Summer Essentials 2013

Summer is just around the corner. This means no more school for 2 or 3 months. Summer is the time we go to the beach, hang out with friends, have free time from books and  HOT WEATHER. We need to protect ourselves from the sun but without looking bad. So here are some essentials for summer that you can buy or if you have it already, use it.

* Sunscreen: there are cream or spray sunscreens that you can used to protect yourself form ultraviolet rays. I recommend you to use a sunscreen with the SPF in it like SPF 60 or even more. If you are not going to the beach or getting to much sun in your arms or body and only want to protect your face you can can face moisturizer with SPF. I used one that is from Neutrogena and I really like it.

 * Bathing suits and Cover-ups : these are really important is you are going to the beach. They come in different designs, styles and colors. You can get it in stores like Forever 21, Target, JcPenny, Victorias Secret, Sears, etc. Some bathing suits are more high in their costs than others but make sure the bathing suit fits you well. You need to cover your bathing suits to get out of your house and go to the beach. Well, for this you use a cover up. Cover ups are like dresses but more beachy look. They come in different designs, color as the bathing suits.

* Sandals: Do you want to burn your feet? I think not. For this you can use some sandals, the ones that you like. I like using the ones from Old Navy that cost me like $1 or $ 2. If you want to walk around the beach, put some shoes on because you don't know what's in the ground.

* Beach Tote: In the bag you can put what you are going to use in the beach. You can take some snack, beverages, some magazines if you get bored. Some products for your hair like leave in conditioner and a comb are essentials you need. Ah, don't forget your towel.

* Sunglasses or beach hat: You need to protect your eyes and your face. Apart from using sunscreen you can use sunglasses. There are different styles of sunglasses and some cheap ones too. If you want to use a beach hat, you can use it too.

* Waterproof mascara: This beauty product is perfect because no water is going to ruin your eyes and take the mascara off. I use waterproof mascara all summer because where I live is really hot and the sweat mess up my mascara.

* Lip balm: If you don't want some dry lips, I recommend you to use lip balms, lip gloss or some other lip product to keep your lips moisturize. You can use lip product with some color in it so you won't look pale or with no color if you like it that way better.

* Extra clothing: Don't forget to bring in your beach tote some extra clothing like shorts and a cute blouse or t-shirt. Also some deodorant and a splash!! You don't want to have some bad odor.
