Hey there,ย lovely community!ย
Weโve got something exciting to share. We've just wrapped up a fun survey on our Instagram, and if youโre not following us yet, nowโs the perfect time to join the party, follow us now!
We asked for your top summer essentials and hacks, and you delivered! Hereโs a summary of your must-haves for the ultimate beach or pool day.
HYDRATION
Staying hydrated is a summer must! Always keep a water bottle handy, especially on those scorching days. Check out our Reusable Water Bottles in the store, designed for their lightweight feel, gorgeous patterns, and safetyโmade from 18/8 food-grade stainless steel. They fit in any bag, are super light, and reusable, so theyโre perfect for a lifetime of hydration.
HEALTHY SNACKS
Keep your energy high with healthy snacks! We love spending time in the ocean, diving and swimming, which makes us super hungry afterward. Our Travel Tumblers are perfect for bringing snacks or drinks to the beach. They keep beverages cold for 24 hours and are great for smoothies, homemade drinks, or even gazpacho. Plus, they keep your snacks fresh until youโre ready to enjoy them.
Here are some tasty ideas to keep hydrated and your electrolytes in check:
- Snacks: toasted salted pistachios or almonds, fresh fruits (blueberries, melon, watermelon, grapes, clementines), cherry tomatoes, pretzels.
- Drinks: coconut water, mint lemonade, infused waters, gazpacho, or your favorite cocktail!
SPECIAL MOISTURIZING
Summer sun can be harsh, so keeping your skin, lips, and hair moisturized is key. Hereโs what we recommend:
- Hydrate your skin with water-based creams, especially after a long day exposingย to the sun. Apply as often as needed, whenever your skin feels thirsty.
- Use a good lip balm throughout the day and include it in your nighttime routine too.
We didnโt include sunscreen, but we suggest enjoying the sun safely, typically after 4 PM. Be sure to check local guidelines based on your region and hemisphere.
HAIR PROTECTION
Extra moisture and protection on days your hair will be exposed to high temperatures is crucial. We recommend switching to a Shampoo Bar for Dry Hair and adding our extra conditioning Leave-In Conditioner Bar that will provide long-lasting protection and hydration. This bar will also help define your hair's natural waves, ideal for summer looks.
Donโt forget a hat to protect your face and hair from the sunโs harsh rays. We also suggest combing your hair wet, to avoid breakage. Our favorite detanglingย hairbrushs are the Tangle Teezer ones. Though theyโre made of plastic, we believe in conscious shopping and the functionality and quality of these combs make them worthwhile. Theyโre light, convenient, and suitable for all hair types, but especially effective for detangling fine hair.
