Summer Essentials

Memorial Day Weekend is like the official kickoff to summer. Just in time for this, we are sharing our summer must haves. Our weekends are spent lakeside meaning that swimsuits and a {safe} tan are a necessity! Check out our favorites (and get the links to them) below.

Triangl Inspired Bikini

I love the Triangl bikinis, but not the price. This look alike is under $20 for the top & bottom! Warning, the shipping isn't the fastest, but it was well worth the wait. I love the fit of this swimsuit (I got a medium FYI) and the fun color. It also has great support and coverage on the bottoms which is nice.

Similar Top / Bottoms
Leopard is a neutral in my books, that's why I love this basic bikini. I love the sporty look of this swimsuit. The style is also great for fun lake activities like tubing. I am looking forward to getting some use out of this number this summer!

Top / Bottoms
Lastly is this bright color-block number. It has a LOT of push up (if you're small up top this is the suit for you!). It is also cute in that sporty way that I like. It is surprisingly comfortable even though it is padded to the max.

Ulta Tinted Spray
Sun Lab Self Tanning Gel
Coppertone Lotion

If you are in need of some color quick, then the Ulta Tinted Spray is for you. It's like getting a spray tan without having to leave the house. Keep a mitt around to buff out any oopsies though (...trust me they will happen).

If you have a little time to build your color, I would opt for the gel. It is tinted, so you can easily see where you've already applied. The color also develops well overnight. If you apply a couple of times a week, then you can keep a great glow all summer long.

Lastly, if the quick color freaks you out, I would opt for a lotion. It allows you to build color over weeks. It will also keep your skin soft & supple.

All of these options work well together to keep your tan all summer long.
