4.1 Hot Girl Summer, anyone?
I think it’s time for some classic Emma June wisdom. The weather is heating up, right? We’re starting to sweat? We’re starting to realize that wearing sunscreen is a necessity? That means it’s nearly time for… Summer attire. Swimsuits. Shorts. Tank tops. The works. I feel like I talk about the whole swimsuit-season thing a…

3.17 Too Confessed to be Stressed
Imagine you’re feeling yourself. You decide to take a selfie. Your Instagram page has been seriously lacking, so you feel like you want to post something.

3.3 A Well-Documented Quarantine Situation
I haven’t been as inspired lately (as you can obviously tell, based on my over-a-month-long radio silence), but we’re all in a weird place, right? It feels like one minute, we were all out and about, kibitzing with our friends over coffee, meeting up with our sub-par Tinder dates for sushi with a side of…

3.2 Keep It Together, Emma June
I wanted to write a post that would be silly and make you giggle and maybe forget about the whole COVID-19 situation for a couple of minutes. That’s sort of my niche, and writing about serious stuff doesn’t always come naturally to me, but I have been thinking for a while about what I could…
