Living in the Midwest, I’ve never really had time to prepare for summer. My summer shopping is always done in the hours before a trip, the first days I realize I can’t get by wearing jeans and T-shirts anymore, or—the worst of the three—never, and I spend all summer realizing at random times that I’m missing this and that, all to never end up purchasing it and the same happening the summer after.
However, because we’ve been blessed with a few warm days early on this year, I could finally assess the situation and get everything I needed for every backyard barbecue, beach and pool day, hot AF day working from home, and every situation in between. Here’s summer shopping made easy—you’re welcome!
Beauty
There’s no doubt your beauty routine changes a bit once warm weather rolls around. We suddenly have to cover our entire bodies in SPF all day long, address all those awkward situations (boob sweat, anyone?), and the worst of all: accidentally getting too much sun.
No Problemo Pre & Post-Sun Water
This is the 2022 way to apply your post-sun aloe gel.

Thigh Rescue Anti-Chafe Stick
This is my #1 summer essential every single year—I simply would not be able to wear shorts without this.

No matter where you’re headed this summer, rest assured that you’ll be heading there in function and style. There’s always that one bag or storage solution we wish we had (like those wine totes below—genius), and this summer, we’re finally stocking up on each and every one.
