Summer Essentials!!

I've put together a list of items that I find absolutely essential throughout the hot hot summer months!!

Sandals 

No one wants smelly and sweaty feet during the summer days, so light and airy footwear is an absolute essential, these three are my go to shoes for the summer.


Sunnies

Sunglasses are extremely important during summer, especially if you have sensitive eyes, like myself. It also doesn't hurt that they're really cute too!! I don't usually spend a lot on sunnies, since I seem to have this habit of breaking them....... My Ray Bans are definitely my most expensive pair but I usually get all my other ones from Forever 21.

 Ray Ban Polarized Original Wayfarer Classic Sunglasses - $250 - $325(with prescription)
Forever 21 Black Wayfarer Sunglasses - $6.80
Forever 21 Black Large Sunglasses -$6.80
Forever 21 Black Round Sunglasses - $6.80

 *The Forever 21 links are for similar sunglasses since they no longer sell the ones shown above.

Hair Products

It's always good having hair products that'll actually help your hair during the summer. Dry shampoo is good if your hair easily gets sweaty and greasy and you need a quick fix and sprays that help prevent humidity from ruining your hair are a godsend during the hot and humid days. I also love using sea salt sprays, they smell so nice and they give your hair a beachy look.

Facial Mists

I really love refreshing mists, especially on those scorching hot days when you just need a quick breeze. Mac Fix + is definitely my favourite, I especially love the mini version since it's easier for traveling and just throwing it in your bag.

Beauty 

I'm a huge believer in wearing very light makeup during summer, I usually opt for no foundation and instead use concealer where needed or use a BB cream. I also find it better to stick with cream products than powder, such as cream blushes and highlighters. Since makeup tends to just melt off your face in the hotter days, eye primer is much needed, using one with colour is great since it eliminates the need for more eyeshadow.

Nail Polish

Now I'm not a huge nail polish lover but I know a lot of you guys are. I recently picked up the Dior Nail Glow and it is my new holy grail nail product, it is so easy and carefree to apply. It's simple yet so insanely gorgeous. On the rare occasion that I do wear nail polish, I usually lean towards more muted and pastel colours, these two are my favourite!!

Misc

There is nothing better than a good book in the summer. I don't get much time to read recreationally during school months, so I try to read as much as I can during the summer. I know there's a lot of controversy surrounding e-reading but I think it's all rubbish, doesn't matter what you're using as long as you actually pick up a book (or kobo) and read!!! Another thing I always do during Summer is catch up on all my TV shows, I've finally caught up on Game of Thrones (OMG is all i have to say) and The Mentalist and I'm about 8 episodes away from finally watching all of the Criminal Minds series (only took me a year and a half) Another summer essential is a good music playlist and some speakers, I'm obsessed with the Bose SoundLink Mini, it is amazzzzing!!








So that's it for my Summer essentials, what are yours?
