Summer Essentials
Hey guys, how is everyone? Summer is sort of coming (for us over here in the UK maybe it's coming?). So I thought I would do a post about some of the Summer essentials I like to have/use. Whether you're here in the UK and enjoying the sunshine (which hopefully there is some!) or on holiday and by the beach these are the items that I need.
The first essential is probably the most obvious and is suncream. I think is is such an important thing to make sure you apply and continue to apply throughout the day. Especially if you plan to be in the sun the entire day. It is important to protect the skin and also to prevent sunburn cause ouch! I like to use suncreams that have an SPF between 30-50. That may seem a bit high but I do not like to kid around with the sun and all that stuff. So make sure you use suncream!
The second essential is of course sunglasses! There are so many different sunglasses out there but for me personally I like to invest in good quality ones, preferably with 100% UV protection. I love my recent purchase from Quay Australia (is it pronounced key or qway? If anyone knows!). They are huge but I like it and when wearing these I do not have to squint in the sunshine. The third essential is a book and hopefully a really good book. It is nice to just relax, unwind and sink into a different world. Whether it's on the beach or in the garden it helps pass time and before you know it half the day has gone!
The fourth essential is a hat. I'm not a huge hat person but in the sunshine when it's hot I'm a hat person. Additionally when your having a bad hair day wearing a hat helps cause it hides the bad hair! Hats are good for when it is bazoiling outside and you want a little more protection from the sun. I like the straw type hats like this one from Marks & Spencer which is in a fedora style. Again this helps me not squint in the sun and protects my face and help me to cool down.
The fifth essential is water! This seems a bit of a silly one but if it is ridiculously hot then water is a must. It keeps you hydrated but also helps me to cool down. And I like to drink lots of water so I always make sure I have some at hand.
The last essential has got to be flip flops! Sand can get ridiculously hawt in the sun and trying to hop, skip and jump to the water is not fun although looks quite funny xD. So I like to have flip flops to wear down to the water. Again if you're in the park or in the garden flip flops are good because grass can be oddly spikey. They are easy to put on and take off and are fuss free. And if you're a person who suffers from swollen feet in the summer then flip flops are a good alternative.
So there are some of my essentials for the summer. What are some of yours? I would love to know! Now bring on the sunshine please!!! xD
Till next time xx
