(The Six Best Products You Need In Your Life This August)
The summer holidays are upon us and we’re rushing headlong into August. The weather’s hotting up and for many, the children are off school and at home for the foreseeable future.
For most, it’s the season of fun in the sun, music festivals, trips abroad and time with friends and family. But the long days and heat can take their toll on the best of us.
Take a look at our six summer holiday hacks below, collated to help make the next month or so as stress-free and enjoyable as possible, whatever you’re up to or wherever in the world you may be.
- At home or away, keep those pesky bees and wasps off your drink by investing in some cool-looking cups with lids. We like these traditional Mason Jar-style drinks vessels from Cook, Serve, Enjoy. Practical and pretty.
- Make your garden glow as the day turns to dusk, with these wonderful solar-powered globe lights courtesy of Sainsburys. At £20 for 20 lights and no running costs, it’s a no-brainer for lighting the deck for sundowners.
- Summer is undoubtedly bug bite season. Whether you’re at home in the UK or away on hols, insects and mosquitos are at their worst at this time of year. But worry not! These brilliant repellent patches from The Mosquito Company can be used like stickers on your clothes and skin and work hard to keep creepy crawlies at bay. Way better than sprays and gels and you won’t have any problems covering the kids in them either.
- Keep your brain firing on all cylinders and your energy levels up, with the help of supplemental oxygen. These miracle cylinders are made with an ingenious inhaler cap for ease of use and regular breaths throughout the day will reinvigorate your senses and restore calm, while helping you keep on top of things.
- As we continue to adjust to life with COVID in the air, it’s easy to become paranoid about catching germs and becoming poorly if you’re travelling over the summer. Stay protected for up to 4 hours thanks to this clever organic skin protector cream from ClearO2. It’s effective against 99.9998% of viruses, bacteria and fungi and is suitable for use on all skin types – even little ones.
- Off on a beach holiday? Have kids who hate sand stuck between their toes? Make sure to pack baby powder! Pop a bottle into your bag and you can wave goodbye to the sand tantrums forever. Simply sprinkle on and dust off.
