BYSo summer is right around the corner–for some of us more than others (my kids are out this week!) Which means that for families, there’s more swimming, popsicles. sleeping in, later nights, grilling, fighting, declarations of “I’m soooooo boooooored!”, and kids asking every 15 minutes if they can have a snack. So while summer is magical and wonderful and it’s amazing to step away from the daily grind for a few months, sometimes you’ve gotta treat yo self. I’ve picked a handful of my favorite summer luxuries and not only am I sharing the things I love, but I’m giving away a box of all these things (plus a few little extra things I love!)
- Rodan + Fields Mineral Facial Sunscreen. Full disclosure: I’m not selling this. This isn’t an affiliate link, meaning if you buy it, I don’t get any kind of perk, money, product, anything. I just love it, which was never the plan because I am really not a fan of direct sales. That said, earlier this year, I had tried literally every type of product they make except for Accutane for acne (and I’m in my thirties…I don’t need adult acne in my life) and finally decided to give their Unblemish regimen a shot. It really helped, but I have very sensitive skin and I felt like washing it twice a day with Unblemish was a little too much for it, so I started using the Soothe regimen at night. Between the two of them, it’s slowly been solving my problems.
The Soothe regimen came with a mineral sunscreen, which I didn’t necessarily need because I already had sunscreen in the moisturizer I was using in the morning, but I really love using this during the day (and sunscreen for me is a must–fair skin + fair hair + a family history of skin cancer + a history of burning = no bueno). I hatehatehate just about every facial sunscreen because they feel oily and greasy and make me break out and they stink, but this is none of those things. It’s definitely spendy, but mineral sunscreens just are expensive and this doesn’t cost as much as others I’ve seen.
2. Contigo Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottles. Hi, I’m Kate (“Hi, Kate!”) and I’m a water bottle junkie. I have so many, but Contigo water bottles are consistently my favorite, both for my kids and for me (the self-sealing bottles are a deal breaker.) I love these bottles because a) they keep my drink cold all day, even in the heat, b) they’re a manageable size, c) they’re spill-proof, d) they have a little part that snaps over where you drink so if you toss it in a bag or take it on a hike, it keeps the mouth part covered, e) you can drink with one hand, so it’s perfect for the gym or when you have your hands full, and f) it doesn’t make your water taste like metal (which is usually my problem with stainless steel bottles.) This two-pack is a fantastic deal, way cheaper than buying them individually.
3. Raffaelo Almond Coconut Truffles. So a few weeks ago, a friend of mine gave me a box of these and my life has been changed. I’d never had them before, and I’ve got them squirreled away in my cupboards and ration them out like there’s a shortage. The funny thing is that if I were to pick a treat, it probably wouldn’t be white chocolate or almonds or coconut, but the combination of them is a.maz.ing. You can probably find these cheaper in stores (although they can be kind of tricky to find–look with the premium chocolates like the Lindt Truffles)–check Walgreens and CVS (of all places). I’ve also seen them at Target, but at my Target, they’re only packaged in larger boxes with other truffles.
4. Dry shampoo is an essential during the hot summer months and finding the right dry shampoo can be kind of a challenge. I got a sample of Living Proof Dry Shampoo (trial size and full size) in my Ipsy box about a year ago and it quickly became my favorite. Most dry shampoos smell so strong and have kind of a baby powder smell to them, which I’m not super into. I also feel like a lot of times, they’re not doing a whole lot except making my hair smell kind of like a sweaty baby, which is nice on a baby but not so much for me. I love the herb-y smell of Living Proof and yeah, it is strong, but not as strong as others I’ve tried. I also feel like it actually makes my hair less gross. I bought a full-size can of it in November and just barely ran out, so a little goes a long way!
5. The Coco Shea line from Bath and Body Works this year is SO amazing! I’ve been loving Coco Shea Coconut Body Lotion (the cucumber is also fantastic) for my body. Sometimes coconut-scented products take on a weird smell after awhile, but these just smell amazing, start to finish, and aren’t too heavy or too light.
I’m super excited to give a box of my favorite summer treats away, so if you want a box of all these things, leave a comment telling me the thing you’re most looking forward to this summer! When you comment, make sure you use an email address you check frequently in the email address field (you don’t have to leave it in your comment). The giveaway ends Sunday, May 21st at 10:00 pm Central time and the winner will be announced in my post on Monday, May 22nd.

Commitments completed first thing in the morning means I’ve done the “musts” and the rest of the day is FRRRRRRREEEEE!

