IT’S SUMMER!!! Well I mean, it’s still February. But it’s 45 degrees! So whip out the short sleeve shirts and the ripped jeans because the snow is melting away and the streets are getting a little busier. But how do we take advantage of this warm spell, since it could change at any moment? Here is a list of my current favorite “It’s summer but not really summer” city activities.

1. Plant Shopping - with an iced coffee in hand. I recently moved into a new apartment and my goal is to become a plant mom. I recently went to Plantshed with a friend and had the absolute best time. They have locations all over the city, and many of their locations have a glorious coffee bar so you can sip your iced oatmilk latte whilst admiring their beautiful collection of plants. And when you find the one you love, you can happily carry it home without having to pay for an Uber - because no snow!

2. Picnics! In the park! We can finally do this again - thank you Jesus. Grab your pod, divide the shopping list, and head to Whole Foods. Then pick your favorite Central Park (or any city park) spot and enjoy. I highly suggest bringing a speaker as well so you can play Ariana Grande’s Positions Deluxe album too because, duh.

3. Prep for actual summer. Now is the time to get your beach body ready - and I’m not talking weight loss because, ew. I’m talking skin, because who doesn’t want to be silky smooth for summer? At UPKEEP we offer tons of incredible laser packages in sets of 6 or 9. With laser it takes multiple treatments to see results, which is why packages are the best way to go - and UPKEEP is currently offering 50% off of Aesthetic Packages - I know. So you can get a full package for the price of a single session in some cases! Insane. Check out our website for all of our laser packages, and feel free to shoot us a text for exact pricing!

and that’s how you UPKEEP,
