31 Summer Essentials You Need In 2022
Hello June! I hope you had a lovely and relaxing long weekend đ My weekend was the perfect blend of relaxation and productivity, which can be really hard to achieve sometimes! I started and finished a Colleen Hoover book (Reminders Of Him - it was SO good!), had a pool day, did some laundry, and filmed and planned some blog/IG content. But I think my favorite thing that we did was binge watch season 4 of Stranger Things! This was basically me the entire time: đ±đ€Żđłđ”âđ«. Some scenes were so hard to watch but at the same time I couldnât look away! And I didnât realize that the final 2 episodes wouldnât be released until July 1st which really bummed me out lol so now Iâll just be here anxiously waiting until then.
Anyways, since Memorial Day Weekend is basically the unofficial start of summer, I thought it would be the perfect time to share my favorite summertime essentials with you! These are some of my must-have items that not only get me through the hot summer days, but also make them more fun and enjoyable! Things like a great book that you donât want to put down while youâre lounging at the pool, the perfect pair of flip flops to take you from the pool to lunch, and ankle weights that will jumpstart your morning workout and give you the confidence boost to slip into that sexy bikini to show off all your hard work! I use most of these products on a regular basis and can personally vouch for their quality (I wonât steer you wrong - I promise!), but summer is the time of year when I use them almost constantly, especially the skincare products! I know thereâs a lot to look at, so take your time and know that Iâve linked everything down below and over in the LTK app so you can shop easily đ I also want to highlight a few of my absolute favorites for you!
Elevated Flip Flops
Iâve been wearing Tkees for the last 8 years now and they are hands-down my favorite flip flops Iâve ever worn! They are so comfortable and the quality is unmatched - theyâll last you a long time if you treat them nicely đ I love that they come in a variety of finishes (matte, glossy, shimmer) and so many other styles if you want something a bit more dressy. But even just their classic flip flop style is more elevated than any other pair of flip flops Iâve owned and they can easily take you from the pool to lunch or dinner out!
Skincare Hero
The True Botanicals Pure Radiance Oil has been a game-changer for my skin over the last year! Itâs packed with ceramides, fatty acids and antioxidants that are clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Not only that, but itâs incredibly hydrating and will help refuel your skin after summer days spent outdoors soaking up the sunshine. Your skin will thank you - trust me!
Totally Toned
Bala Bangles are an essential part of my workout routine and the cutest accessory to my athleisure outfits! Theyâre the perfect add on to any workout whether itâs pilates, yoga, barre, or even just an outdoor walk. They come in 1 and 2 lb options and tons of fun colors to choose from đ I have them in pink (naturally) and have definitely thought about getting another pair in a different color!
Let me know if youâve tried any of these products before and what your favorite summer item is!
