10 summer essentials to keep in your backpack
Finally the summer is here. I often think about what love-hate relationship we share with summer! Even though we love to love summer, but we often feel that our mood of enjoying the season is being destroyed by excessive heat and discomfort. So, to make summer enjoyable at our best, I have put in extra focus on cutting down uneasiness related to summer. Here I have discussed about 10 summer essentials to keep in your backpack and I’m confident that with a little care, we can conquer over the heat and make summer a season to cherish.
1. Bodysuit : It’s really important to keep a white or nude colored bodysuit inside your bag. You never know when you get a divine opportunity for a dip into the pool or visit the sea side for cool breeze? To keep the summer heat away from you, you should never step back either.
A nude or white colored bodysuit is best as they bring cool vibe whereas black and other dark colors absorb heat. But there’s no harm in experimenting with some bright prints or in-trend stripes.
2. Slip dress: Slip dresses eventually turns into the second skin of fashion lovers during summer. Wherever you go, there’s nothing better than feeling comfortable in summer and slip dresses are the best things to offer comfort. Also its easy-going vibe makes you look fresh and joyful. You are always ready to roam and twirl around in a slip dress irrespective of where the mercury thermometer points to!
3. Sunglasses : One of the must-have fashion accessories in summer. Rather, it would be best to say that it’s one of the summer essentials because it doesn’t matter if you are a fashion lover or fashion ignorant, you can’t give your pair of sunglasses a miss.
Sunglasses protect our eyes from the harmful UV rays of sun and keeps our eyes cool and protected. A pair of sunglasses is your protection gear. So ensure that your frame is large enough to cover your eyes adequately when you are out in the sun.
4. Sunscreen Lotion : Sunscreen lotion is another highly needed thing in summer season. Protecting your skin from sun is also equally important as protecting eyes. Even if you are deciding to get a tan, you shouldn’t ignore applying sunscreen. It is extremely important to apply sunscreen not only on your face but also on every part of your body that’s gonna be exposed in the sun. Also you need to make sure you apply a higher SPF sunscreen lotion at least half an hour before your outing in the sun.
5. Lip Gloss / Lip Balm : People often say that a lip balm or lip gel is needed only in winter but believe me, it’s equally important to protect your lips from the heat and sun. I have seen many people ignoring their usual lip care in the summer and ending up having chapped and dried, black lips. So never forget to nourish your lips with lip gel. A lip gloss is also a fabulous option if you are not determined to go sans makeup.
6. Flip-Flops : A comfy pair of slops or slippers or flip-flops are so useful in the summer. As we know, our feet tend to sweat in the summer heat. Hence, there’s nothing more cool to give our feet a little break and bring comfort to it.
Personally, I think it’s always a cool idea to flaunt some colorful flip-flops in this scorching summer heat. The cool colors play the role of creating contrast in the hot weather remarkably well.
7. Hair Tie / Rubber band / scrunchie : A bun or a tight pony is so easy going rather than keeping the hair untied. The tied hair is a go-to hairstyle in summer to embrace comfort. So always carry one or more options of hair tie or rubber band or scrunchie when you are out during the summer. It’s also one of the important summer essentials.
8. Small Towel : Keeping a small towel makes life relaxing for you in the hot summer weather. If the heat is on the verge of taking a toll on the body, you can always soak your towel in cold water and mildly sponge your face and body, wipe it off your skin and face to get a fresh, dry and cooler vibe.
9. Bottle of water : A bottle of water is so necessary to carry. When it comes to drinking water to keep your body hydrated and refreshed or even when you want to sprinkle water on your face and skin or wipe off your face and skin, water comes handy. There is no alternative of a bottle of water to keep yourself fresh.
10. Fruit juice : To bring in soothing effect in the middle of scorching sun and unbearable summer heat, a can or container of fruit juice is extremely useful. It doesn’t only supplies water to your body but it also fulfills the demand of glucose and other essential minerals which is lost with sweat.
So whenever you are out in summer, please follow this check-list to keep yourself fresh and energetic all throughout the summer days. Beat the heat in style and keep your stylish personality free of worry.
Lots of love,
