You Know It’s Summer When…

Summer will always have a nostalgic effect on me. It’s characteristically whimsical and magical and filled with possibilities. Growing up, I spent most long days and nights at the pool reapplying SPF 30 to my golden skin or driving with the windows down listening to the radio with my girlfriends while we unabashedly flirted with boys.

It used to be that once I was let out of school, Summer had officially started. But now that I’m a full blown adult it has a bit of a different feeling. There are a few things that signify the start of Summer.
You know it’s summer when….
1. I can’t leave the house or step outside without accumulating a sweat mustache
2. You start planning for summer vacations
3. I wish that I’d pay more attention to my “summer body”
4. You crave popsicles
5. You forget what day of the week it is
6. You perpetually smell like sunless tanner
7. Summer jams give you life
8. Pool parties are the best kind of parties
9. Baseball games are in full swing
10. It’s festival season
Anyone that knows me, knows that music festivals are my happy place. I do love concerts, but music festivals allow you to float between various forms of music and help you to discover artists you’d never think to listen to before. Plus, they are just the most fun you can possibly have in a short amount of time.
And now it’s finally festival season.

Couldn’t hit up the festival without my AT&T GoPhone!
One frustration most people have at music festivals is connectivity. But with AT&T you can always stay connected, whether you want to Instagram or Snapchat or just text a friend. AT&T is hitting all of Summer’s music festivals so you can stay connected with GoPhone. You want to be able to live in the moment and not try to get your phone working the whole time, that’s what GoPhone does. It helps you to get back to the music and allows you to break free from contracts.
I attended a new one this year that I’ve never been to before: Riverbend Festival. Held on the banks of the river in Chattanooga, there are multiple stages with ample opportunities to hear great music and roam around the grounds checking out the lovely little boats docked nearby.
I partnered with AT&T to go the festival and see what it was all about. It’s usually hard to get a signal or the perfect shot at a music festival, but I had no fear with my AT&T GoPhone. Plus, the setup at Riverbend makes it very easy to get around. And the views aren’t bad.

 Riverbend is different from many festivals out there. It’s celebrating 35 years and has 5 stages and takes place over 8 days. It starts later in the day, around 6pm with artists that play until about 11:30 pm. About 650,000 people attend over the 8 days with an eclectic group of performers on stage.

I got to hang at the AT&T booth and try out all the GoPhone’s awesome features while keeping cool and grabbing some new sunglasses.

GoPhone is part of AT&T’s 4G LTE network which reaches more than 300 million people. GoPhone IS a smartphone! You can choose from the latest models or it’s compatible with most phones, including iPhones. GoPhone has a plan for everyone.

Whether you live nearby or have to travel from far away, put Riverbend Music Festival on your festival bucket list. It’s the ideal
place for a music junkie or anyone looking for a good time.

Since festival season has officially started you can win your own AT&T GoPhone! Just enter using the Rafflecopter below:

