Summer Self Care Favorites

Summer of 2020 is a lot different than the rest. These are crazy times we are living in to say the least, and self care has never been more important. 

I think it’s safe to say we all wish there was a fast forward button for this virus, but unfortunately this thing has a mind of its own for now. While we learn to adapt to our new normal and accept the fact that life is just different right now, it’s important for us to put our health and wellness first. 

I’ve been practicing self care more than ever lately and I’ve quickly learned that this is exactly what I need for my mental health during these stressful and uncertain times. Going on walks, quick day trips, working out, and taking the time to treat myself here and there have all played a positive role. I’m excited to share some awesome summer pick me up products that I’ve been enjoying and treating myself to lately and I think you could enjoy too!

I want to encourage all of you to take a break for a little bit of “me” time for some summer self care if you haven’t already! 

The Summer Villa

Reading is the perfect way to unwind! If you’re looking for a good back yard or beach read to dive into this summer, check out The Summer Villa by Melissa Hill!

The book is based on the story of three friends who spent the summer together at a house on the Amalfi Coast. Years later, the house was transformed into a luxury retreat where the friends reunite for a summer. Secrets from the past come to light, and not everyone is happy about this. Each will face challenges to find true happiness. 

This feel-good summer novel is something you can easily escape into and would also make the perfect gift for your girlfriends, mother, or daughter! 

Insulated Wine Tumbler and Cup

Sometimes all you need is a little time to wine down! For drink lovers like myself, I highly recommend you get yourself a Swig wine tumbler or cup!

These cups keep drinks cold up to 24 hours (and up to 9 hours for wine), thanks to it being triple insulated, which is a must for the hot summer months! They’re dishwasher safe which is always a plus!

Natural Manicure Kit

It’s amazing what a quick manicure can do! While nail salons may not be an option right now, you can easily give yourself a nice manicure at home! I love this manicure system by Cindi Nails.

It’s the #1 longest lasting natural manicure system that can last up to 14 days without chipping and it’s also the fastest drying. It’s made from non-toxic ingredients which is always a plus!

Self Tanner and Skin Optimiser

I love this self tanning mist and luxury tanning mitt from Vita Liberata! It doesn’t have a greasy feel and you can easily customize your tan from a slight healthy glow to a deep bronze. It dries quickly and helps brighten and condition the skin. 

For a nice facial glow, try this Beauty Blur Skin Tone Optimiser. You can use it as a makeup primer, and it helps even skin tone and cover imperfections.

Energy Rush Stix

When you feel like you’re crashing, these Energy Rush Stix by 4C will pick you right back up! This is a great sugar free option for a boost of energy without the sugar crash! They’re low calorie, come in a variety of flavors and are half the cost of popular energy drinks!

I like these for when I’m on the go because I can easily throw them in my bag and add to any water bottle when needed.
