5 Must-Have Summer Beauty Essentials That You NEED In Your Everyday Regimen

Summer: we all know and love her. The days are longer and the sun is hotter. Many of us will spend countless hours laying out in the scorching heat to get a perfect bronzed glow. But, it's all worth it... right? As summer is upon us, it is important to adjust our beauty routines to keep us looking fresh, radiant, and feeling confident all season long. Here are some beauty products you can use to conquer the summer!

1. Sun Bum Sunscreen Lotion

This one may seem self-explanatory, but I'm still gonna talk about how important sunscreen is. In summer it's easy to be enjoying a day in the sun and forget to put on sunscreen, but doing so can harm your skin greatly. Keeping your skin protected with sunscreen can reduce your chances of skin cancer, damaging, and aging, significantly. My favorite sunscreen is Sun Bum Sunscreen Lotion-- it smells like coconut and banana, and the formula is amazing. It doesn't feel greasy like typical sunscreens. You can get Sun Bum at Ulta for $11.99!

2. Hoola Bronzer by Benefit Cosmetics

Let's face it, sometimes it's difficult to achieve the summer glow we all want. Maybe your skin does not tan as easily, or you just haven't gotten the chance to get out and soak up the sun in a while-- whatever the case, bronzer is a great way to give yourself an effortless, bronzed look. Hoola Bronzer by Benefit cosmetics is my personal favorite. It is an awesome bronze shade and also blends into the skin easily. You can get Hoola Bronzer at Ulta or Sephora for $16.00.

3. Bumble and Bumble Surf Infusion

Beach waves are the best hairstyle to sport during the summer. However, it is hard to find a product that can work on thick hair and keep it looking like you just came straight from the beach. Luckily Bumble and Bumble's Surf Infusion hair spray works for all hair types. It will enhance the texture of the hair while also keeping it shiny and healthy. You can get Bumble and Bumble Surf Infusion at Ulta and Sephora for $30.00.

4. Shea Moisture Body Scrub

If you're going to be outside this summer, you'll probably be sweating, applying sunscreen, getting dirty, etc. Eventually, this all builds up. It's important to incorporate exfoliation into your beauty routine this summer to keep your skin looking fresh by getting rid of dead skin cells. I love Shea Moisture's Lavender and Wild Orchid Hand & Body Scrub. You can get it at Walmart and other drugstores for $11.99!

5. Banana Boat Sunscreen Lip Balm

Walmart.com

It's important to moisturize your lips any time of the year, but during the summer it's important to have SPF in your chapstick. Your lips can get sunburnt too! My favorite lip balm is the Banana Boat Sunscreen Lip Balm. You can get it at Walmart for $2.00.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
