Chic vs. Geek: Backyard Summer Fun

Students are heading back to school, but it’s not too late to seize the waning days of summer — from the comfort of your backyard!

CHIC (PEARL)

I like to go romantic and relaxing! Bask in the warm summer nights with a movie under the stars. Make yourself comfortable and project a summer classic. Just don’t forget the popcorn! Want to treat yourself? Turn your outdoor space into a spa with relaxing mud masks and body scrubs. Detox and exfoliate while safely soaking up some Vitamin D. Or pitch a tent in the backyard and line it with pillows and blankets or a big air mattress for a romantic getaway — at home.

GEEK (KEVIN)

As you might’ve guessed, for me, everything is much better with food. Bring the gourmet to the great outdoors with campfire fondue! Gather around the firepit — real or gas — melt your favorite delicacies, and serve them alongside fresh fruits and veggies. Make the fondue sweet or savory using cheese or chocolate. Speaking of chocolate, three simple ingredients and an open flame add up to the summer's most iconic treat and my favorite outdoor dessert: s’mores!
