1. Sunscreen

On more than one occasion, you read here that wearing sunscreen has become part of my daily routine. It protects from UVA, UVB and photodamage. Finding the right one can be a bit tricky; some will leave your skin looking ashy or greasy. But you can find some amazing sunscreens out there. Two of my favorites are from Biossance and Hynt Beauty. Both will leave your skin looking radiant.

2. Summer Hat

There is nothing like a hat to elevate a look. I love to wear them all year round. However, since getting my sisterlocks wearing a hat has become a bit tricky. Besides, I never liked having to worry about what to do about the hat all day. Presenting the roll up wide brim straw hat! It can be adjusted to fit your head, comes in a variety of colors and it can be rolled into your bag!! Genius!

3.Orthopedic Shoes

I know what you’re thinking and let me stop you right there. These shoes are cute AND they support your arches! Check them out! Many styles are on sale right now!

4. Foot Massager

THIS is must, it relieves tension and hits your pressure points just right. I chose a very basic one which came with a reflexology chart. I also found one called the human touch and that sounds dreamy.

5. Wooden Roller

In spite of looking as though this might hurt, the pressure of this roller feels really nice. It is said to help to relieve the appearance of cellulite and to improve circulation. I will probably do a full review in the fall. Mine is currently sold out on Amazon but your can find plenty of alternatives.

6. Sweet Sweat

Just like the song goes “Girl, I’m gonna make you sweat!” Sweet sweat does exactly what it says it’s going to do. You don’t even need to perform a strenuous activity for this work. However, it must be used in combination with a healthy diet and regular exercise. This alone won’t do it but it will help!

7. The Scout Bag

Well before the world caught on, this was a teachers favorite. This bag is sturdy, light weight, easy to care for and has loads of pockets. The colors are styles are so much fun too!

8. Contigo Travel Mug

These travel mugs are a must have all year round! They come in so many different colors and sizes. These will save you money, it’s just a no-brainer.

9. Travel Insulated Bag

10. Beach Tent

I am tempted to say that I’ve left the best for last but all of these are worth the investment. We’ve been cooked up at home for the last few weeks, how great would it be to escape somewhere, enjoy being outside, all while practicing safe distancing in the shade (-;

What would you add to this list?
