Well it is officially summer down here in the First State...that's Delaware for those of you who don't know!! As we kicked off MDW at the pool and then the beach I'd say I have 5 summer essentials that I will ALWAYS have with me. Check them out down below!!

1. SUNSCREEN

Now I know this is pretty obvious but I got a really bad spotty sunburn this weekend and I did put screen on!! It is important to always have sunscreen on especially your face/lips. Nothing is worse than burning your lips. So sunscreen is KEY!

2. Rainbow Sandals

THE BEST sandals I have ever bought!! I have the regular thick band and the small band. They not only look great, but once they're broken in they are extremely comfortable. They dry in seconds and last a very long time. Definitely a summer 2916 MUST HAVE.

3. Ray Bans

Now I know they are really expensive for a pair of sunglasses BUT I buy mine off amazon and get great deals. Yes, they are real Ray Bans not knock offs. I have four pairs and LOVE every one. Whether you're at the pool, the beach or walking around town, Ray Bans are the way to go.

4. Lifeproof Case

Best case I have ever purchased. I no longer have to be worried about having my phone out when it is raining or when I am holding a cold coffee the dew on it ruining my phone. I am always dropping my phone and with the lifeproof case I know it will be safe. Plus since it is water proof its great for a day at the beach or pool!!

5. Good Music

Nothing completes an awesome day out like some good music to jam to! At a bbq, you HAVE to have music, that is what completes the day! Whether you are driving around in the car with friends or taking a walk around the development, good music will be sure to make you feel happy!

Enjoy summer 2016 people, I know I will!!!!
