summer must-haves for a hot mom summer
It’s a hot mom summer, people!
Earlier this week I wrote this blog post about must-haves for babies in these hot summer months. Moms (or all women really) need fun summer products in 2021 too! Here are all my current faves for mama. These items would be great gifts or pick me ups for an amazing mom you know! Underlined phrases and words are links. :)
Woven Slide Sandals
These Target slides are so comfortable and trendy for the summer season. They have two other colors in this same style. I love them because they have the comfort of a slide sandal but could easily be dressed up! I picked these up about a month ago and I feel like I haven’t stopped wearing them. Treat yourself or another mom you know!
Tula is everything, honestly.
This eye balm is essential to my every day stay at home mom skincare/makeup routine. It has a cooling and brightening effect that makes my skin glow even if I don’t feel like using make up that day. It can also double as a subtle highlight on the tops of your cheek bones or tip of your nose. I can’t help but keep repurchasing this item! It is a little pricey but lasts me several months. I love the cooling effect for summer and to help with any puffiness under my eyes, you know, from ALL the sleep I get.
3. Starbuck’s Pink Drink
Am I basic? Obviously. Is it delicious and addictive? Also, obviously.
If you know me, you know I don’t drink coffee. Honestly, I drink this beautiful concoction ALL year long. If you have never tried one, what are you doing?!
I always order a grande pink drink with NO STRAWBERRIES and light ice. I don’t enjoy sipping up the mushy strawberries personally. I feel they are more for decoration. So delicious and perfect for by the pool.
This suit is 12 dollars. You read that right. 12 DOLLARS.
I have actually worn this suit 3 or 4 summers in a row now and it is a tried and true favorite. I think I will order the other colors too. I love it because yes, it fit my pre-baby body beautifully, but even now I still feel super comfortable in it postpartum. DID I SAY IT WAS 12 DOLLARS YET?
I love the simplicity and how it gives the illusion of a two piece but it is just one piece. It is not too cheeky and gives nice coverage all around. 10/10.
5. The Summer I Turned Pretty Series
Shout out to my friend Karlee who recommended these books.
If you are looking for a sweet, young adult summer romance read, these are for you. I am on the second book in the series and I am loving them! They aren’t anything too intense and give all the innocent high school love vibes if you are into that kind of read.
I have been trying to read more instead of the alternative, scrolling endlessly through my phone to relax, and these have been perfect for that. I also read that the books are going to be turned into a streaming series too!
