Have you ever felt like your spirit was happiest near the water? Us too. At Bleu Lemonade Living, we believe life is best served with a salty breeze, a splash of sunshine, and a squeeze of lemon.
This is your space to embrace beachy vibes, indulge in healthy comfort food, explore the art of colorful living, and plan sun-soaked escapes that fill your soul with joy. Whether you’re flipping through from a cozy couch or packing for your next coastal getaway, we’re so glad you’re here.
Why We Live for the Coastal Life
There’s something magnetic about the coast. Science even backs it up.
According to environmental psychologist Dr. Mathew White of the University of Exeter, people who live near the ocean report higher levels of mental health and well-being compared to inland dwellers.
That may explain why we crave salty air, soft sands, and the rhythmic lull of the waves. The coast doesn’t just refresh our bodies—it revives our minds.
Whether it’s a weekend stay in Seaside, Florida, a rugged Maine shoreline walk, or a lazy afternoon in Laguna Beach, the beach calls us home.
Want ideas? Check out our favorite beachy escapes:
- 30A, Florida – Bike-friendly, bright cottages, and endless sunshine
- Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA – Storybook charm meets coastal serenity
- Cape Cod, MA – Classic New England beach vibes
“The sea offers a unique mix of sensory experiences—sound, smell, and sight—that reduces stress and promotes mindfulness.”
— Dr. Mathew White, Environmental Psychologist¹
Healthy, Comforting Recipes That Feel Like a Hug
Beach life is about balance. Yes, we adore that fresh-off-the-dock fish taco or frozen lemonade (make ours spiked with ginger and mint, please). But we also crave cozy meals that nourish our bodies without weighing us down.
Coming soon to the blog:
A Lemon-Dill Farro Salad that’s perfect for picnics
Coconut Mango Chia Pudding—tastes like vacation
Our Coastal Veggie Bake with roasted fennel, sweet potatoes, and herbed ricotta
According to culinary nutritionist Megan Fahey, R.D., “Comfort food doesn’t have to be heavy to be satisfying. Add bright herbs, citrus, and roasted vegetables to give meals both depth and joy.”²
Here at Bleu Lemonade Living, we’re all about that—healthy, happy, and a little bit indulgent.
A Colorful World of Joy
Our signature color palette? Think sea glass, lemon zest, and blush sunset skies. Living in color isn’t just a visual choice—it’s a mood.
Color psychologist Angela Wright explains that “color affects not only mood but energy levels, productivity, and creativity. Yellow tones (like lemon) uplift and energize, while blues evoke trust and calm.”³
So yes, we’re obsessed with:
- Aqua glassware
- Woven beach throws in coral and indigo
- Playful hand-illustrated prints for your walls
- Sun-drenched color palettes for planners, journals, and mood boards
Your surroundings should spark joy—and we’re here to help you design your life in full color.
Planning the Getaway That Feeds Your Soul
Dreaming of a coastal escape? Here’s how we plan it at Bleu Lemonade Living:
✔️ Choose joy, not just a location. Are you craving quiet reflection? Go for the dunes of the Outer Banks. Want something lively? Hello, Santa Monica Boardwalk.
✔️ Pack with personality. Think linen, sea-inspired jewelry, a good novel, and your favorite lemony body balm.
✔️ Savor slow mornings. Our ideal start: open windows, ocean playlist, warm oat milk latte with cinnamon, and journaling before breakfast.
✔️ End each day with gratitude. Sunset walks, beachside affirmations, and maybe a touch of rosé.
Coming soon: our Bleu Lemonade Coastal Getaway Planner (printable + digital!)—with packing lists, itinerary pages, and journaling prompts.
