In honor of Oprah's Top Picks for Summer, we at Dittoe PR decided to come up with our own favorites for the upcoming season!  We've personally tried each and every one of these things and can tell you from our own experience how great they all are!!! Summer's not here yet, but we wish it were- we're sooooo ready!

Dittoe PR's Top Picks for Summer: (In alphabetical order)

Amusement Parks- "I'm obsessed with Cedar Point (in Sandusky, Ohio). I almost peed my pants on the Draggster! Okay, I don't really know if it's the rides that I like so much as the camping we do when we go there."- Megan Lawler

Bathing Suits- "I like this bathing suit form Urban Outfitters- because the skirt can cover my 'Kardashian'." -Christy Oberley

and cover ups... Polo terrycloth bathing suit cover-up- another Katie Murray pick!

BEER MARGARITAS- Littlefield would!
- 1 lime cut into 8 wedges
- ¼ cup coarse salt
- 2 (12 ounce) bottles of Corona/Corona Light
- ½ cup frozen limeade concentrate (thawed)
- ½ cup chilled tequila
- Ice Cubes

Best summer movie- Summer School (1987) –
Starring Mark Harmon, Kirstie Alley and Courtney Thorne-Smith  

Brita Water Filter and Water Bottles- CamelBak Tritan Better Bottle
25-ounce bottle made from a new, clear, safer plastic
called Tritan; in 5 colors ($9, on sale for $6 at REI)- Laura Kassenbrock and I are cutting back on our trash this year!

Cornhole- "Cornhole is a summertime staple at the Sanders household.  It's a great way to enjoy a beautiful summer evening and unwind after a day of work."- Lauren Sanders

Dog pool- "For the furriest family members, get them the ultimate summer treat -- a dog pool. Harry Sanders has already requested one!"- Lauren Sanders

Grilling- "I love my Coleman Road Trip Grill! When it's warm outside I take it EVERYWHERE!!! We've even had grill outs in the parking lot of Dittoe PR with it."- Me

Ice Cream- "I love treating myself to the Birthday Cake Remix from Cold Stone Creamery on warm evening after I finish instructing my spinning classes. It is pretty much heaven."- Christy Oberly

Martinis- Pomegranate Martinis made with vodka, Cointreau orange liqueur and pomegranate juice-- It's a Megan Lawler favorite!!

Music- Kenny Chesney- Greatest Hits CD

Potato Salad!!! "I ABSOLUTELY LOVE potato salad, and when Summer comes around it’s the first thing I make! This stuff is the BEST.  It takes a few hours to put it all together, but it’s definitely worth it!"- Me

Rainbow Flip Flops- "They last forever, they're comfortable and worth every penny!"- Lauren Littlefield

Starbucks Frappuccinos- "These drinks are the best- refreshing and delicious!"- Katie Murray

Sunglasses- “Love, love, LOVE big sunglasses. Lots of people think they’re synonymous with being a diva, but that’s not why they’re so key for summer. Thing is, you can totally be a people-watching creeper without anyone knowing. That, and they make you look like a rock star. Which, let’s face it, if you’re wearing these, you probably are.”- Laura Kassenbrock. Laura recommends Plastic Oval Aviators from Ninewest. Our new intern Katie Murray likes Marc Jacobs Aviators
