10 of my Summer Essentials
Summer is officially here for us and we're diving right into swimming, sunscreen, sandals, and later bedtimes.
I've put together a list of my personal summer essentials - from my favorite sunscreen to bag/backpack I take on every trip to the games/toys that keep my boys entertained for more than a hot minute!
I hope you find some favorites too!
DIME Tinted Sunscreen (Get $15 off your order of $50 here)
This sunscreen is for all skin types and has great UV protection with 19% zinc and is clean in terms of ingredients. The tinted option is just enough of a sun kissed glow too!
Simple Modern bag (shop here)
This bag is HUGE and holds so much. Plus, it wipes or rinses clean super easily. It is a dupe to the Bogg bags, but at a much better price point and gorgeous neutral color.
Owala water bottle (shop here)
These water bottles are leakproof, insulated stainless steel and allow you to either drink from the spout or through a built in straw. Comes in a ton of cool colors too and has a handy hook for carrying! Each of us has one in a different color so we know whose is whose.
Zero gravity chairs (shop here)
This pair of chairs is under $100 and comes with built-in pillows and trays with slots for TWO drinks, phone and tabletop snacks! We have the striped version and they are SUPER comfy for relaxing on the porch with a good book or afternoon nap.
Bucket golf (shop here)
We LOVE this game! You can play this a variety of ways using your golf clubs (no need to buy special ones for this). Fun for kids and adults alike! (Don’t forget golf shoe inserts!)
Glow in the dark sports balls (shop here)
We have the basketball, and it activates to flow when bounced and stays illuminated. They have a football and soccer ball too. Perfect for those late summer nights!
Kids swim goggles (shop here)
This set comes in a two pack and gets rave reviews. The boys have loved them for their swim lessons!
Swim coverup (shop here)
This crochet coverup is super cute and offers great coverage but not making you hot!
Geometry beach towels (Get 15% off with ValerieP15)
These towels are a great size, super absorbent and sustainably made. They come in a ton of cool prints, have a handy hook for hanging up, and fold really compact, leaving you tons of room in your beach tote!
Skout Organic Bars (use code STYLEFILESVALERIE20 for discount!)
My kids (and I) LOVE these snack bars. There are tons of flavors to choose from (you can even build your own box), and they are clean, organic and vegan in terms of ingredients, taste great don't crumble and make a mess in the car. The best part is that they don't melt all over your kid's hands in the summer heat. Literally the perfect on-the-go option, and you don't have to sacrifice quality!
