The first
thing that comes to mind when I think of summer are lazy days and cool breezes.
Not sure why I thought of the latter because we don't get much of a
breeze unless we're near the beach. The summers can be brutal here in
Charleston. It’s like one heatwave after another. But you can't let
that ruin your fun. The blaring rays of summer may try to beat you down,
but there are ways to protect yourself. Today, I'm sharing with you ten
essential items you will need to beat the heat in the south.
Sunscreen: It's a must! I strongly advise you to not leave home without it. Sunscreen is so important for your skin to. I don't know about you, but I have one for my face and another for my body. I tend to use face lotion that already has sun protection in it. If not, Neutrogena has a great one for your face that won't clog your pores or cause break outs.

A personal
towel: No joke. If you're
planning to walk around in our neck of the woods, you had better have a towel
or hanky ready. Perspiration is second nature here.
Deodorant: Speaking of perspiration, don't forget to apply deodorant. Please don't leave home without it. Enough said.

Hand Sanitizer: If you are out and about, have this handy to keep
your hands fresh and clean.
Face
wipes:
These work wonders for a quick freshen up. Keeps you from feeling
so sweaty.

Body mist:
During the afternoon heat, a light refreshing fragrance is all you need
to complete your attire for the day. They are refreshing, a good way to
cool the body, and they smell great. Save the heavy stuff for your
evening out. Check out your local Bath and Body Works for a wide selection
to choose from. My favorite scent is back this summer! Yay!

Water: It is so important to keep our bodies
hydrated. Water replenishes what we burn off and it’s an essential must
for the hot days of summer. Check out this amazing, refreshing video from
Dasani. Ahhh...

Hats: Not a favorite of mine, but when the sun is blaring,
a hat or visor is sometimes needed.
Sunglasses: And last but not least, you have to be
sure to protect your eyes. A great pair of #sunnies will
do the trick. Did you see my pick from the Warby Parker collection?
They were definitely helping me to #SeeSummerBetter.
Well this is
my list of essentials that have helped me through the summer heat.
What
are some of yours?
