Lists: Summer Necessities

Summer is almost upon us!  As much as I love the sun, and spending my days outside or at the beach, I'm really trying to protect my skin for my own vanity health.  (Hee, hee!)  Here are a few of my favorite things to have on hand for some fun in the sun...

Ok, you probably won't need the galloshes, but still...

• a nice, big pair of sunglasses
• spf 35-50 moisturizer for face and body
• spf 15 balm for lips
• sun hat, anything floppy to cover your face 
• hair conditioning spray (mix conditioner and water, spray before sun exposure)
• face spray, evian or rosewater-feels fresh on a sweltering day
• iced drinks-mochas, tea, lemonade-anything, as long as it's smothered in ice
