My Summer Must-Haves!!

Ahhh, summertime! My favorite time of the year!! There's nothing better than warm weather, and days spent laying by the pool soaking up that sweet, sweet sunshine!  I thought I'd take the time today to show y'all some of my favorite summer must-haves.  Basically, what I take to the pool! So, let's get started!


Hawaiian Tropic After Sun Lotion
 This stuff is a God-send.  Not even joking, it is officially my go-to lotion.  Not only does it smell AMAZING (like lime and coconut), but it also leaves me SO soft!  My skin gets super dry when I lay out or am in the pool a ton, so this stuff helps tremendously.  It's not greasy at all, and it's thick, so it really sinks into your skin! Needless to say, I'm going to get like 4 bottles before the summer ends so I can use it all year round!

PINK Beach Weekend 
 Every girl loves to smell amazing, even if they're just laying by the pool! I know tanning oil smells like heaven, but I love having a little something extra.  Even when you're not at the pool, this spray is the perfect light, summer scent, and is an appropriate scent for a night out or for a day at work! I snagged this at the semi-annual sale at VS for $4.83! win!!

Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning Oil
 After I have my base tan established, this is all I use when I lay out.  It smells amazing, and surprisingly, for being an oil, doesn't make me that greasy AT ALL.  I have been using this FOREVER. It's always a staple every summer at the pool. 

Essie's Boom Boom Room
 I had been looking for this color EVERYWHERE and could not find it.  One day I walked into Target, and it was my lucky day.  I got the very last one, AND I got it for 10% off because there was nail polish all over the cap! This is the PERFECT pink for summer, and it looks awesome with a tan! It takes a little more coats than most Essie polishes, but I don't mind.  I've already re-painted my nails 3 times with this color. 

VS SPF 24 Body Lotion
 This was my first year using this product, and I fell in love.  It has this great ingredient: Tahitian Monoi Oil, which makes it feel amazing on the skin. Not like a typical sunscreen at all!  It protects really well, the only downside of it, is that it is not waterproof, so you have to make sure you re-apply.  It smells a tad bit like self-tanner, but I don't mind that smell at all, so I love it.

 Olay Fresh Effects Wipes
I am in love with these makeup remover wipes.  They're very cooling, and do a great job at removing everything.  I use them when I'm at the pool quite often, just to wipe the hot away. If you're spending all day at the pool or beach I definitely recommend bringing a pack of these. Just don't forget to re-apply you're sunscreen afterwards!


So those are the basics of what I always have with me in my beach bag.  Of course I also always bring my iPod, so I can listen to music as I'm soaking up the sun, and a book too.  Let me know what y'all keep in your beach bags! I always love finding new products to try out! 

I hope you all are taking advantage of the end of your summer! It is crazy that school will be starting in just a few short weeks! Get out and live it up while you still have the chance! 

Stay Sweet!
