Summer is here, and as we get busier we often forget the things we need to enjoy the season more!
STAY HYDRATED! Many of us do not drink enough water, and drinking water is so very important for the functions of our body. Drinking water also helps the skin stay looking younger longer. DRINK YOUR WATER! MAKE IT FUN! GET A WATER BOTTLE THAT HAS A TRACKER OF THE AMOUNT OF WATER YOU’VE DRANK EACH HOUR. DOWNLOAD AN APP ON YOUR PHONE THAT REMINDS YOU TO DRINK MORE WATER. DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO DRINK MORE WATER.
WEAR SUNSCREEN EVERY DAY, EVEN ON CLOUDY DAYS!
Wear Sunglasses outdoors, even on cloudy days! Protect those beautiful eyes!
WEAR LIP BALM WITH SUNSCREEN PROTECTION!
Always carry a portable snack with you, such as a protein bar or these delicious snacks in pouches. I promise they really are not gross, and they really help when you need a quick snack and don’t have the time to really eat.
I don’t always take my kindle with me, so I keep a magazine or two in my bag just in case.
I have been stuck in traffic for very long times due to an accident further up the road, and it’s nice to have something besides the radio to distract you while you are practically parked on the Interstate.
And how many times has a quick visit to the doctor taken longer??? And we all know their magazines aren’t always the most interesting.
And most important, before you toss these items into your bag and go, make sure your car is properly maintained and ready for the trip!
BE SURE TO CARRY AT LEAST A SMALL FIRST AID KIT, EXTRA WATER AND SNACKS, SUCH AS CRACKERS THAT WILL DEAL WITH EXTREME TEMPS INSIDE THE CAR.
Spare tire and lug wrench
TOILET PAPER (UGH…I KNOW) BUT ROADSIDE STOPS MAY BE NEEDED, AND HOW MANY REST AREAS HAVE YOU STOPPED AT THAT DIDN’T HAVE TOILET PAPER?
I hope you enjoy your Summer regardless of what you do. Stay safe! Stay hydrated!
