Summer is arguably the best and worst season of the year. It’s synonymous with all things sunny, carefree, and fun, but the tradeoff is that it can be unbearably hot, sticky, and gross. Luckily, we’ve curated a list of items that will keep you looking and feeling your absolute best no matter where you are or what you’re doing.
So go ahead. Indulge in that vitamin C, and don’t be afraid to sweat a little. As long as you carry these products along, we’re sure you’ll be feeling so fresh, so clean. Here’s exactly what you need to keep up with that level of summer fly.

Feel Fresh Anytime, Anywhere
Summer is the best time to get out and about. Whether you’re hitting the beach to soak up a few sun rays or chilling on a swanky rooftop bar, sometimes with the heat of the season, we all need to freshen up down there. In fact, did you know that the vaginal area actually has the most sweat glands than any other part of the body? That’s where Simply comes in, offering two new products sure to keep you feeling confident all day long. Start your summer day with the refreshing Simply Summer’s Eve Gentle Foaming Wash, featuring a rich lather that rinses away odor-causing bacteria. Before you head out in the heat, toss some Simply Summer’s Eve Cleansing Cloths into your purse - perfect for on-the-go touch-ups. The best part? Both products are free from harsh ingredients, feature botanical extracts and are designed to maintain a natural pH level. Try both the Simply Gentle Foaming Wash and Cleansing Cloths in the new Coconut Water and Mandarin Blossom scents for a quick and simple refresh!
A Great Beach Read
Sometimes your mind just needs an escape. Unwind with a relaxing read this summer, and if you need a recommendation, we have just the pick for you. Penguin Random House offers White Fur, a novel by Jardine Libaire that explores “a stunning star-crossed love story set against the glitz and grit of 1980s New York City.” The story follows two young lovebirds that meet during cuffing season, and what starts out as a winter fling eventually develops into a deeper and more passionate relationship that they try to pursue as adults — but of course, it won’t come easy. They’ll have to face their fair share of familial drama, socioeconomic differences, and brooding life decisions in a modern millennial world. We won’t spoil the rest, so you’ll have to read on to find how this one ends!
A Next-Level Brush-Up
Think your oral hygiene is up to par? Well take a moment and imagine how much bacteria your toothbrush is exposed to at any given moment. Now imagine how that bacteria can multiply in the summer months when you’re hopping around from gym seshes to vacations… or don’t — we know, it’s a scary thought. But don’t worry, because Steripod Toothbrush Protector is the perfect solution. Whether you’re on the move, crashing the night at a friend’s, or just generally want to shield the thing you put in your mouth every day from airborne contamination, the Steripod clip-on toothbrush protector fits any manual or electric toothbrush, and uses active vapors to keep your toothbrush fresh and clean for up to three months. It even comes in a rainbow of fun colors to match your dorm or apartment bathroom.
