Happy Labor Day!
Well, here we are. Labor Day – the unofficial end of summer – has arrived. Whether you’re working out, chilling out, beaching or grilling, I hope you savor every second of the holiday.

If you’re looking to make the season last a little longer, maybe you’ll download one or two and create a new playlist for your workout or cookout.
Here’s wishing everyone a happy and safe Labor Day ahead and here’s to a whole September filled with new chances to have fun, be fit and feel fabulous!

Summer Friday
Since we’re allegedly in the midst of the lazy days of summer and I’m on the verge of wrapping up an anything-but-easy-breezy work week, I’m definitely ready to be super lazy this weekend!
It looks like Mother Nature will be cooperating with my beach and gal-pal plans here in New York. Since chilling out is on my weekend agenda, I thought it was a good time to offer my top 10 all-time favorite fun summer anthems.
- “The Boys of Summer,” Don Henley
- “All Summer Long,” Kid Rock
- “Summertime, Summertime,” Nocera
- “Summer Girls,” Dino
- “Suddenly Last Summer,” The Motels
- “Summertime” DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince

- “Miami,” Will Smith (I know the word summer isn’t in this song, but I just think summer when I hear it!)
Whether you’re warming up or cooling down, taking a long walk on the beach, or just hanging with family and friends in the backyard, I hope some of these songs improve the ambience for your down time.
Of course, I want to know what’s your favorite summer song?
