A post-pandemic summer is nothing to take lightly. It’s like we’ve been given a second chance at a new, better way of living life, it would be a shame and embarrassment to fail this time around. The summer of our post-pandemic lives start with the 4 basic essentials that I have on my “getting ready to go out today check-off list”.

You’ll need a hat, preferably a bucket, because I know that even with a good snapback cap, sun spots do find their way around the sides of the face. You’d be absurd if you walked out of the house without a pair of sunnies. Next is not the most obvious, but we do tend to forget that our lips can get sunburned as well. Steer clear of burnt, chapped lips and face. Lastly, do not leave the house without wearing a healthy dose of SPF. I’m not trying to be your mother, but someone who generally cares.
