The Northern Hemisphere has officially transitioned into summer and I’m ready to enjoy the outdoors! Nature is like pure magic to me and makes me feel happy and energized. Have you noticed that when you spend time outside? The outdoors not only provides a wonderful opportunity to escape the stresses of daily life, but it also has numerous positive effects on the body and the mind!
I have curated a list with the summer essentials you need to have for your next outdoor adventure. Take note and go out to enjoy the best of what nature has to offer!
Taking a book along with me and reading into the great outdoors is one of my favorite things to do in summertime. Better if it helps me to learn something new! The gym is not my thing but I love keeping me healthy so if you are like me, or you are sick of your typical fitness program, The Workout Bucket List by Greg Presto guarantees that working out can and will once again be enjoyable! I’m not the best when it comes to sports, but I do really enjoy riding a bike, rollerblading, walking around, etc.
I just started reading it and I loved the idea of going snorkeling with manatees in Florida’s Crystal River so I already added it to my bucket list! The book is truly motivating and contains over 300 life changing races, epic challenges and other activities that you would love doing!
When stocking up for an outdoor adventure, it’s crucial to think about the components in your on-the-go snack. A great adventure can be abruptly ended by an unsettled stomach or digestive problems that necessitate many trips to the restroom. That’s why looking at the ingredients always keeps my gut happy and healthy while I am on the go!
CORE bars are my favorite snack! With its functional ingredients like whole grains, prebiotic fiber, and probiotics boost gut health, immunity, and wellness. They have six tasty and delicious flavors like Peanut Butter Chocolate (which is my favorite), Blueberry Banana Almond, Dark Chocolate Cherry and so on.
Grab your favorite CORE bars in the refrigerated section of the grocery store, on corefoods.com, or on Amazon. Hurry up and use code SUMMER20 for 20% off.
Keeping the skin hydrated is very important, especially if we are going to be outside! As a resident of Miami -AKA the sunshine state- I spend the whole year in the sun. That’s why I always take care of my skin and I can’t miss aloe. This 99% Aloe Vera Gelly hydrates a minimum of 3 epidermal layers! It’s made with organically grown Aloe Vera and it’s leaving my skin very moisturized and also it absorbs really quickly. I use aloe for everything from after-sun care, daily moisturizer, scalp soother, shaving gel, styling gel and more! Check out their compact 4 oz size which allows you to take it along on all your adventures.
You guys already know how much I love drink mixes. I always share how I stay hydrated with them and of course I never forget these when going outside! EcoDrink Naturals has become my favorite lately since give me more electrolytes, antioxidants and nutrients than any other average sports drink. It’s definitely a healthy energy option because it has much fewer calories and contains no sugar or stimulants, and also, what I like the most, it contains vitamins A, C, D, E, B7 and B12, and 28 highly absorbable nutrients including key electrolytes to help us stay hydrated!
If you are heading to any hot place like Miami, please don’t forget to take your favorite flavor from EcoDrink with you. They help us support our energy, metabolism, brain health, eye health, skin health, bone health and much more since it’s a multivitamin! If you ask me, the strawberry lemonade flavor is delicious and making it is just as simple as combining one of the individual packets to 16oz of water.
When it comes to going on an adventure, these are the kinds of things I never skip. Whether you are planning a barbecue with friends or family, or if you’re going for a long road trip, make sure you have your SOLO cups and paper plates. I always pack cups and plates for roadside picnics and I always bring them for bbqs since they simplify cleanup, and what’s best if they are as cute as SOLO!
With their brilliant designs and crystal-clear clarity, these 18 oz printed clear cups add a touch of sophistication to any occasion! The cups contain 20% post-consumer recycled content and the plates are made with 99% plant-based renewable resources making them compostable and recyclable.
The cups and the plates are strong and resistant, and I love how they match perfectly demonstrating our style and dedication! These plates are grease- and soak-proof while yet being microwaveable. SOLO will improve any celebration and make it a wonderful and unforgettable experience!
Of course, I could not miss the comfortable shoes on my list. The Staheekum slippers are perfect to wear at home and beyond! These indoor/outdoor shoes are extremely comfortable because of its memory foam insole and it caught my attention that they are made with a recycled water bottle lining. I absolutely loved the eye-catching honey colored corduroy upper with quilting and how easy they are to put on and take off.
I always wear one of these and I’m bringing them wherever I go. Don’t you find that on vacation you walk a lot and you are exhausted when you get back to the hotel? Well, let me tell you these slippers are life changing. This is why they are always in my luggage. Additionally, they are ideal for a stroll outside or relaxing after a long day at work. Thank me later! 10% off with code: BBOXX22.
By the way, each time an item is purchased from their website, a tree is planted, which is wonderful!
Have you already made plans for your summertime outdoor adventures? I’m ready to enjoy this amazing weather and have some fun under the sun. Don’t forget to carry your essentials! Have you tried any of these before? or which of these would you like to try?
xoxo,
