Hello lovelies! June is officially here! Today, I will be sharing some of my personal favorite Summer essentials. So let's get right into it!


1. Sunscreen is definitely a no brainer. The summer time is filled with days in the sun, and you have to protect yourself from harmful UV rays. A small tip when picking sunscreen is to pick one with a higher SPF because that determines how long the sunscreen will last. For example, a SPF of 50 means you will have about 50 minutes of protection. All that being said, make sure to reapply throughout the day!

2. Everyone wants to go to the beach or pool in the Summer so a bathing suit is absolutely an essential. Monokinis have been on trend this season and I must say I am a fan. I like that they are extremely sexy while covering problem areas for many women. I know I for one, don't always want my belly out so a monokini is the perfect fix!

3. Water. Water. Water. I feel like this one is pretty self explanatory. Water is a major key in keeping your skin clear and body healthy all Summer long. If you want to spice it up, you can always add different fruits to your water which helps with detoxing. Just make sure to pack at least one bottle (preferably reusable bottles) wherever you go!

4. If you're planning on doing anything water related this season, you're going to need a towel. Personally, I enjoy getting towels with cute designs or phrases on them just to add some spice.

5. Sunnies are essential to keeping the sun from beaming in your eyes. My favorites are the classic Ray Ban "Clubmasters", however I always love sunglasses with a cat eye frame.

6. Now that the weather is warm, everyone wants to have their toes and feet out in the sun. Nail polish is essential to having your feet looking right. The best part is you're saving a couple of bucks by painting them yourself!

7. Sandals are a must this season. I literally look forward to Summer so I can bring out all of my favorite pairs. This year I am really feeling the Birkenstock look. I think they go with just about everything. Personally, I think they look better than the average flip flop.

8. A swimsuit cover up is important for all those beach and pool days. You can pick these up just about everywhere in tons of different designs. They are perfect just to throw on after you leave the pool for the day, and most of them look just like a casual dress.

9. This item is one of my absolute favorites this Summer. You can capture you're entire break through a lenses of this Polaroid camera. The photos make awesome decorations for your bedroom or dorm room. This item is a little bit on the pricey side, however I think it is totally worth it!

10. With all of these essentials, you need something to carry them in. A tote or small backpack is vital to having a successful Summer. My personal favorite is a small backpack because you can throw whatever you like in it and toss it on your back.
