🍉 Summer Essentials to Keep Yourself Fresh 🏖

Today's post is about what I carry in my bag, I wanted to make this post because after living in Japan for 3 months forced me to carry more stuff that I used to not take into consideration when being outside.

Let's get started ✨️

First of all let's talk about my pouch 👝. I used to carry just my phone, the wallet and a lipstick or lip tint but that changed completely. Now I carry my pouch where I can put many things: a lipstick, sunscreen, perfume, a coin purse, alcohol wipes, cooling body wipes, hand cream, blotting paper for the face, alcohol to disinfect, and a cooling mist.

I have an extra pouch where I can bring more lip tints or lipsticks because one is not enough 🤭 and my sailor moon mirror. Lastly, a mini fan that I can recharge with my phone's charger and my parasol that has UV protection.

By the way, I forgot to include in the pictures my water bottle but I try to always carry it because it's too hot outside 😣 and it's very important to be hydrated.

Let me know in the comments what are your summer essentials 🏖 Enjoy the rest of the summer, it's almost over 💫.

... Read moreAs summer approaches, it's essential to stay prepared for the heat. One key item to keep in your bag is high-SPF sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Hydration is equally crucial; consider a durable, reusable water bottle to carry with you, ensuring that you can sip water throughout the day. Additionally, including cooling products such as body wipes and mists can offer a refreshing burst of comfort during outdoor activities or trips. A versatile pouch allows you to organize these essentials efficiently. Don't forget stylish accessories like a UV protection parasol and chic lip products to keep your look vibrant while maintaining your health! These items not only enhance your comfort but also reflect a summer aesthetic that embraces fun yet functional choices. Join the trend of self-care this summer by curating your bag with these essentials!
