Makeup and skincare
Inexpensive but effective and it doesn’t leave a white cast. It layers nicely under makeup.
AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 - CeraVe
This smells SO good and is moisturizing without being greasy. One of my tried and true brands that I wear on repeat.
Tahitian Vanilla Moisture Drenching Body Lotion - Palmer's
Sun protection is important so keep your face covered and fake that sunny glow with this bronzer. It feels so good on the skin and it smells like summer.
Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer Murumuru ...
This is a new to me product this year but I will repurchase again and again. Love the weight and feel of this on my skin.
Anthelios Mineral Tinted Sunscreen SPF 40-50
My holy grail! It’s just enough coverage to even out skin tone without being heavy AND it has added sunscreen protection.
Mineral Tinted Moisturizer for Mature, Oily, Dry Skin + SPF
Summer Style
Don’t knock it til you try it! It may not be the most stylish sun hat but it’s perfect for walking outside, or the beach or pool. It provides the best coverage and is easy to pack.
Sun Hats Women Wide Brim UV Protection
The perfect mom shorts! Not too long, not too short and you can adjust the fit on the waist when you are having a bloated day!
Cinch Mid-thigh Women's Shorts - Medium Wash | Levi's® US
Possibly the perfect tank! I have it in three colors. It’s incredibly flattering (covers under arm bulge) and I like that it’s casual but can also be dressy enough for dinner out.
Women's Front Button Tank Top - Universal Thread™ Brown M
My go-to summer sandal. I wear these with shorts, dresses and swimsuits. Super comfy and easy to clean.
Birkenstock Women’s Arizona Big Buckle EVA Sandals | Academy
Truly, the most flattering swimsuit! It’s got great coverage (hello midsection weight gain) but is still so flattering to the figure. I receive compliment after compliment when I wear this.
Women's One Piece Swim Dress Tummy Control V Neck
Health + Wellness
I keep these on hand when I need a little extra help with regularity. No rushing to the bathroom or uncomfortable tummy cramps. These are magic!
