Think back to your earliest summer memory. Was it something sweet like picking strawberries in a straw hat or was it more like hot lava seat belts and CDs melting to your dashboard? 



We’ve all made it to July! This week we celebrate that by reminiscing about scorching Arizona summers and squash some myths about the Southwest. We also share summer recipe ideas, dunk on our Mom a bit, reveal a code word (shhhh, don’t tell Rebecky) and Emily re-imagines her life as Foop founder, Claire. 

WHAT WE CHAT ABOUT:




the story of Emily’s new “Almond Butter is My Jam” shirt
myths about Arizona
memories of our summers in Arizona
summer fragrances

Rebecky’s code word