  • It’s the LAST day to enroll in Instagram for Success!!! I only offer this course ONCE A YEAR. Join 3,000 other students who are killing it on Instagram. I want to help you grow, gain engagement, and monetize your account.
But Instagram is MUCH MORE than just followers and likes. You need a strategy to understand how to grow your Instagram, make authentic connections, and find your purpose. My course, Instagram for Success gives you all the tools and strategies you need. But it’s closing TODAY. Link in bio for all the details on the course.
I KNOW this can help you- no matter what stage you’re in. #heleneinitaly
  • Spring, not trying to rush you but you can come on now. I’ve talked to the other seasons, they’re fine with it. Anyone else feeling a little stir crazy with winter weather? 🤪🤪🤪 P.S. getting a tourist free shot in front of the castle isn’t hard- especially if you get there early. We got there smack in the middle of the day and as long as you shoot up close you’re fineeee #helenelovesgermany
  • Once, when we lived in Nashville, we went camping with our friends. We were sitting around the camp fire and I talked about how invested I was in the Harry Potter books. I was VERY late to the game and just started reading them (yes, only 3 years or so ago🙈. WARNING: if you haven’t yet there is a spoiler ahead.) I was on book 4 and talking about how much I liked Snape. Without warning my friend said, “Oh yeah, Snape kills Dumbledore.” To this day I will never ever forgive him for it 😂 Watching the half blood prince today it made me think of when I almost killed @crendanbox. Forget don’t forgive (right @saramay101?!)
  • I would not be a full time content creator if it wasn’t for a class I took 4 years ago. I wasn’t making money but I just knew I HAD to do something for myself. That course changed everything for me. I took me years to realize this but... it’s OKAY to invest in yourself!
My course, Instagram for Success is officially open. It’s a course I’ve built and perfected over the past 4 years. I only open it up once a year. I’d love for you to join me and thousands of others who have sincerely grown their Instagram with passion and purpose. Link in bio or stories to learn more 🙌🏻
  • While y’all have cute stories of love and flowers my forever favorite Valentine’s story is what I like to call the “Love Comma.”⁣
On V-day 2007ish, Michael visited home from Texas A&M University. We had been dating long distance (we started dating senior year of high school) and I was thrilled beyond belief to To celebrate valentine’s. In my little red dress and lipstick, I went over to his Mom’s house and handed him my handmade Valentine's gift (a picture of us in a frame in which I wrote all our inside jokes around the border.)⁣
His eyes widen as he moves into the living room. “What are you doing?” I ask. I hear him fumbling, and finally say, "Uh Uh UHHH, In HERE. Your um, Valentine’s gift.” I walk in to beautiful light pink roses. Yay! Oh, how sweet, I loved them.⁣
⁣
At the end of the night, I'm about to⁣
leave, and pick up the roses to take them home. His brow furrowed and his his lips pursed as he looks at the bouquet and says, "Oh Helene, just leave them here." I'm so confused, they're my flowers, I want to take them home where I can see them. We go back and forth about why I should leave them there, I'm puzzled. Finally I get it: “These are your Mom’s flowers... aren’t they?” ⁣
“Yes.” He vows to make it up to me tomorrow. ⁣
The next morning he comes to my house. He parks his red truck, which he affectionately called Delilah, and I spy him out the window sitting in the car far longer than I deemed necessary. He finally comes in, and hands me a card. Michael did not write a single word other than, "Love, Michael D. Sula." I look up at him, wide-eyed and say, "All you think of me is Love COMMA Michael?"⁣
⁣
Needless to say, Michael always remember to write a little more than "Love Comma Michael" in a card. And I try to not take V-day so seriously, and just remember it's a "love comma" not the whole story. I know that's a little sappy, but it's true. Happy Valentine’s Day y’all! #heleneandmichael
  • They say your lowest point in life might lead to your highest. I would never have believed that if it didn’t happen to me. Sharing my journey to becoming a full-time “travel blogger” on the Blog today. Honestly, when I started out I had absolutely NO intention of blogging full time. Or even traveling! But sometimes your path shakes out differently (and even better) than you imagine. Link in bio or stories and lots of old blog pics to boot! #helyeahheidelberg
  • “You must strive to find your own voice. Because the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all. Thoreau said, "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation." Don't be resigned to that. Break out!” - Dead Poets Society
SUPER PUMPED about today’s upcoming Instagram Workshop! Talking about finding your voice, growing authentic engagement, photo editing, and my all time favorite secret hack for growing your Instagram and I promise you it has nothing to do with spending hours on insta. Can’t wait y’all!! Promise my hair will not look as crazy as it currently appears on stories. Maybe. #heleneinlithuania
  • Sometimes this app makes us feel like we aren't enough. We need more photos, content, poses, likes, followers, clothes, experiences. I think Instagram is often the lens in which we see the world.
We see ourselves through our Instagram. So if it isn’t performing well we often take that personally. And while I love this platform to share my message, I also am fully aware that it can feel damaging. I think (hope) it's a place where we feel inspired and want to share our best selves, but also showcase those moments that are hard. Because really life is about all of those things and that makes us who we are.
P.S. TOMORROW is the day of my live Insta training and I promise to get deep on how we can find real meaning on Instagram, grow organically, and create a true following. Anyone can have followers, but a community that cares and builds you up is a true measure of success☝🏻
