Summer Essentials Part 2

Following on from my last Summer essentials post, here are some more items that you should add to your shopping list this season.

Refresh Your Wardrobe With Mountain Warehouse

Whether you are going on holiday, or just want to add your sunshine to your wardrobe, a few new items of timeless clothing can be something that you can enjoy doing this season. Mountain Warehouse is a brilliant destination for affordable, everyday clothing that is stylish and timeless, and very affordable. It is also currently in the middle of a huge sale with pretty amazing savings.

I have highlighted a couple of my current faves from across both the men’s and women’s ranges, and have chosen these for their timeless appeal. After all, fashion fades and changes with the times, but classic styles are those we will wear forever.

Woods Mens Chino Shorts

Chino shorts are so useful. They work well in the day as casual wear, but add a polo shirt or a linen shirt and they will work well for evening attire too. The Woods Mens Chino Shorts are definitely beach to bar wear.

Newquay Womens Sleeveless Dress

A comfortable daytime dress is just perfect for sightseeing, enjoying a Summer stroll, or even for travelling. The Newquay Womens Sleeveless Dress is a stylish and comfortable dress with a faux wrap style and sleeveless design. The lightweight fabric makes it a brilliant cool item to wear on even the hottest of days.

Fresh breath and refreshment with Smints

Holiday essentials are not just restricted to your suitcase, they could be handbag essentials too. If you are travelling by car, train or coach, or jetting off to somewhere further afield, you may need to grab some Smints for the journey.

Smints  provide long-lasting freshness and a lingering cool flavour – all in a convenient tin that slots perfectly into hand luggage. Favourites include Smint 2 Hours Clean Breath £1.65 at available Morrisons which are clinically proven to reduce a significant cause of bad breath for over 2 hours – the ultimate travel must-have, and the Smint Strawberry £1.50 available at Sainsbury’s which are perfect for those not a fan of minty flavours. Smint caters for everyone who wants to have fresh breath, offering sugar-free strawberry that will keep your mouth clean and taste buds tantalised.

Passiflora tablets and drops

Passiflora tablets and drops

Despite the fact that Summer, and holidays, can be a wonderful time, it can also be stressful. Passiflora tablets and drops can be used when a period of stress is anticipated or encountered, for example just before a flight, or just when you are feeling down. A handy spray is also available – A.Vogel’s Passiflora Complex RELAX Spray (£13.99 for 20ml, www.avogel.co.uk) provides a gentle, relaxing blend of herbs for those needing to relax, including Passiflora, Lemon Balm and zinc, and is flavoured with natural vanilla and star anise. It fits easily into your pocket or bag and is perfect for on-the-go support and those who aren’t so keen on tablets.

Kalme Day Defence SPF40

Have fun in the sun but do so safely and this means using sun protection. You should try to avoid sitting in the sun when it’s at its strongest, but if you are out and about, you should definitely invest in good SPF. Kalme Day Defence SPF40 (£23.95 for 50ml, www.skinshop.co.uk) contains a certified SPF protection of 40 and is formulated for even the most sensitive skin. It also contains zinc oxide, a natural mineral block (as opposed to chemical filter) that also helps to reduce skin inflammation, and patented caper extract Derma Sensitive, which has been proven in clinical trials to reduce skin redness (including rosacea) and sensitivity by 70%.

The tube is perfect for popping in your handbag so you can add this whenever you hit the sunshine.

Pack a Peppersmith

It’s not always easy to keep your teeth clean when you travel, or stick to your usual oral hygiene routine. Flying in particular, can take you out of your routine, so you may need a mouth pick-me-up. Peppersmith make delicious Gum, Mints and Pastilles, and because they contain plant-based sweetener xylitol, they represent a healthier choice for your teeth, gums and smile. Whilst nothing beats regular, twice-daily brushing with an actual toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, chewing sugar free gum with xylitol is scientifically proven to reduce cavities, neutralise harmful acids, and keep your breath minty fresh – and Peppersmith Gum (£1.35 for 15g, Ocado, and all WHSmith travel outlets) is bursting with this tooth-loving hero.
