Summer isn’t my favorite season for many reasons, but mostly because I simply just don’t enjoy sweating my brains out on the regular. I much prefer winter. Keep in mind, I live in North Carolina so our winters are far less brutal.
Despite the fact that the calendar is about to flip over into August, summer still seems like it’ll be never ending. So I thought I’d share with you a few things that keep me sane in the summertime.

- A fun bright mani. A good manicure with the perfect summer shade can work wonders on my mood. Wet n’ Wild Megalast in Tropicalia is one of my top 5 summer shades! And bonus: it’s super long wearing!
- Shade. Whether I’m blocking the rays with my favorite sunnies or a fun hat, finding shade is absolutely necessary. I swear I become like a vampire in the summertime.
- Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant. While this stuff doesn’t keep me as dry as I’d like (I’m still experimenting with the different kinds within the brand) it does combat odor like a champion.
- Leave in Conditioner. Specifically the Earthly Body Merrakesh X High Tide leave in. It’s crucial to replenish the moisture back into your strands after it’s been exposed to the brutal summer sun. This stuff works freaking wonders.
- Refreshing Body Wash. I didn’t know what I was missing until I accidentally got my hands on the St. Ives Revitalizing Pear and Soy body wash. It says on the bottle that it “delights the senses.” I really only picked it up because I liked how it smelled. But I’ve already repurchased it twice. It’s so refreshing!
Well, you know where to find me. I’ll just be over here in my corner counting down the days until we finally find some relief from this heat.
Oooooh, that body wash sounds wonderful. I might just have to pick that up and give it a try!

i love summer! bring on the heat. haha. i need to try that body wash!
I much prefer fall to summer. SO MUCH!!! But I love all those things you mentioned. Have a fabulous weekend!
Summer isn't my favorite either, I prefer fall weather. It's not too hot and not too cold. 🙂
Shade is very important to me too. I get cranky when I'm overly hot.
Ugh yes, I'm so ready for fall over here! I like Summer ok, it stays light later and my birthday is in June! But about this time is when I'm like Ok, let's be done with Summer now! LOVE that polish color, so pretty!
I mean… I have a countdown on my phone to the first day of fall. I hate summer.
October is my favorite. My absolute favorite. But I'm with you. I'm over not being ale to look put together because I sweat through my clothes and make-up within 5 mintes. xo
I'm with Kristen I looove summer and am sad it's zooming by so quickly! You are definitely lucky you guys don't get bad winters, I think that would make them a bit more enjoyable 🙂 I'm so obsessed with all things pear so I need to try and find that soap!
Yessss, a fun mani. Except mine never look as good as yours 🙁
That's my go-to nail polish (you already know!) and I use that deodorant too! I'm with you on not being all into summer like everyone else. It's morbidly humid here and I hate feeling sticky all the time. July-August is the worst!
