Okay, so I know we’re nearly two months into summer, so this post is a little late. But, hey, it’s going to be hot for another couple of months. I thought I’d put together a list of essentials for readers when it’s freaking hot as crap outside. I hope you enjoy!
1.) This Awesome Hammock
This hammock was an Amazon Daily Deal well over a year ago. I remember it because I contemplated buying it at the time. It was going for a wicked ridiculous price. My dumb self didn’t buy it and, that is something I will regret for a long time.
Seriously though, this would a PERFECT reading spot on a hot summer day.
Purchase your sweet ass hammock.
2.) This Bitchin’ Fan
Admittedly, I chose this fan because it has a remote. Let’s be real, you don’t want to be getting up out of your hammock to turn the fan on, right? I didn’t think so. Plus it’s called “The Blizzard” and that just makes me feel cold, which is what I want to feel when the Lord creates an inferno of hell outside.
Get Yoself a Blizzard and a Remote
WATCH THIS! – Where the hell is Moses? <– If you guys haven’t watched this, you absolutely MUST! I die laughing every single time.
3.) Music from These Fine Folks!
Search for your next favorite summer tune!
4.) This Fancy Ass Water Bottle
I’ve yet to experience the supposed awesomeness of the S’Well Water Bottle but apparently it works miracles. And by “works miracles” I mean it keeps your drinks hot or cold for a long ass time. So I thought this magical bottle (that’s probably made from wizardry) would be perfect for long summer nights reading outside in that sweet ass hammock (bringing it full circle people). How many times can I use the word “ass” in this paragraph? Ass. Ass. Ass. Ass. Ass.
5.) Not Your Father’s Root Beer
Author Beth Ehemann posted about this beer on Facebook a few weeks ago. And when I saw it I thought The Lord has created a beer especially for me. I’m not a beer drinker. But this girl LOVES root beer, like really.
This Root Beer beer is called “Not Your Father’s Root Beer” and it’s distributed by Small Town Brewery. Go to their website to find out where you can get yoself some of this good ass shizzle.
6.) Be Smart. Go Waterproof.
Don’t jack up your precious eReader *my precious* by getting water all up in there. There is a waterproof case for just about every device.
7.) A Freaking Float!
Look at how happy she looks. That could be you. You can get your adult floaty right here.
8.) Always wear Sunscreen
While Baz Luhrmann’s song/speech from the 1990’s focused on living a happy life, the title preaches an important lesson here. KOLBEE, I’m talking to you.
Kolbee, this Banana Boat stuff is SPF 100. I think you’ll be good. And it’s a SPRAY, so it’s super easy!
- Banana Boat Sunscreen UltraMist Sport Performance Broad Spectrum Sun Care Sunscreen Spray – SPF 100, (Kolbee, it’s less than $10)
Or if you want the classic lotion stuff, you can get the goods here.
Get yourself some sunscreen. Apply it frequently and you won’t be crying in pain later.
9.) These Beach Towels
This towel (Purchase Here) is super cute and kind of hippie looking (would also be great for a picnic blanket). I love it! But if you’re wanting something a little more beach towel-like check this one out:
OUTLANDER fans, you’re going to love this!! It’s a towel that turns into a kilt! It works for the ladies and the dudes. (Hildy, I totally posted this for you!)
10.) Mood Lighting
Set the mood with these twinkle lights. I believe the description on the first is “Fairy Lights”. FAIRY LIGHTS, PEOPLE! I need to get some of these. And you know you want that tacky “It’s 5:00 Somewhere” sign. 😉
11.) Will Sumner…Trust me, he’s essential
- Purchase Beautiful Player (and thank me later)
- Read my Review for Beautiful Player
12.) Cute Flippy Floppies!
These are Roxy Women’s Mimosa V Flip-Flop and they’re on sale too! I thought they were cute.
Well there you have it, folks! I hope you fellow bookworms like what I picked. If not, that’s fine too! Have a great Tuesday!
