Love it . . . Keep it. . .Summertime Essentials

Welcome to Love it Keep it! It’s officially summer, so that means it’s time for a love it keep it list of my current summertime must haves. Let’s get started!
My number one most essential summertime item is sunscreen. I’m really fair-skinned so I basically wear sunscreen all year round, but I up my SPF level for the summer. Let’s all wear sunscreen, okay? Just say no to skin cancer. My favorite is Neutrogena’s Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock. It is really lightweight and doesn’t leave me feeling greasy at all.
Anybody who knows me knows I am obsessed with chap stick and lip gloss. I have to have something on my lips at all times or I can’t think. My favorite lip balm is Softlips in raspberry. It glides on smooth and has SPF 20! It is even perfect under lipstick.
A lot of bloggers have been chatting about this next product: Tresemme’s Freshstart dry shampoo. I picked it up about a month ago and I’m in love. I have dry hair so I wash my hair every other day. In the summer my hair can get a little messy and this stuff works wonders to cut down on the grease! I’ve even gone two nights without washing thanks to this stuff….and my hair still smells fresh and clean!
And what would summer be with out a good juicy book to read? I always am reading and can’t wait to start the new Sookie Stackhouse series Dead in the Family. Thanks to the bff Erin, I’ve had this book for a few weeks but haven’t had a chance to read it. It is next on my list for sure!
And finally I need a fun summer TV show to watch while all of my favorites are on break. Enter Pretty Little Liars on ABC Family. There have only been a few episodes but I am hooked! So much drama! So many secrets… 
So, what summer essentials are you loving and keeping this week?
