Hello everybody! Today I wanted to show and tell you guys what my summer essentials are. I will be showing things that I use all of the time during the summer. I hope I can inspire you guys!
Beauty/Health
Flash Tattoos
These temporary metallic tattoos were super trendy last summer and they’re still in style now. I got these free from Dillard’s with my purchase of a formal dress shown in my last post. It came with some that look like bracelets, and some with symbols or little designs. I think these look so cool and I’ll definitely be wearing them all summer.
Garnier Fructis Miracle Dry Oil- Target, $3-5
I purchased this product last year, just to try it out and I love it. If you’re outside most of the summer, and your skin and/or hair gets really dry because of all the sun, this will really help to moisturize you. I think this is better to use on hair, and when you use it, never use more than 2 sprays or your hair will look greasy.
Lotion
French Lavender and Honey Lotion- Bath and Body Works, $5
Lotion is important in the summer because, like I said before, skin gets super dry from the sun and lotion will help to moisturize it. Plus Bath and Body Works has the most amazing scents in the summer.
I
Waterproof Mascara
Covergirl Waterproof Lash Blast Volume Mascara- CVS Pharmacy, $5-8
I live near Busch Gardens and Water Country, so my family usually gets a year-long pass and we got to both places often during the summer. Now, I want to have long, full eyelashes all of the time, so this helps to keep me looking great even if I get soaking wet. However, this mascara lengthens and makes it look like I have more eyelashes, but it doesn’t thicken them much so I usually wear two coats.
Benadryl Itch Cooling Gel- Walmart, $3
I’m the type of person who tends to sunburn more than tan, even after applying sunscreen. This product is a lifesaver for me because it cools my veins and makes them less itchy. Plus it helps to make mosquito bites less itchy.
SPF 15 Sunscreen- CVS, $2
Like I said before, I don’t tan much, but if I use a lower SPF I can probably get a bit of a tan even if I get a sunburn.
Fashion
Crop Tops
From Left to Right: Blue Tie-Dye Crop Top- Kohls: $5 on sale, Floral Strappy-Back Crop Top- Pacsun: $12, Strawberry Crop Top- Macy’s: $20, Scoop-Neck Floral Crop Top- Pacsun: $12
I feel like crop tops are the one summer clothing item that you see all the time. I have a lot of crop tops, and I love wearing them.
Entertainment
Something to read
Teen Vogue June/July 2015
I love reading, and it’s something that I do all the time who I’m not on electronics. Teen Vogue is a great magazine that gives good fashion advice. Another good fashion magazine is Seventeen.
A Speaker
Tiger Speaker- Christmas Present
Whether I’m having a party, or I’m alone in my room, a speaker is nice when you want your music louder and clearer sounding.
Apps
Pinterest
Pinterest is a great summer app because it has pictures of many interesting things, like fashion, hairstyles, makeup, food, exercise, DIYS/ crafts, and more! It’s free and easy, so you should join.

Buzzfeed is a news app, but it also has interesting articles to read, as well as funny posts, and fun quizzes. Buzzfeed is very entertaining, especially if you’re bored in the summertime.
