Summer Essentials: 5 Must-Haves for Warm Days

With these five summer essentials you will be perfectly equipped for high temperatures and amazing weather!

1. Reusable water bottle

Who can relate? You’re making your way to the lake on your bike or you’re on an afternoon stroll and suddenly you get really thirsty. The warm temperature and blazing sun doesn’t help. Sure, you could go to the nearest supermarket or kiosk and buy a water bottle there. However, it’s much easier and more environmentally friendly to always have your own bottle with you. An insulated reusable water bottle that not only looks stylish, but also maintains your drink cold for up to 25 hours or hot for up to 12 hours sounds pretty good right? This is why the Corkcicle canteen is one of our summer essentials! These bottles are available in different sizes, styles and colors so you are guaranteed to find something you love.

2. Absorbent towel

A day at the lake without a towel? Not possible. Whether you’re drying off or you’re in need of a blanket, an absorbent towel is a must-have for the summer! Cotton towels are particularly suitable for this purpose because the fibers absorb water extra quickly. In addition, the material is also sustainable, because it is durable and quickly renewable. The only difficult thing is choosing between all of the beautiful patterns and colors.

3. Protective phone case

The expensive cell phone should be protected at all costs, especially during the summertime. But because we already have our hands full carrying our beach towel and reusable water bottle, we prefer to rely on a sturdy, and slim design to protect our phone. Choosing a phone case nowadays is pretty important, not only because it should be protective, but also because it has to be cute for all our of mirror selfies! This is why the Scandinavian brand, Nudient, is on our summer essentials! These cases are sleek, elegant, affordable and protective. And on top of that, they come in several beautiful colors.

My personal favorite for summer is the “Saffron Yellow” because it reminds me of the sea and sunshine. By the way, Nudient also offers cases for AirPods and elegant card holders that can be magnetically attached to your phone case so that everything is well protected and in the right place!

4. Protective and cool sunglasses

Our summer essentials guide has to include this practical, yet stylish accessory: sunglasses. In our sunglasses shopping guide, we have already shared our favorite brands and models and explained what you should look for when buying a pair to refrain from damaging your eyes. One of our favorite sunglasses brands is definitely Jimmy Fairly from France. The sunglasses are very high-quality, affordable and come in many different styles, so that anyone can find a design that best suits them.

5. Don’t forget sunscreen!

Last but certainly not least, we have sunscreen to finish off our summer essentials guide. If there is one thing that can’t be missing during the summer (but also during winter!), is a good quality sunscreen. It protects the skin not only from sunburn, which can later cause skin cancer, but also from premature aging. And we really don’t want that, do we? You can find our recommendations for every skin type in our sun protection guide. One of our favorites is the fragrance-free Sun Cream Face SPF 50 by V.SUN, because it is also perfect for sensitive skin, has a high protection, absorbs quickly and is also unbeatable with a price of just 15 €.
