]]> Summer is a super exciting time of the year and many people’s favorite season. Having more sunshine and warmth is strongly appreciated by many people, and the general mood and atmosphere seem to become more relaxed and chilled. Many people also look forward to bringing out their summer wardrobe, with cute, light outfits that can’t be worn in winter. When you are deciding on summer clothing this year, choosing items made from linen can be an excellent decision. Here are some reasons why. 

It’s Super Light

Summer clothing often translates to less material, for example, shorts or a tank top. While it’s lovely having skin bare in the heat, if the material is quite thick, such as denim or cotton, then you may well feel hot and uncomfortable still. Linen is super light and airy, meaning it’s perfect for intense, hot weather.

It Dries Quickly

Light materials are great in summer not only while wearing them, but also when it comes to washing them. Having clothes that dry super fast is perfect when you are sweating more and perhaps need to change outfits more frequently. 

Can Be Rolled Up Small

While light and airy, linen layers still provide some warmth and protection from the wind. This means they are perfect to roll up and pop in a bag when you’re heading out for the day. This means later in the evening you can pop on a cozy but light layer to keep warm.

]]> As much as we love ice skating in the winter and hayrides in the fall, there’s something about summer that always feels like the perfect time for romantic outings. Warm weather and longer days mean more opportunities to get outside and explore, and the vibrance of the season makes nature an ideal setting for quality time and adventure. Whether you’re a new couple wanting to deepen your connection or long-term lovers looking to keep the magic alive, read on for some of our favorite tried-and-true summer date ideas. 

Go Stargazing

Find a secluded spot away from city lights, lay a blanket on the grass, and spend a few hours taking in the stars. The quiet ambiance allows for intimate conversations, and gazing at the vast universe above can spark a sense of wonder that strengthens your bond. Bring a telescope or a stargazing app on your phone to identify constellations and learn about celestial bodies.

Pack a Picnic

Put together a spread of your favorite foods, grab a cozy blanket, and head to a local park or beach for an afternoon of al fresco fun. Picnics are a great way to save money in an environment that’s just as romantic as an expensive restaurant, and the atmosphere of nature offers an opportunity to enjoy your food and unwind together without a rush. 

Pick Fruit

Many fruits, such as peaches and berries, are at their peak during summer, and heading to a local orchard for some fruit picking is a fantastic way to spend time with your partner. The process of picking promotes teamwork and cooperation, and afterward, you can keep the fun going by using the fruits of your labor to bake a delicious homemade pie.

]]> Hear that? That’s the sound of us overheating on the couch. Summer has arrived with a bang and brought with it the high temperatures. While we’re all for warm, sunny days, the heat can be sweltering if there is no aircon in sight. If that is the case for you, here are some ways to stay cool sans AC. 

Cold Compress

Lying back with a cool cloth on your head is not just therapeutic, it can regulate your body temperature too. After all, it is a recommended method for trying to break a fever. Simply wet a cloth and lay it on your forehead, or grab a bag of frozen peas out of the freezer, wrap them in a towel, and place them on your body.

Light Fabrics

Clothing can feel particularly restrictive when it is hot. While stripping down to your birthday suit is definitely an option, it may gain a few unsavory looks if done in public. Rather stick to cool, breathable fabrics like linen and cotton.  

Cold Foods and Drinks

This may seem the most logical, but if your body is feeling too hot, put something cold in it. Frozen grapes, berries, and other fruit are a fabulous idea. It’s also important to stay as hydrated as you can, so don’t forget to drink loads of water.

]]> There is nothing more important in a beauty routine than taking care of your skin. You could be using the best cleansers, serums, and makeup in the world, but none of it will matter if you’re not protecting your skin from sun damage. While it’s important to use sunscreen all year long, most of us are spending a lot more time outside come summer. Whether you’ve got plans to vacation on the beach or are simply looking for added protection for your day-to-day, we’ve rounded up some of the best sunscreens available for whatever your skin type may be.

Oily Skin

We love the Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen with SPF 40 for both oily and normal skin. It absorbs quickly and is formulated to leave your skin with a glowy matte but never oily finish. It also works well as a makeup primer.

Dry Skin

The Coola Classic Face Organic Sunscreen Lotion with SPF 50 is our favorite sunscreen to use on dry skin. It’s made with aloe, so it does double-duty of providing you with both protection and hydration.

Sensitive Skin

Like all of their products, CeraVe’s 100% Mineral Sunscreen with SPF 50 was formulated alongside dermatologists to provide your skin with exactly what it needs to be healthy. Their mineral sunscreen is approved as safe for those with eczema.

]]> There is nothing more important in a beauty routine than taking care of your skin. You could be using the best cleansers, serums, and makeup in the world, but none of it will matter if you’re not protecting your skin from sun damage. While it’s important to use sunscreen all year long, most of us are spending a lot more time outside come summer. Whether you’ve got plans to vacation on the beach or are simply looking for added protection for your day-to-day, we’ve rounded up some of the best sunscreens available for whatever your skin type may be.

Oily Skin

We love the Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen with SPF 40 for both oily and normal skin. It absorbs quickly and is formulated to leave your skin with a glowy matte but never oily finish. It also works well as a makeup primer.

Dry Skin

The Coola Classic Face Organic Sunscreen Lotion with SPF 50 is our favorite sunscreen to use on dry skin. It’s made with aloe, so it does double-duty of providing you with both protection and hydration.

Sensitive Skin

Like all of their products, CeraVe’s 100% Mineral Sunscreen with SPF 50 was formulated alongside dermatologists to provide your skin with exactly what it needs to be healthy. Their mineral sunscreen is approved as safe for those with eczema.
