All Your Summer Essentials
We’ve now passed the middle of June, so can safely say we are in the middle of Summer holiday season. If you are heading off for a holiday or weekend break over the next few weeks, here are some of my Summer holiday essentials. Bookmark this post as I will be adding to it week by week.
A Beach Towel From Terrys Fabrics
The Catherine Lansfield Tropical Palm Beach Towel In A Bag from Terrys Fabrics is an absolute must this Summer, whether you are holidaying home or away. It is a decent, bath towel size of 90cm X 160cm with the predominant colour being a pretty pink shade.
The towel comes in its own bag which makes it easy to carry and easy to pack, and avoids you getting sand on everything else. Whether you are heading to the beach, or lounging by the pool, this is just a brilliant summer essential that you will use again and again.
The Miracle Mist By Figgi Beauty
When I asked people to recommend their summer must haves, Dr. Jeanne Retief, the founder of the brilliant FIGGI Beauty told me about their bestselling Miracle Mist. This life saver is a multi-use, refreshing skincare mist that has won a Silver award at the Universal Beauty Awards this year.
Figgi Beauty is a vegan, soul-led skincare brand designed especially for dry, sensitive skin, which we know can be painful, especially in hot weather. The Miracle Mist soothes sun-stressed or overheated skin instantly, and can be used on children as well as adults. It is a perfect addition to your beach bag, and would also be great on parched skin on long haul flights. It is Ffagrance-free, essential oil–free, and full of Rooibos + Hyaluronic Acid for hydration and inflammation control. It is, in short, a must for your beach bag.
Helly Hansen Women’s Logo Sandals 2.0
Safe and comfortable footwear is a must, especially on the beach, where the tendency is to walk around bare foot, but this may actually not be the safest thing to do.
Helly Hansen are brilliant when it comes to outdoor choices, but you may not know that they also do some really brilliant, beach ready flip flops and sandals. The Logo sandals 2.0 are just so stylish and are brilliantly comfortable. They are a flexible sandal with a comfortable foam EVA footbed featuring the famous HH logo, and have a soft textile thong strap. The sole has superior grip for a sandal, so it performs on deck or poolside. This is so important if you are walking on slippy surfaces.
Naturtint 2in1 Instant Root Retouch
If, like me, your natural hair colour is now showing pesky shades of grey, then the Naturtint 2in1 Instant Root Retouch is a small summer essential you will not want to be without.
Naturtint is an established and internationally renowned brand of naturally better home hair colour and care, and the 2in1 Instant Root Retouch, their latest launch involves an instant and temporary solution to those pesky greys. This must-have handbag essential comes in four shades, offers quick coverage of root grey hairs, and can also be used on eyebrows.
It is made from mainly natural products, and that means it also gives a very natural look to your hair. It is a lightweight product, perfect for your handbag, and can be quickly applied, making it practical too. Definitely one for people of a certain age, and that definitely includes me.
hay-band
As much as summer is wonderful, for some people, the effects of Hay Fever can just blight any enjoyment they may get. That fact makes hay-band and absolute Summer eseential. The hay-band, a completely natural, drug-free alternative for hay fever sufferers. Drawing on the principles of ancient Chinese acupressure, it works by applying pressure to the LI-11 point on either arm.
The great thing is that this is fast acting, giving very quick relief. It can be worn on either, or both arms at the same time, and has no side effects, no drowsiness or other unwanted side-effects. It is suitable for adults and children over the age of three.
hay-band costs £13.09 per (washable) band and is available online from hay-band.co.uk.

Koala Socks Compression Socks
Koala Socks are a premium brand that want to make compression socks stylish and comfortable. They say that their socks give ‘the hug of a koala’, and that they create compression socks for every occasion.
Compression socks are a summer staple when it comes to flying. This is because they offer all day comfort – great if you are flying long haul, and also because they reduce swelling of the legs. They explain that they offer enhanced circulation:-
Our compression sock technology promotes blood circulation, reducing swelling and energising your legs throughout the day.
If you can’t wear compression socks for any reason, then there is an alternative. You could instead opt for an ankle compression sleeve to give you the comfort and support you need, particularly if you are flying, or will be on your feet for long periods of time this Summer.
Hamish Highland Cow Rucksack From Blade & Rose
When you are travelling, allowing your child to have their own bag with some of their own things in is a great way to foster independence. The Hamish Highland Cow Rucksack from Blade & Rose is not only super cute, but it is also wipe proof and practical, with five star reviews from happy customers.
The bag is lightweight, has adjustable back straps and a front zip pockets. It also has a handy side pocket that is perfect for a water bottle. You can also get a matching lunchbox in this range, which is super cute, it will absolutely appeal to your little one.
Create your own beach bag from Vistaprint
