10 Summer Essentials

Okay confession time: summer has never been my favorite season. It's not that I don't love the sunshine and the tan lines, it's just I'm always working and before I know it summer flies by. So this year I decided to make a summer bucket list so I could enjoy my season and do things for myself versus spending it at my office all day. With that, there are a few essential items you need to make sure you look and feel your best this summer! 


1. A good bathing suit—you need to radiate confidence and there are so many different body types and types of bathing suits that can help you look good. You really have to shop around to find what kind you like, but some of my favorites are from SheIn, Monday Swim and Good American.


2. Books—whether you have it on the kindle or a hard copy, a book by the pool or the beach can make all the differences! I have a goal to read 5 new books this summer and I'm halfway there! It's a great way to escape a computer screen and dive into a new world.


3. Sunscreen—maybe it's because I'm older now (almost thirty šŸ˜†)  sunscreen has become a staple in my skincare routine. The two products I'm using this summer are CeraVe and Super Goop!


4. Water—okay, this one is not as odd as it sounds. It's not me just saying "drink water" but rather inspiring you to do so. How I get inspired is I got a super cute Bubba tumbler cup and with a straw which makes me go through it so many refills. And when I'm on the go I love Fiji and Smart Water!


5. Hats—a good hat makes all the difference and this season I am really into bucket hats. This one from Amazon is only $13 and comes in a TON of different colors.



6. Sunglasses—just like hats, you need something to help combat the sun and sunglasses are perfect. My favorite pair is the pair that my boyfriend got me for my birthday a couple years ago from Tiffany & Co. šŸ˜.


7. Tennis Skirt—this look became a trend during the pandemic last summer and I finally caved and got this one off of Amazon for $22!


8. White Shoes—this one sounds very particular but there's a reason. Just like the perfect pair of black heels, you need the perfect pair of white sneakers. They go with everything and you can invest in expensive ones or a bunch of affordable ones to see what fits your style best. I got these ones off of Amazon and this pair from SheIn.


9. A Good Playlist—It's so crucial to have a good playlist you can listen to when you're at the pool, on a run, at the beach or even just driving around with the windows down. I'm currently loving Olivia Rodrigo "Sour" album, "Our Song" by Annie-Marie and Niall Horan, and "Heat Waves" by Glass Animals.


10. A Good Skincare Routine—This is probably the MOST crucial for the summer. Between the sun, the sweat and your busy life, your skin needs some taking care of. Having your favorite products and a routine down will not only have you looking your best, but you'll be feeling your best too. Some of my favorite products are facial serums, pimple patches and Laneige sleep mask.
