Summer Fun with Dr Pepper

Hi Fashionistas,

Although I was born and raised in Germany, cold weather does not suit me. In Los Angeles it's sunny most of the year, but no better time for the beach than summer. I love the beach. My father taught me since I was a little girl to swim and till this day it's one thing I can't live without. Swimming and tanning are one of my favorite activities at the beach but no better time is spent there without some great friends and my favorite soft drink Dr Pepper. Although I try to cut down on the sugar intake Dr Pepper is the only thing I can't live without. That is the reason I was more than thrilled when Dr Pepper asked me to share with you my fun summer beach hangout tips.

Beach season is upon us and that means spending quality time with friends. There is nothing better than sitting on the beach, toes in the sand and an ice-cold Dr Pepper in your hands.

Summertime is all about celebrating outdoors and having a BBQ and connecting with friends. Lucky me, I live so close to the ocean it's so easy to load up all my friends in my car and drive to the beach and have an amazing time. I wanted to show you guys how I spend the whole day at the beach! First I start with my shopping, always important when having an awesome day at the beach. I love going to Walmart a day before. Not only is it the cheapest store around but it always has everything I need, from plates and cups to charcoal for my grill and most importantly I can't forget my beverage of choice, my Dr Pepper. After my shopping is over with, I head early in the morning to the beach to get the best spot possible.

My favorite spot is Dockweiler Beach because it has awesome spots for grilling and later at night you can make an awesome bonfire. I start my day by reading a good book or checking my phone and getting my tan on before my friends show up. Usually, everybody brings something to the BBQ. I specialize in making potato salad - everyone loves my original German recipe and, of course, I bring Dr Pepper for everyone to quench their thirst. After that, it's swim time! Sometimes my friends need to drag me out of the water. I can stay there for hours. After hours of exercise, I head over to my area where most likely my husband has started to grill the carne asada. I love his Mexican cooking style, so yummy. Last, but not least, once the night sets in the bonfire begins. This is the time where we can just all hang out, drink some Dr Pepper and make some s'mores. I love s'mores! This is my summer beach day how do you spend your day at the beach?

Whatever this may be I would suggest you take your Dr Pepper. For me, Dr Pepper is the perfect drink for summertime parties with friends. The crisp and refreshing flavor makes Dr Pepper my number one beverage. Dr Pepper is the perfect drink to quench your thirst on the hot beach day. The 23 flavors that make up a Dr Pepper might be a secret but the taste can't be beat.

I got a pool float in the shape of a Dr Pepper bottle. Do you also want an awesome pool float like I got? Buy Dr Pepper at #Walmart between 6/15 and 8/15 this summer and upload your receipt here. Spend $5 and get a unicorn beverage holder, spend $10 and get a Walmart e-Gift card worth $5,spent $20 get a six pack can/ bottle holder with ice pack, or spend $40 and get this amazing Dr Pepper bottle shaped pool float. So what are you waiting for? Go to your local Walmart and purchase Dr Pepper and get your beach fun on.

I love the unique packaging for #PickYourPepper. It is super fun and individualistic. This packaging was designed by millennials, for millennials. Hits stores starting 6/15/17.
For my beach get together. I decided to get a 12 pack of Dr Pepper cans. Let me know what you guys end up getting. Most importantly this summer just have fun with friends and family, nothing can beat that!
