Let’s set the scene.

It’s 39°C. Your thighs are sticking to the chair. You’re sweating in places you forgot had pores. And all those hot-girl summer wellness routines? Meditation, hot lemon water, sunrise yoga?

Respectfully, no.

You want wellness, but without the performance. You want to feel good and eat fries. You want your salad to slap. You want summer to taste like something without suffering through another green sludge smoothie.

Enter The Lazy Girl’s Guide to Summer Wellness—where we skip the guilt, sprinkle the flavor, and call it a win. Featuring the real MVPs: condiments.

Step 1: Romanticize Your Laziness

Let’s clear something up. Lazy ≠ sloppy. Lazy girls are efficient. Selective. Strategic. We know when to outsource our energy. And if you’re going to eat three meals a day anyway, why not make them taste like they came with a side of glow-up?

Wellness doesn't need to look like a Pinterest board. Sometimes it looks like rice, an egg, and a sexy drizzle of CÓCOES umami glaze. Sometimes it’s toast, banana, and a rebellious swipe of coconut flower syrup that says, “I moisturize and I eat sugar.”

That’s balance, baby.

Step 2: Start with One Decent Habit (and Sauce It Up)

Forget the 8-step morning routines that require a personal assistant and three alarms. You need one decent habit.

Here’s a lazy-girl hack: hydration by disguise.

Chop up cucumber, tomatoes, and watermelon (or buy them chopped. We won’t tell ;). Toss with COCOES vinegar, sea salt, and a drizzle of CÓCOES Coconut Aminos. Boom. You've got water, fiber, and electrolytes disguised as a salad. Summer glow, unlocked.

Add feta if you're feeling extra.

Step 3: Upgrade Your “I Don’t Want to Cook” Meal

We all have that meal. You know—the bowl of pasta you eat straight from the pot. Or the emergency eggs on toast. It’s fine. We’re not judging. We’re enhancing.

Here’s the lazy girl secret: don’t cook more, season better.

• Fried rice - Add leftover veggies + CÓCOES coco aminos + chili flakes = “accidental” masterpiece.
  

• Roast chicken from the grocer -  Rip, dip, drizzle with coco vinegar glaze. Suddenly you’re hosting.
  

• Plain scrambled eggs -  Add coco aminos and toasted sesame seeds. Now it’s giving café brunch.

Step 4: Snack Like You’re Sponsored

If you’re going to snack (and you are), snack like your name’s on the packaging.

Here’s a lineup:

• Sweet Tooth Moment -  Apple slices + nut butter + coconut flower syrup. Messy? Yes. Worth it? Also yes.

You don’t need a 12-week meal plan. You need snacks that taste good and don’t make you hate yourself afterward. That’s the vibe.

Step 5: Unfollow the Wellness Police

Somewhere along the line, wellness became a flex. A badge of who drinks the greenest juice, who suffers through the hottest yoga, who chews with the most mindfulness. No shade, but that’s not this blog.

Here, wellness is indulgent. It’s flavorful. It’s coconut-based and comes in bottles.

You don’t need to “earn” your food. You don’t need to decode ingredient lists. You don’t need permission to enjoy what you eat.

Lazy girls know: the best wellness plan is one you’ll actually stick to. And if that means stocking your fridge with condiments that do the hard work? Perfect.

Step 6: Celebrate the Bare Minimum

Wellness isn’t all-or-nothing. It’s one good choice at a time. Some days it’s a smoothie bowl. Other days, it’s a 3-minute noodle hack with a drizzle of Coco Soy that hits like self-care.

So go ahead. Romanticize your fridge. Let your condiments do the talking. You’re already doing great, sweetie.

And remember: you don’t need a detox. You need a drizzle.

Final Thoughts (a.k.a. the part where we pretend to wrap things up)

You don’t need to overhaul your life to feel good. Start small. Stay zesty. Keep your condiments chic. And whenever someone tells you that summer wellness has to be hard?

Drizzle some COCOES Sweeteners on a cracker and eat it in front of them.

With confidence.
