Summer is here and, boy, do we deserve to live it up this year. Currently, our weekends are packed with planned adventures to discover all the beaches, pools, and watering holes we can find within driving distance. To take one piece of planning off of our plates, we put together the checklist below to make sure we don’t forget any essentials when it’s time to hit the road.

Keep it Cool

“Chill out” is the overarching theme here. Make your life a little easier while keeping your beverages and snacks chilled with a rolling cooler. Bonus: no back injuries when it’s stuffed. If your final destination allows alcohol, we suggest a thermos and insulated tumbler for keeping your wine at the ideal crisp temperature. Refreshing chilled snacks like fruit and ice pops are always encouraged. 

• Rolling cooler
• Wine thermos (if allowed)
• Cute Tumblers
• Refreshing snacks

Good Vibes Only

Sometimes, it’s the attitude you bring to the day that can make all the difference. Keep the good vibes flowing with your favorite summertime playlist on a handy Bluetooth speaker or through your headphones. Stay hydrated with lots and lots of water, like way more than you ever thought your crew would need, bring that much. Pack it all up in an oversized tote that shares your intention for the day and don’t forget a good book!

• Bluetooth speaker or headphones
• Bright towel
• Lots of water
• A tote with personality
• A steamy new book

Stay Shady 

We’re talking about the good kind of shady here, no side eyes allowed. Sunburns are also not allowed this summer. Always remember to pack your big, floppy sun hat and umbrella. And you know mom was always right, reapply that sunscreen!

• Big floppy hat
• Umbrella 
• Sunscreen
• Oversized sunglasses
