As summer has officially started, all we dream about is traveling somewhere warm! We are hoping to get away this summer, and if you are too, the BDG gals wanted to share with you some of our favorite items that we always have on hand. From accessories to skincare to the best beachside refreshments that you don’t want to go without, follow along for our favorite summertime essentials!
BANANA BOAT MOISTURIZER
I LOVE this product and have used it since I was 17 years old. It moisturizes the skin when it is dry and also burnt and actually turns it into a tan within two days. I love the benefits of it and I apply it even on my face if I have gotten too much sun. It works!!! -Linda Baker
POLARIZED SUN GLASSES
I love this affordable brand of sun glasses that are cute and trendy but won’t break the bank if they blow off while on a boat or get lost! -Heather Mattox
APEROL SPRITZ
My all time favorite drink during the warmer months! It transports me to the coast of Italy during a summer getaway and is always refreshing, no matter the day! The key to making an Aperol Spritz at home is extra ice in a large wine glass and fresh orange slices. Enjoy!! -Claire Morgan
BEACH FOOT STOOL
A beach day essential! There’s no better feeling than watching the sun set after a long day being outside and propping my feet up with a glass of wine! -Mary Pat Sadlowski
OVERSIZED BEACH TOWEL BLANKET
We always like to have on hand a quick dry extra-large towel blanket that can be used for splash pads, picnics, or wherever the summer takes our little family! It’s always in the trunk! -Lisa Floyd
SUN BUM COOL DOWN
It’s cooling and hydrating for sun-kissed skin without feeling too greasy. It’s the perfect summertime essential for my family! -Jess Warren
STANLEY QUENCHER 40 OZ. TUMBLER
Keep your drinks cold all summer long with a variety of colors from the Stanley Quencher Tumbler! My drinks stay icy cold for over 24 hours and the perfect size for carrying around. -Amanda Tarango
ACRYLIC PITCHER
I love this fun acrylic pitcher and 4 tumblers set in fun summer colors! I recently got it for my home and my daughter is obsessed. Perfect for indoor or outdoor entertaining! -Henrieta Imrie
PRINTED BIKINI AND SARONG
What’s not to love about a matching bikini and sarong? The perfect vacation outfit for lounging by the pool and snapping cute pictures! -Kay Ainsworth
PRINTED SUN HAT
The cutest hat with a pastel print! When you don’t want sun on your face or chest, this is the perfect option! -Libby Marrs
POLKA DOT SUN DRESS
Obviously for the Raye family, we will be at the lake on the boat all summer! This easy breezy polka dot dress will be a must for our wakeboarding adventures. -Tracy Raye
NEUTRAL WOVEN SANDALS
The perfect summertime accessory for any outfit! I love wearing neutral sandals with my summer outfits because they go with everything! I love the cute ruffle strap! -Taylor Payne
We hope you enjoy our favorite summer essentials! Wishing everyone a wonderful and safe summer full of adventure and travels!
