Mondays are hard, especially after a pretty perfect weekend. Backyard fires, craft beer fests, bopping around Salem; I really couldn’t have done it better. With temps creeping into the high 70’s this week, summer clearly has a little fight left in it.

Fall, meanwhile, is already all over our feeds, so here’s your first assignment. Enter to win a candle-making workshop at The Sweetest Thing Shop, where you’ll make your own custom candle to burn through the season ahead.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• The Low Key Seaport Stroll takes over the neighborhood September 28th with an afternoon of bar hopping and low-stakes competition. Wear something comfy and complete challenges along the way for a shot at prizes.
