Main Character Moment: Summer Edit – Dew Not Disturb

Main Character MomentSavoring the City
Written By Kana Brown

There’s never a better time to be Dew Not Disturbed by work, structure, or men than in the summer.
In a world less plagued by late-stage capitalism, we’d all be searching for the best tree to hitch a hammock to, listening to the symphony of nature that comes alive this season. But alas — born to frolic, forced to pay bills.

While you can’t escape all aspects of reality, you can find pockets of joy. I’ve made it easier by curating your next Main Character Moment right here, just for summer.

You may have forgotten, but this is what it’s all about — those tiny, delicious moments where you don’t need to shout that you’re really that girl... because you feel it in your bones, sitting alone, savoring that dinner at the spot you’ve been eyeing for months.

Think of this list as the sign you’ve been waiting for:
🌈 A permission slip (that you don’t need) to stop wishing and start doing.
🦜 A reminder that time spent on yourself is never wasted.
👑 A ritual to remind you that you’re the one writing your own story.

Think of this as your self-date starter kit. A soft, hydrating summer moment designed to remind you: you don’t need an excuse to enjoy your own damn company.
Each section includes a few choose-your-own-main-character stops. Do them all in one dreamy day, sprinkle them throughout the month, or just pick one and keep the promise to yourself.

Drink Stop: Sip Like Someone’s Watching

What’s more main character than that window-glazed moment while you’re sipping something delicious and feeling unbothered? Maybe you lock eyes with a stranger. Maybe you get that spark of “everything’s going to be alright.” Either way, these are your soft start picks:

Activity: Main Character Side Quest

These are your “not me living out a side plot I didn’t know I needed” picks. Do something weird, romanticize a random Saturday, or just get lost in the day.

Food: Romanticize Your Bite

You are not eating lunch hunched over your laptop today. You’re curating a flavor moment. You’re sitting in the sun, slow chewing. You’re flirting with the idea of dessert.

  • Paul’s Fruit Market
    ✨Pick your own picnic — fresh peaches, a crusty baguette, maybe a weird juice.

  • Haymarket
     ✨Indoor girl luxury — perfect if you want farmer’s market freshness without the heatstroke.

  • Retta’s Scoops
    ✨One of the most fun dessert spots in the city — colorful cones, nostalgic flavors, and a vibe that makes you feel like summer’s best-kept secret.

Movement: Soft Girl Strolls Only

Move like your body is your best friend. Nothing strenuous, just movement that reminds you you’re alive and made of star dust and limbs.

  • Louisville Park System
    ✨There are so many gems. You can’t go wrong — pick one, bring water, and look up often.

  • Tumbao Tuesdays @ FOKO
    ✨It’s free, it’s loud, it’s joyful. And it’s a guaranteed good time — even if you just watch.

Greenish Ritual: Solstice Magic

Let the plants kiss your skin. Let this be the ritual that reminds you you don’t need to earn rest, pleasure, or softness.

  • Summer Solstice Mask
    ✨Hydrating. Soothing. Sweet. Everything you deserve on your face after a hot day and a solo adventure.

    • Mix Oat, Honey + Lavender, apply to face and rinse with lukewarm water after 20 mins.

  • Dew Not Disturb

    ✨Summer event — a dreamy self-care drop-in designed for soft girls, skincare lovers, and anyone who wants to relax when they go out.

If you try any of these this summer, I have to see you in your main character bag. Tag me or use the hashtag: #MainCharacterMomentkb
