Summer Must Haves

It's really been a scorcher of a summer, hasn't it? I thought I would compile a list of some of my favorite things that get me through a hot summer's day.


1. A top knot looks fashionable AND keeps your hair off your neck, keeping you cool. This tutorial shows you how to perfect it.
2. I cannot live without Bumble and Bumbles Surf Spray. It gives you fresh from the beach waves.
3. Murad's Oil-Control Mattifier keeps your skin shine free and contains SPF 15 to protect your skin from the sun.
4. Nothing beats a fun pair of summer sunnies.
5. It's important to keep hydrated in the heat. Smartwater contains electrolytes to keep your body in tip top condition.
6. Target always has the best cheap summer sandals. Get a pair to match every outfit :)
7. I love my window air conditioner in our master bedroom. It has saved me from many sleepless nights.
8. I always keep a Moleskin journal nearby for when inspiration hits me.
9. Sometimes it's just too hot to be outside. That's when I grab the iPad and fire up Netflix or dive into a new book.

What are your summer must haves?

Justyn Lord said...

I must have those flats now! I also almost bought those sunglasses (or similar ones) or the same ones that you own via Target - because as we've discussed in the past - I love target.
and you.

I have a Target gift card that is going towards a pair of those sandals. I've been wanting them for a while now. HOW does the surf spray work? You're telling me it's legit, right? Because I've bought stuff in the past and it has never worked.

Says the girl with naturally curly hair, but always wants to use something to get beach waves.

Do you have naturally curly/wavy hair? My hair kind of is wavy. I'm wondering if that hair product will work on kind of wavy hair. Also, where is a good place to find it?

Sometimes I feel like I can't live without air conditioning, but then I'm lucky that it usually gets cool enough here at night to cool the house down for the day.

I don't think I could pull off those sunnies, but you certainly rock them!

I think I need an iPad. I've been putting it off but I'm starting to want it really bad. KitchenAid bad if you will. Is yours wi-fi and 3/4g or just wi-fi?

I feel like your plane ticket should be number 10.

Sunglasses and tank tops are definitely a summer must! :)

Makaila said...

Our summer must haves are very different.

I have central air which is a must.

but I also have mt. dew which is far more important.

Shannon said...

We have central air on the main floor, but since our attic was renovated later into a bedroom, it lacks central air.

Shannon said...

YES.

Shannon said...

Best investment I've ever made. And I got with 3 year no interest financing!

Dusty said...

oh how i love the bumble & bumble. and i don't think i can imagine you without the famous top knot. you rock it best!

Melanie Hoffert said...

I've got to try that bumble & bumble stuff.

Shannon said...

Awww thanks! I cheat a little with the help of a bun form, but it's a cute look!

Shannon said...

It's amazing. You can get it at Sephora!
