The Summer of Yes Stack
An Experience Stack for Play, Presence & Making This Summer One You'll Actually Remember
Consider this your go-to guide for a summer that feels refreshing, joyful, and deeply alive.
Let’s be real: you don’t need an expensive plane ticket, a passport, or a 5-star resort to have an unforgettable season.
Sometimes the most refreshing summers are woven out of slow mornings, sea breezes, books that make you laugh out loud, bright creative afternoons, and finally giving yourself permission to say yes.
The Summer of Yes Stack isn't about curating a picture-perfect aesthetic or rushing through a summer bucket list.
It’s an invitation to slow down, soak up the sunshine, and make memories you'll actually remember.
🌅 Morning Anchor: Set Your Daily Vibe
Before the day fills with notifications, heat, or outdoor plans, anchor yourself in quiet stillness with The Morning Anchor Journal.
- The Ritual: Spend a few peaceful minutes deciding how you want today to feel—not what you need to achieve. Is today for spontaneous adventure, deep rest, or pure, unadulterated joy?
- The Vibe: Choosing your intention early, before the rest of the world decides your pace for you.
🪞 Self-Care Ritual: Tender Devotion
Your skincare routine isn't just a daily checklist or a chore to rush through, instead it is a healthy important art of taking care of your entire body.
Remember to read the Ashlee Shares the Skincare Essentials before you cleanse, hydrate, and care for your skin.
- The Ritual: Treat your skincare routine as a sacred moment of tenderness toward your body. Slow down, breathe, and turn daily care into a conversation with yourself.
- The Vibe: Caring for your body isn't a reward you have to earn—it’s an act of pure devotion.
🌊 Midday Adventure: Reconnect with Your Playful Side
Summer isn't just a calendar season—it’s an open invitation.
Read a chapter of The Ashlee Chronicles: The One at the Sea Cliffs before heading outside, and then go chase your own refreshingly wild moments.
- The Ritual: Go explore. Whether that means climbing ocean rocks, finding a brand-new coastal café, walking down an unfamiliar trail, or chasing sunsets, give yourself permission to wander.
- The Vibe: Reconnecting with that carefree, adventurous version of yourself who laughs too loudly and stays out until the sun goes down.
🎨 Afternoon Oasis: Slow Down in the Shade
When the afternoon sun hits its peak and the heat settles in, retreat to the shade with a selection from The Creative Colouring Library.
- The Ritual: Pour yourself something icy-cold, turn on your favorite laid-back playlist, and open your coloring book. No productivity goals, no pressure, no expectations—just color for the absolute pleasure of it.
- The Vibe: Pure mental rest. Letting your mind soften and reset while the rest of the world speeds by.
📖 Evening Escape: Pick Your Summer Craving
End every golden summer evening by immersing yourself in another world.
Choose the exact literary flavor your soul is craving:
- ❤️ Play Me: If you're in the mood for a sweet, playful romance.
- 🌴 The Chase: If you want witty banter, high-energy laughter, and adventure.
- 🔥 Too Hot Collection: If you're craving something a little steamier for those warm summer nights.
- 📚 Belinda's Secret & Other Stories: If you're looking for rich, emotional, and unforgettable storytelling.
- The Vibe: Getting blissfully lost in a great story as the stars come out.
🌙 Nighttime Memory: Capture the Magic
Before you drift off to sleep, open The Very Demure Journal to preserve a piece of today.
- The Ritual: Jot down one specific detail you don't want to fade—a hilarious conversation, the way the ocean smelled, a glowing sunset, or a sudden burst of inspiration.
- The Vibe: Summer passes in a flash. Writing down these quiet moments keeps them with you forever.
