8 simple steps to achieve the perfect PICNIC

Summer is best enjoyed OUTSIDE. You don't necessarily have to travel; you can simply take a trip to the nearest park or garden and have an amazing time. Here are 8 essential tips to achieve a picture-perfect picnic. Pack trays or wooden boards. You run the risk of not finding a flat enough space. This way, drinks won’t spill, and you’ll be more comfortable. Sunset colored beach picnic on the isle of Formentera, Spain at @carolina_ferrer_ & my Slow Living + Photography retreat by the sea this past June. We served a tasting of @torreswines— #viñaesmeralda, #torresdecasta, #altosibericos, and #pazodasbruxas—along with seasonal, Spanish fare by chef @studio_neon & snacks from @lacalaalbertadria (the best clams...I die!).

A picnic isn't a picnic without this cliché! . The Bee Eco Wrap I received as a souvenir may look like a cute placemat at first glance, but it’s actually a reusable food wrap! Its ingredients are beeswax and jojoba oil, making it safe for wrapping food. Perfect for picnics or wrapping treats for friends! . . #beeeco#wrap#picnic#outdoor#candlewickpr#ラップ#オーガニック#ピクニック#アウトドア#ソトアソビ#週末 A photo posted by 🌿Y U R I E🌿 (@yuriexx67) on August 3, 2016 at 4:02 PDT Pair your dessert with a good wine.

You can take a GOOD BOOK, the one you’ve always wanted to read but never had the time.