Okay, I live outside of Portland, Oregon, so I realize that predisposes me to rain but this year has been SO BAD and unseasonably cold and I don’t want 90 degree weather but what I’m most looking forward to is the perfect summer stretch of 80-85 degrees when nights don’t go below 70 and all is right in my world (and my power bill). = )

I am looking forward to not waking my kids up at 7am and having a *little* more of a relaxed morning.

I’m looking forward to lots of outdoor summer activities and warm summer nights!

Looking forward to putting the alarm clock in the drawer for 3 months!!
I love summer! My husband just started a new job and won’t be able to take vacation days this summer, so I’m planning on a lot of lazy days in the sun with my kids. The park, the pool, and lots of snow cones!
Everything about summer is amazing. Camping, cookouts, festivals, parades, 4th of July, pool, summer concerts….the list goes on. We love summer!

Looking forward to warm days spent at the pool!

I’m looking forward to a less-scheduled, less-hectic lifestyle once my teens are only doing summer school and work, rather than 10 million other school clubs and activities on top of school. Hooray for lazier days!

Hi, I’m Lynette and I am also a water bottle junkie. The contigo water bottles excite me. I have a camel back one that’s insulated and like it, but the mouth piece has bothered me ever since I got it. I also love that the one you showed can keep the mouth piece covered! How nice!
I’m looking forward to s’mores and fireworks. And just enjoying one last summer with my kiddos before I send my oldest to kindergarten and our life changes forever! 🙂
I am looking forward to NOT having to wake up cranky teens for school!
I am COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS to welcome home my missionary in July then we’re going to party like its 1999 (which will mostly involve me sloppy kissing his face until he drowns) before I have to drop him off at college at the end of August. I miss my best little friend!
Family! Family! And more Family!
This summer, I want to hike! We’re finally not road-tripping far away from our PDX home, and I can’t wait to soak up the PNW’s best season at the coast, in the Gorge, and up the mountains. Those water bottles will get lots of use….
I’m most looking forward to not having to be up and out the door by 7:30.

I’m looking forward to seeing family this summer. We live in NY and they live in CA, so visits are few and far between. I think we may also see some national parks we haven’t been to yet (which is a favorite family pastime).
Long warm summer nights.
A new baby to enjoy and no school drop off/pickup! Other then that, this summer could potentially get crazy with a move coming up, just waiting to hear when our official leave date is.

I am most looking forward to a less busy schedule!
I can’t wait til my kids can play outside all day. They will mostly stop using ALL the toys in the toy box and my room will stay clean-ish 80% of the summer. Hopefully that also means my three year old won’t dump out a whole box of toys all over the floor every.single.day ?
I am so looking forward to a break from making cold lunches for school!!!!
I’m looking forward to sleeping in (although the truth is I probably won’t but there’s something about not HAVING to get up) and not needing to nag my kids to do their homework or make their lunches.
I’m looking forward to visiting family!
I am looking forward to lots of new adventures with my 4 boys this Summer. It will be a Summer of exploring in our own backyard, checking out all of the amazing sights. We will also be dropping our eldest off to BYU this Summer. Makes me sad and excited at the same time. Looking forward to our Summer!
Our summer is going to be a little crazy, but even in the craziness I won’t have to wake up so early every day and I won’t have to drive my kids to school! We will go to the beach and spend time at the pool, see friends & family we don’t get to see often, and I get to go to YW camp with my 2 oldest girls. 23 days and counting!
Swimming, early morning walks with good friends, picking raspberries and blackberries fresh from the garden, shelling peas and talking with the kiddos, hiking, camping with grandma/pa, 4th of July parade …. there won’t be enough time to do it all. Love summer!
My sissy is moving 15 mins away from me and I am so excited to spend time with her and our littles at the pool.

Looking forward to having my family all together the end of July. It will be crazy chaos but so amazing too.
I am loving all these favorites. I, too, am a water bottle junkie. I also hate direct sales things but have secretly been wanting to try rodan and fields (IF I suddenly have $300 to spare…sheesh!). But I am almost 30 and still struggle with my acne, too. Plus I’m pregnant, so add some extra hormonal skin issues on top of that. No bueno. Anyway, I would love to try your favs box!
OH, and I forgot to say what I’m most excited about this summer! I’m a teacher, so HELLO, being OUT of school and getting to spend it with my babies instead. Yay!
I know, that was my big thing!! The cost is crazy!! And then I sat down and calculated what I’ve spent on everything I’ve tried in the last year–doctor’s visits and medications and products and everything and realized it wasn’t awful, haha, especially since they last closer to 4 months than 2. But it was a tough leap to take!!

