This Saturday I am going to be blessed with the second Pfizer shot, which as everyone knows means that i’m hot AF. After a long 13 months of avoiding social interaction, I am pleased to be making my debut back into society. Who knows, I might even start posting to my blog again.
As some of you may know, I recently left my job recently and have been working on creating content full-time, isn’t it hilarious that this happened once I stopped blogging? I had mentioned before that I needed to focus on where the money was, and that’s what i’ve been doing. But still, as I approach 10 years blogging, I figure it can’t hurt to give it another shot.

Anyways, if you’re trying to have a Shot Girl Summer, this is what you need.
A f*cking pedicure – Girly you and I both know it’s been way too long since your toes have seen some polish and it’s important that you take care of that ASAP. Tip your technician well since it’s been a fucking year since the last time you’ve seen her.
Rent the Runway – One of my greatest fears during the pandemic was that RTR would go away, which I know sounds dramatic but i’m dead serious. I have relied so heavily on this service as my source of joy and outfits for FIVE YEARS. Now that Shot Girl Summer is here, you’re going to want to serve up all the looks. Use my code RTRMACKENZIEN for 40% off 8 & 16 piece memberships. Don’t worry, I’ll be pushing this on my instagram in a month or two.
Sunscreen – Hot girls protect their skin. I personally like Supergoop best (Glow Screen is great for Spring!!) but I’m also very boujee. You’ll also need Megababe thigh rescue for chafing!! This is a MUST.
People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry – This is the book you should be reading on the beach this summer. It’s a friends to lovers romance novel that will send you on a trip around the world and back to Ohio. It’s my favorite romance novel of the year and I’m so excited to chat about it with you. The author is coming to visit Bad Bitch Book Club at the end of May as part of the Friends to Lovers Romance Challenge. You should pre-order the book.
Statement Swim – If you seriously think you’re going to spend this summer wearing the same black bikini you’ve had forever…. Live your truth, but the rest of us are going to be wearing bold swimsuits in bright colors and fun silhouettes. To be completely honest with you, I’m not 100% certain how I feel about all the sparkly swim out there right now, but I’m certainly not surprised to see it as influencers have been predicting a “roaring 20’s” of fashion. If you click the link at the bottom, I have some suggestions for you.
Bumble (or whatever) – What’s the fastest way to meet a lover with a boat? Dating apps! This is not the summer to text your ex, this is the summer to meet (sleep with) new “friends.” Unless you’re married like I am and you’re literally just looking for new friends. I invested in Bumble this winter knowing that you all would be using it in the Spring. Plz make my investment worthwhile, thanks!
A Visor – I know what you’re thinking, wtf Mackenzie? Here is the deal, you’re lying back in a lounge chair. You’re obviously wearing a hat, but you also want your hair up because it’s hot. A floppy hat is good for nothing but a photo opportunity. A baseball cap means that your pony is dead center and uncomfortable to lean back on. A VISOR allows you to lay back comfortably, pony (or bun) on top of your head, with your face protected from the sun. Truly so much more of a look. But let the record show, I also support the bucket hat movement. If you click the link at the bottom, I have some suggestions for you.
Funky Slides – Flip flops are so yesterday, we wear slides these days. I have personally been debating whether I want to get the Croc or Birkenstock versions for a few weeks now. On one hand, Gen-Z says Crocs are the shit, on the other hand, I’m a Birkenstock loyalist. If you click the link at the bottom, I have some suggestions for you.
Don’t forget your beach tote, your yeti coozie, a funky playlist and all of your new friends because shit is about to get popping!!!
