My Summertime Essentials & Giveaway

essential

Happy Wednesday! Can you believe that the summer is almost over? For me the summer has flown by. I guess that happens when you are an adult. Though here in the south, the warm weather will not be going anywhere, anytime soon. So what are my summertime essentials?

  • A cute bag for traveling. I do a lot of traveling in the summer time, so this bag I got at target recently, is perfect.

  • Water (staying hydrated in the summertime is very important)
  • Bathing Suit (s)
  • Bathing Suit Cover Ups (I have several that are dresses that work as a great cover up)
  • Maxi Dresses
  • Sunblock
  • Flip Flops & Sandals
  • Burt’s Bees Lip Balm
  • Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray (this is a must when living in the south)
  • Philosophy’s Purity One-Step Facial Cleanser (can I just say how amazing this stuff is)
  • It’s A 10 Miracle Leave-In Product
  • Redken Color Extend Shampoo & Conditioner
  • Not Your Mother’s Beach Babe Sea Salt Spray
  • MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 (seeing that I have normal to oily skin this keeps me matte and controls my oil)
  • Beach Hat
  • Rompers

Now I know there are probably a ton of more Summertime Essentials that I love but these are just to name a few. What are some of your must have summer essentials?

Don’t forget about the awesome Summertime Essential Bag Giveaway going on now until Monday, August 3rd at 12:00 am EST. Available to the U.S. only. All entries will be verified before announcing the winner, so please enter fairly! Good luck!

  14. I love that we have so many similar things on our list of summer essentials! I just picked up the UD de-slick setting spray and I love that it helps my face stay with all the humidity! Thank goodness! I also love the NYM beach wave spray; what an easy way to do hair in the summer!
