PHOTOGRAPHY BY: AMANDA ELLE I’m always in a constant pursuit to maximize every aspect of my life, so today’s topic is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately.

The ones in this photo, in particular, have lasted in the freezer all week. And they’re so easy to make. So follow the instructions below for my summertime frozé ice pops and thank me later!
