The month that pretty much
everyone can't wait for... Purely because of the holidays, sunshine & all
the other good things that come with that of course!
I think it's
safe to say that July's started off as a pretty hot month! Hot isn't even the
right word, it's been boiling! Well... It is summer after all! But I didn't
expect it to be this hot especially seeing as we don't get much sun in the UK.
Anyway, this hot weather got me inspired to write today's post which is 5 basic
essentials which are a MUST for summer!

| My Top 5 Basic Summer Essentials |
1) Sun Protection Lotion/ cream
Many of you
will probably be thinking yes that's pretty obvious Fatima but sometimes it's
easy to forget to put sun cream on because I've done it myself quite a few
times and ended up getting heat spots which end up turning in to a rash :( To
avoid that happening make sure you apply sun cream before going out on very hot
days. Oh & keep your sun protection cream somewhere where you will easily
spot it! That way you will remember to apply it before you leave your house!
2) Deodorant
Some good old
deodorant is always handy! In case you feel sweaty or just want to stay cool
then it's always good to carry or use a deodorant. My personal fave is the Forever
Living Aloe- Shield Deodorant Stick. I cannot tell you guys how amazing this is!
According to the company the product claims that ‘Aloe Ever-Shield® Deodorant
Stick provides effective, all-day protection against underarm odor and can be
applied directly after showering or waxing without stinging. Aloe Ever-Shield®
glides on smoothly, does not stain clothes, and maximizes the deodorant
properties of aloe vera while eliminating ingredients that could be harmful.’ I
can confidently say that this product has done all of the above. Since I came across
this I haven't gone back to a drugstore deodorant! It is very different to many
other deodorants I have come across and it literally keeps you feeling fresh
and cool. It's totally worth the price!
If you’re interested in purchasing this item, then you can message me & order one from me as I am a forever distributor.

3) Blotting Sheets
It's likely
that you’re going to feel oily and sweaty especially when the scorching hot sun
is shining directly on you! If you’re like me and get oily very quick or even
if you’re not oily but just feel really hot then blotting sheets is a MUST! I
always talk about how much I love these but in summer these will defo become
your best friend & need to be with you! Trust me you will thank me later ;)

4) Spray/ Perfume
You want to
make sure you smell fresh or nice throughout the day. Be sure to either carry
some sort of spray or perfume with you in your bag just to touch up throughout the day. After
all, everyone likes to smell good don't they?!
& last but
not least...
5) (The Very
Very Important one)
Water
DRINK PLENTY
OF WATER!! You don't want to get dehydrated. Your body will get tired easily
and needs enough energy to last the whole day! & our body is made up of
about 70% water so it is vital to continue to feed your body with water.
Oh & drinking plenty of water helps to keep your skin nice and clear.
Tip if your fasting: - Make sure you
drink tons of water at Suhoor/Sehri to last you throughout the day! You don't
want to get dehydrated in this hot weather.