I love the sound of lawn mowers on a Saturday morning, cicadas singing in the evenings, and neighborhood kids playing night games.

Living in snow country (after being raised in AZ) has made me appreciate the absolute renewal of summer even more.

My oldest starts Kindergarten next year and I’m so sad to have my little sidekick leave me. I feel like I need to soak up every minute with her this summer. Kindergarten starts at 7:40am! Here in TX, so I will definitely be using a lot of dry shampoo.
I am most looking forward to sleeping in this summer- that is, if I can get my kids off their early school schedule!

What I am most looking forward to this summer is our family reunion. We have them every two years and since the last one, we have lost some of the older aunts and uncles. As they say, you never appreciate people until they are not there and I really want to spend some time with the ones we love who are still with us. .
I am most loooking forward to the slower pace of summer…sleeping in, swimming, the beach. I savor this time with my family – my kids are teenagers now and I realize that I need to appreciate every moment!
I am looking forward to not wearing a jacket anymore. It snowed today – May 17! I know you live in Louisiana and probably look at days like this like a complete relief from heat and humidity but I would like just a titch warmer than snow and jackets. By the way – those Raffaello candies are the most delicious thing I have ever had! I tried all the chocolates you could buy in Europe and of all these were my favorites! I’m glad you like them too!
The thing I am most looking forward to this summer is a family vacation in Hawaii. My husband and I just celebrated 20 years of marriage and we have 6 kiddos! We’re currently living in India, but it’s been really hard on me and some of the kids, so the kids and I are actually moving back to the States this summer (Yes, I have a US mailing address too ;). I dread living apart from my hubby for a year, but we think it’s what best for our family. Hopefully, our memories from Hawaii will sustain us when we’re really missing each other!
Definitely looking forward to a break from homework, Kindergarten drop off/pick up and such a busy schedule! I LOVE those water bottles too, my fave as well!

Summertime is magical! We love not having such a stringent schedule and being able to play more outside, read, and have more fun outings.
Looking forward to finally being back in my own house! We had a house fire in Dec. 2014 and have been fighting with our insurance company but decided to go ahead and rebuild. So sick of living in someone else’ house!
I’m most looking forward to longer days and more time to spend playing with my kids! They grow up too fast!

After we arrive at our new home, I’m really looking forward to getting settled (and unpacked!!!!) and exploring our new location with the kids!!!!
I’m looking forward to the weather perhaps finally changing! Tired of cold and wet… ready for hot and dry! 🙂
I’m most looking forward to surprising my kids (7, 5, 3, 9 months) with special getaways, making this summer magical.

I’m looking forward to an empty calendar! I can’t wait to wake up when I want (okay, sort of, I do have kids after all), and decide what we want to do that day without any deadlines or previously scheduled activities.
I am getting a hip replacement surgery in July. I have had 22 years of chronic hip pain due to hip dysplagia and degenerative arthritis and it is finally getting fixed. So, I am equal parts excited and terrified… but it will mean that I can walk my kindergartener to school next year and camp next summer and all the things so, I guess that’s what I am most looking forward to. 🙂
One of the things I am looking forward to (besides spending more time with my children) is not having to be on my “a-game” first thing in the morning. Breakfast, lunches, get dressed, hair done, teeth brushed, homework in backpacks, permission slips in backpacks, etc….all before I really wake up for the day! Yay for slower mornings!
I am so excited for things to slow down a little bit, so I can ENJOY my kids and husband, instead of rushing them everywhere all. The. Time.
All of these items look amazing. Thanks Kate!
(I’m a water bottle junkie too.)
I can’t wait to sit by the town pool with my 3 kids. They are getting closer to that age when they don’t really want to hang with me as much so I’ll take all the quality time I can get!

I’m looking forward to less of a rigid schedule. I like routine but I have to say summer is a nice break from the daily school routines.
I am so looking forward to living at our pool! My kiddo gets so worn out when we swim so she sleeps way better and it’s nice to be in the water when it’s unbearably hot outside

I am looking forward to our yearly trip to visit my two siblings and other extended family members. We go to the Salt Lake area at least once a year.

Besides I can use all the help I can get to look good. Can’t hardly keep makeup on. I don’t have a Contigo water bottle. I recently bought a Bubba mug and they are great for keeping drinks cold all day at work.
