July 4th Weekend Essentials

4th of July Must Haves

It is one of my favorite holidays – the 4th of July! I wanted to share all of my summer essentials I must have with me as I spend my weekend with family, friends, and food. Spending your day out in the sun, whether you are at the beach or a BBQ, you always have to pack (and wear) items that will last throughout the day. In honor of the 4th, I picked out four items that you can find with me all weekend long.
First, I always pack my powder compact with SPF to freshen up my makeup and ensure coverage from harmful UV rays as the day goes along. For complete coverage and an effortless look I use the Chanel Les Beiges healthy glow sheer colour with SPF. This perfect compact provides a sheet, luminous finish that leaves me feeling refreshed.
I have to stay hydrated with COCO5 all natural hydrating coconut water. Coconut water is one beverage that truly quenches my thirst, and my kids love to sip on it when they are running around. I recommend the COCO5 Citrus Splash!
This oversized hat from August Accessories in black or white is essential if you are spending your weekend poolside! Nothing screams old Hollywood glamour like this statement piece that also keeps you cool from the heat.
Most importable, I cannot leave home without my iPhone, but lasting all day with a full charge is nearly impossible. The mophie powerstation mini is portable, helps me stay charged all day long, and is small enough to fit in my handbag.
