Hey lovelies!! In England over the past few days we've been struck with a heat wave which has meant the pools been put up and I've been spending most of my time in it! This has made me super excited to go away on holiday and lounge around by the pool. I have some little essentials that I always take down to the pool with me so today I thought I would share them with you!
I'm not one for wearing makeup down by the pool because I genuinely don't see the point in it, however I always take face wipes down with me. Sometimes if you've been in the pool for a few hours the chlorine can start to make your skin feel tight, in my case it does anyway. I always have these handy so if this problem does occur then I can wipe my face with one of these and it just makes my face feel a lot cleaner and fresher instantly.
A pretty obvious one but sun cream should be one of everybody's essentials when out in the sun, especially when abroad. I'm an absolute water baby so I'm forever in and out of the pool, if my sun cream isn't water proof then for me it's really important to top it up. I try and use the highest factor possible. This particular sun cream is water proof and smells incredible!
Sunglasses! I love these particular sunglasses as they were only a pound from Primark last year. They've held together so well. I suffer with hay fever and the sun can just generally sometimes really hurt my eyes, so if I go anywhere without these in summer I often regret it.
To be completely honest Vaseline is an essential in my day to day life regardless of the weather. Although, in summer I do take a lot more care to apply it more often. Vaseline is amazing for preventing sun burnt lips which sound so painful!! I've never had sunburnt lips and I'm pretty sure its because I've always had Vaseline on them.
When I was younger I loved reading, a lot, I was the kid who always had a book in her hand, especially Jacqueline Wilson ones. Whenever I go on holiday or just sit around in the sun I begin to enjoy reading again. I'm currently reading 'A Work In Progress' by Connor Franta I love this book so much, I'm almost finished and that's only from reading it sat by the pool!
I love listening to music when sat by the pool, I'm absolutely obsessed with my Mcfly playlist on Spotify lately. I am guilty of falling asleep whilst listening to music so I have to be careful not to wake up with headphone tan lines.. To prevent I've found tucking headphones behind my ears helps a lot.
If you're one for swimming and getting your hair wet in the pool you will know the struggle of getting out the pool and having knotty wet hair. Its a nightmare. Buy a tangle teaser!! I never used to have one and have only recently started using it. This saves your hair. I love that they don't tug on your hair and make brushing knots out so simple.
This is a hair band from the company MiTi, these hair ties don't leave crimps in your hair and they work! I'm going to do a review soon but I always have these in my bag by the pool. If I'm sat by the pool and decide to go for lunch and want to take my hair down after having it up I can with these. As my hair doesn't have a horrid ridge and looks amazing still!
