Dreams of a far away place, with sandy white beaches,
and charming cottages by the sea;
where one could go and spend time relaxing and refreshing
as if you were staying at a beautiful b&b,
is right where I want to spend my time in the Summertime.
This is what I immediately thought of,
on ways to refresh my bedroom
for better Summer Living with Parachute!
for better Summer Living with Parachute!
Recently, I learned about Parachute bedding, and the vision, it's entrepreneur, CEO Ariel Kaye, had of recreating the feel of an amazing hotel bedroom experience she had on a trip to Italy. She wanted to create an affordable, premium line of bedding to ensure we get our best night of sleep! Her studio is based in Venice Beach, California, and as a direct-to-consumer bedding brand, Parachute offers luxurious Egyptian cotton bed linens, woven in Italy. With Parachute, providing direct-to-consumer, the company's costs are unbelievably lower than standard retail. Another good thing to know about Parachute, they give back. They've partnered with Nothing but Nets, to provide an insecticide-treated bed net to protect from malaria-carrying mosquitoes. For every sale of their signature Venice bedding set sold, $10 is donated.
My hopes of an early fall were crushed this week,
when once again, we are experiencing another heat wave,
mixed with late afternoon intermittent rain showers,
bringing on the sweltering humidity.
Over the years of living in Arizona, I've learned how to prepare for Summer
and how to create a bedroom that is not only cool and refreshing,
but comfortable and relaxing.
With August still being a hot Summer month,
today I am sharing 5 easy ways to refresh a Bedroom for Summer.

1. Vintage fan
It's a well known fact, that temperature effects the way we sleep.
The cooler the temperature the easier and more comfortable we sleep.
Not all parts of Arizona, have central air,
and even though we do have A/C, I've found that running an oscillating fan,
helps to keep the cool air flowing.
It really helps relax and cools you down,
especially if you spend anytime out in the heat,
nothing feels better than a refreshing breeze,
as it blows through the room.

2. Crisp White Linen Sheets
There is nothing I love more after a long busy day, than to climb into smooth, white linen sheets, that feel cool and refreshing. This time of year, I usually leave off the top sheet, and opt for a thin, and airy down alternative duvet, instead of a heavy comforter or on cooler summer nights after a summer rain storm, when the temperature drops twenty or more degrees, I love to snuggle with a soft cashmere throw.

3. Soft, and Elegant Sateen Pillows
Another intersting fact about me is that I love big, comfy pillows. We have four on our bed, and I sleep with two of them. I like big, soft, cool pillows, like clouds of comfort, that I can sink into. I almost fall asleep immediately as my head hits the proverbial pillow.
4.. Romantic scented candles
Growing up in Southern California, we didn't have central air,
so at night; this is from another time,
when you could leave your windows open,
and as I drifted off to sleep,
the cool night air brought the intoxicating scent of
Nighttime Blooming Jasmine, wafting on a breeze,
its fragrance took me off to dreamland.
Using candles, creates a relaxing atmosphere with
the aromas of jasmine, lavender and orange blossom.
giving a room a more romantic feel.
5. Peaceful Wall Art
If I can't be near the beach,
then I might as well create a serene beach scene to look at.
Choosing a Wall art piece helps set a peaceful focal point to gaze at,
something that helps remind of the ocean waves as they rock you off to sleep.
