Hi Reader!

​
Summer is in full swing, and I’ve rounded up 15 fun things that are perfect summer buys —from breezy dresses and beach essentials to outdoor entertaining must-haves. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or just soaking up the sunshine at home, I hope these favorites add a little extra joy to your season. Let’s dive in!

15 Summer Things I'm Eyeing & Buying

A friend has these CRZ YOGA dolphin hem running shorts. They're only $28 and come in a ton of fun colors.

​These airy shorts are UPF50 and are only $24. Plus, they're a bit longer in length so great for us "older" ladies.

Get you some Kohv sunglasses! They're a great price, and you get 15% off with KATHEATS15.

I can't believe this huge beach bag is just $9.99. It would pack well for a beach vacation and is great for a girls' trip.

These wet/dry bags (for swimwear, diapers, etc.) are amazing for pool days and summer camp. I also use one as my reusable gym bag pouch for my post-sauna / sweat clothes instead of using a plastic bag or getting my gym bag soaked.

I've heard great things about this mineral sunscreen that goes on as a powder. My sister loves it.

Have you tried Salt & Stone deodorant!? It's so good! This is my favorite scent.

Kids misplaced their swim goggles again!? This two-pack is just $9.99.

One of my friends recently raved about these exfoliating toning pads! They remind me of the clean and clear ones we used in the 90s!

This maxi dress with tie straps is so pretty and comes in summery prints.

These plates are made out of wheat straw and would be ideal for outdoor BBQs and potlucks.

This two-piece linen set would be super cute with a pair of Birkenstocks.

Love this cute beach cover-up with pockets!

These fruity inflatable pool floats are too cute!

I just bought more Turkish towels for $19 for a set of six after the kids left theirs at camp (ugh!) These are the best towels for the beach and pool though!

Best Book of the Summer

I started this book while I was in Sicily and absolutely loved it! It's about a woman going through somewhat of a mid-life crisis who travels to Sicily to learn about her aunt's past. It follows two women-centric stories, one in the past and one in the present. Both were excellent plots! read it!
