11 Things Everyone Needs To Survive Summer

Summer is officially here. That means beaches, cute bathing suits, and lots of pictures of vacations that make other people jealous. And also a bunch of new stuff to deal with the whole weather changing thing and the whole no school thing. In this post, I am going to round up some of my essentials for summer.

Flip flops

I wear flip flops all year round but most people just wear them in the summer. They protect the bottom of your feet but they don't make your feet hot and they look cool (if you get the right ones) = perfect for summer. I got these really adorable but simple blue ones from old navy for like 3 dollars or something (I don't actually remember the price). 

A good book

Lots of people complain about getting bored during the summer which makes sense. I also get bored a lot over the summer. But something like a good book can help this greatly. Pick up a book from your local library and just enjoy the joy of reading a good book. Then when your done go get another book. As simple as that. 

Sunglasses

It is sunny in the summer. Usually. Well, at least it is sunny where I live (way too much so).  So sunglasses are a must if you want to keep the sun out of eyes. 

Bathing suit

I love swimming and the water so much. It cools you off and it is a really fun activity. To get in the water though you need a bathing suit. You can easily get some online or in stores and a lot of times you can find adorable ones which are a total plus. Look cute while doing something fun. That sounds like a win-win to me. 

Cute coverup 

But with a bathing suit a lot of times a coverup is needed when you are out of the water. It could be a simple dress that you don't wear or one of the waterproof ones you can find at the store. 

Hat

As I said above it is very hot in the summer. With sunglasses, you protect your eyes but with a hat, you can protect your whole face from basically burning off. 

Sunscreen

Very very very important peoples. I seriously hate getting sunburned. Like majorly hate it. I got sunburned when I went to the beach this pass spring break and my back did not look good for like a month and people seriously asked me what happened. It was not pretty. Make sure you have your sunscreen and keep applying it if you are outside on a sunny day for a long period of time! 

Mosquito repellent

Sometimes I feel like mosquitos love me and I kind of hate it. Like I have seriously gotten 10 bites on my foot alone before. Again it was not pretty. The last few days in Houston at least it has been super swampy and it has annoyed me to no end. If it is the same way with you then definitely get something that makes the evil creatures stay away. 

Shorts 

I pretty much only wear shorts during the summer because of a) they are easy to wear b) they don't make you hot and c) you can walk around in them. Pretty much they are the best thing during the summer time.  

Cold drink/fruit

Maybe some juice or ice tea and then some wonderful watermelon. These things number one wake you up and number two are delicious and last but not least number three just feel good when you eat them during the summer. I have seriously eaten more watermelon in the last few days then I have eaten like all year. 

Bag  

To carry all of this stuff though you need a bag.
