the sun—mentally and physically.
Lakeside Music Magic with a House Concert
This month, we’re hosting the band One Block Over for a lakeside house concert and BBQ. With twinkle lights, laughter, and bare feet on the deck, it’s the kind of night that reminds us how beautiful it is to simply be. Slowing down doesn’t have to mean silence—it can be music, an outdoor dinner, and making memories with the people who matter most. Come join us on Saturday, June 28th 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm. RSVP here!
Make a Mojito & Watch the Sunset
Nothing says summer like a cold drink and a glowing sunset. Whether you’re floating on a boat or enjoying an evening with friends, here’s one of our favorite ways to celebrate the moment:
Refreshing Mojito Recipe
Ingredients:
10 fresh mint leaves
1/2 lime, cut into wedges
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 cup ice cubes
1 1/2 oz white rum
1/2 cup club soda
Instructions:
Muddle mint and lime in a glass.
Add sugar and more lime wedges. Muddle again.
Fill glass with ice, pour rum, and top with club soda.
Stir and garnish with mint. Sip slowly and enjoy.
This is our favorite way to savor the moment – one sip at a time.
Summer Sunday Soirées
Want a fun way to enjoy fitness and friendship? Our Summer Sunday Soirées are the perfect mix of pickleball and community. We meet monthly for open play and then head to dinner together. No matter your skill level, it’s a delightful way to slow down, connect, and savor the season – on and off the court. RSVP for our next one on Sunday, June 22nd at 4:00 pm – we’d love to count you in!
💛 A Season for Slowing Down
Whether it’s a simple mojito, a great book, or playing pickleball with friends, summer is the perfect time to discover how to slow down. At Courts & Couture, we’re here for all of it—creating space for women to connect, recharge, and make memories that matter.
So go ahead—read the book, take the walk, sip the drink, play the game.
This is your permission slip to soak it all in!
