Longest Day, Warmest Nights: Celebrating the Summer Solstice!

Jun 20, 2024

Summer is here! Break out the sunscreen, dust off your flip flops, and get ready for longer days, balmy nights, and endless possibilities. It’s finally here – the summer solstice, the day marking the astronomical start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere!

This special day, usually around June 20th or 21st, brings the longest daylight hours of the year. As the Earth’s tilt reaches its maximum angle towards the sun, the sun appears higher in the sky, bathing us in its warmth for an extended period. While meteorologists define summer starting on June 1st, the solstice holds a special significance, marking a turning point in the Earth’s annual cycle.

The summer solstice has been celebrated for millennia by cultures around the world. Ancient civilizations like Stonehenge’s builders in England aligned their monuments with the solstice sun, marking the passage of time and the importance of the sun’s life-giving power.

Today, the summer solstice continues to be a time for celebration and reflection. Here are some ways you can embrace this special day:

  • Connect with Nature: Step outside and soak up the extended sunlight. Have a picnic in the park, go for a hike, or simply relax in your backyard and enjoy the warm evening.
  • Gather with Loved Ones: Host a bonfire under the (hopefully) clear night sky. Share stories, sing songs, and enjoy the company of friends and family.
  • Embrace New Beginnings: The summer solstice is a symbolic time of growth and abundance. Use this energy to set intentions for the summer months ahead. What do you want to achieve? Where do you want your personal growth to lead?
  • Light the Way: In some traditions, bonfires and fireworks are lit to celebrate the sun’s light. You can incorporate fire into your solstice celebration by lighting candles or creating a small, safe bonfire.
  • Explore Traditions: Research how different cultures have celebrated the summer solstice throughout history. You might be inspired to incorporate some of these traditions into your own celebration.

The summer solstice is a reminder of the sun’s power and the beauty of our planet’s natural cycles. It’s a day to slow down, appreciate the present moment, and get excited for the adventures that summer brings. So, step outside, soak up the sunshine, and celebrate the longest day of the year!

My husband suffers from severe leg cramps. And not restless leg syndrome. I stoped to talk to Nikki at HOPE LIVES! I was tell her about my husbands horrible leg cramps. She asked me if he would use PROPER CANNA NATURALS? The one Ms. Nikki suggested was a cream the name is Rocky Mountain chill. It’s a muscle gel. I brought it home he looked at it two or three days tried it and almost instantly it took his cramps away. He spent two days with no leg cramps whatsoever using that cream. We ran out of the sample I have ordered the big bottle and I can’t wait for it to get here. It was hard to imagine that some thing all natural could do what it did for him and he feel better and get sleep. Not only him but me because he was not up and down all night . Thank you Nikki for the recommendation. It’s the best. I will be looking into their other products. Sincerely Mikie

I love my monthly subscription to Proper Canna Naturals! The soft gels are part of my daily routine and the Rocky Mountain Chill feels good on a sore back. All of their products are made with Organic Colorado hemp and lots of love 🥰

I recently switched from another big box brand of CBD oil to Proper Canna. Within a few weeks I knew I had made a really great decision. My back use to hurt every day of the week. I have about 1-2 days a month after heavy exercise now that I will get moderate pain. The customer service is stellar and the product ships to your home very quickly. I love the packaging and supporting a small business, all while feeling better inside and out. I do have to rave about the Rocky Mountain Chill Gel. It can kick a headache is 10 minutes! My husband and I both absolutely love it. I would highly recommend Proper Canna to anyone

I stopped by this last Friday to try one of their CBD tinctures. Justin was AMAZING! We talked about the different products, and I ended up getting a bundle with the Rocky Mountain Freeze lotion. WOW I am very impressed with the quality of both. Better then other brands I have tried! I recommend them to EVERYONE! Support Fort Collins local!

Tried a few of their products, and am really impressed at the quality! The dreamsicle tincture has really helped my sleep quality, which helps with my overall wellness. Met the owner, Dan, and such a stand up guy too! You can tell he is so passionate about his products, and after trying them myself, I can see why! Would highly recommend Proper Canna Naturals!!

As an avid proponent of grass roots businesses that do it right. Not only have I tried most of the products Proper Canna produces but I have incorporated most of their products into my lifestyle, permanently. The muscle gel has come through for me when my body aches after an intense yoga session or a long bike ride and if I’m cramping. The tincture supports my overall well being and keeps me focused and on point.

I use the cooling muscle gel and love it! As a triathlete there are days that every inch of my body aches and the cooling muscle gel helps tremendously with recovery. I’ve tried other products and this is by far the best!
