It's about that time. Memorial Day has passed and the hot summer air is creeping on in. Who cannot agree that life is MUCH better in the summer? You can now shed those winter blues that stuck with you all spring. While summer is approaching and you're breaking out your favorite pair of shorts, it's also nice to think about the best ways we can take care of our skin, hair and bodies during these hot time. Let's face it, heat can be draining. We all must pay an enormous amount of attention on the things that matter most- such as our health. These tips are here to guide you survive the heat and do so in a flawless manner!
GET YOUR H20.
...and no I don't mean the pool.
Dehydrating is real, and it happens fast. Spending hours on the beach soaking up the sun can do more than just give you a tan. While the nice cold beer seems like quite the option, make sure you have plenty of water flowing through your system. Constantly sweating will leave you dry and add in alcohol and you're in trouble. Staying hydrated not only at the beach but also on a daily basis will really help your energy level and your skin.
REN FLASH DEFENSE ANTI- POLLUTION MIST.
The next best thing after sunscreen.
REN recently came out with this innovative skincare product that protects your skin from harmful toxins in the air. If your a city slicker, you'll definitely want to keep this in your purse as you're taking a promenade.

WATERMELON.
But just not in the Beyonce sort of way...
Aside from it's delicious taste, watermelon can definitely help in the cooling down process on the beach. Watermelon is enriched with lycopene, an antioxidant which help protects your skin from sun damage. Bon Appetite!
IT'S A TEN- LEAVE IN FOR BLONDES.
Makes them boys go woohoo!
After a long day by the pool or on the beach, you'll definitely need It's A Ten leave in conditioner to help detangle and condition the ends of your hair. For me, I use the blonde edition because it really helps retain the blonde color. This stuff is magical, I dare you to try it!

SUN BUM SPF 50
and a little vitamin E.
Sun Bum is one of my favorite beach day hacks! It doesn't have a horrible odor like most sunscreens and it does a great job in not only protecting my skin, but also hydrating it! This perfect duo can take your average beach day to the top.

ELTA MD UV LIP BALM
Pucker them lips up!
I use many products from eltaMD but this is my favorite. Being a chapstick junkie comes in handy during the summer months especially on the beach. The water resistant and SPF combo will leave you with the best lips to kiss on the beach. Mwah!
