Ten Summertime Favorites from Amazon

Here are a few of my favorite things for summer:

1. Quick Dry Beach Towel

This is one of my favorite products of the summer. It’s thin and dries fast. My son used it at the pool the other day, and let his friend use it afterwards because he forgot his – he said it didn’t even feel wet!

Look how small it folds up compared to the standard beach towel:

2. Italian Ice

These are our favorite summertime treat. These popsicles stay soft and slushy and are so delicious!

.

3. Alba Face Wash

This is my favorite face wash of all time. I love the pump on top – it’s easy to use and not messy! It makes my face smell so good, and feel soft and moisturized.

.

4. Crystal Light Packets

I pour a packet into water bottles and my kids love it. It’s a great alternative to soda, and keeps your kids getting all the liquids they need during summer. There are yummy flavors like Raspberry Lemonade, Cherry Pomegranate – and more!

.

5. Doggy Waste Bags

I’d never thought I’d have an opinion on ‘poop bags,’ but now that I’m a dog owner, I suddenly care about these things. There’s only one kind of waste bags I like to buy – and it’s this one from Amazon! Not too thin, not too small, and easy to tie up!

6. Blank Books for Journaling

The teacher in me wants to keep my kids writing over the summer. I ask my boys to write or draw their favorite thing from the day, the trip, etc. These are fun to look back on from year to year, summer to summer!

7. Zees Zees Lemon Blueberry Bars

I have these on my “subscribe and save” list because I can only find them on Amazon and also because they are:

• yummy!
• Quick and easy!
• Loved by my boys and me!

If you have to leave early and don’t have time for breakfast, or if you are going to be gone for several hours and need an easy snack – these are great!

8. Bluetooth Speaker

I bought this one for my husband for Father’s Day and it’s been great! It’s a much better price than some of the other wireless speakers, and works just as well. These come in handy if you are going to the pool, playing in the backyard, or sitting on the patio and want to listen to music or a podcast.

.

9. Under eye gel pads

My mom and I love these collagen eye patches. They are so easy to use – just open the package and stick them under your eyes. The moisture from the patches and the flexibility helps them form and stick. There is an instant cooling effect that I feel which probably helps with any eye puffiness. (Putting them in the fridge before hand makes them even better)! They have a moisturizing effect that really plumps up my fine lines in only 15 minutes of wearing them. I like that they are indivdually packaged to maximize the moisture in each patch and reduce any contamination. The patches are large enough to cover my under eye are well. I think it provides better and longer-lasting results than eye cream.

10. Plants

I would have never considered getting a plant on Amazon until I asked my neighbor where they found this fabulous plant: “Amazon” they told me!
