The Always Summer

Summer is right around the corner, for those of us on the East Coast, this means beaches, bbqs, and music festivals. Whether your headed to Governor’s Ball, Firefly, or if Taste of Country is more your thing these few essentials will get you through your weekend.

Since, I don’t know anyone who likes being gross and smelly (especially in the scorching summer sun) let’s keep these items handy.

First, all natural makeup wipes. They are not only good for removing your makeup but helping to keep your pores clear and fresh faced. There’s always lots of dirt flying around and you don’t want to let it all soak into your skin. If you’re camping these are great since water is typically in high demand.

Next, sunscreen! I’ve said it before but it is so important to keep on you. Grab a spray or application stick. A spray/stick keeps it easy to reapply, and harsh sunburn could make for a long and uncomfortable weekend.

Deodorant. Self-explanatory, but don’t forget to bring into festival.

With the spring and summer months fast approaching we get to enjoy the pleasure of warm weather, sunnier days, and for many of us, allergies. You have probably tried just about everything to cure yourself of the runny noses and scratchy throats that we would like to leave behind just as much as winter. When the over the counter medications fail you there are some new and natural ways to try and combat your allergies. 

Super sweet: The theory is that consuming local honey from where you live will help your body adapt to the allergens in the environment there. This is supposed to work like a natural allergy “shot” and doesn’t seem to have a downside.
