My Grab and Go Summer Essentials

Summer is for spontaneous adventures, sandy toes and memory making. But a little preparation goes a long way.

Over the years, I’ve learnt that having a few key essentials always within reach means less stress and more time to enjoy the moment.

Heres what I always keep in the car and in my bags during the summer months.

Car Essentials

I keep a basket in the boot all summer long so we’re always ready for an impromptu adventure.

✓ Picnic blanket
✓ Quick-dry towels
✓ Spare clothes
✓ Scooters
✓ Football or ball
✓ Sun cream
✓ Antihistamines
✓ Plasters
✓ Wet wipes

Bag Essentials

These are the things I rarely leave home without during the summer months

✓ Sun cream
✓ Sunglasses
✓ Lip balm
✓ Tissues
✓ Hand sanitiser
✓ Antihistamines
✓ Mini first aid kit
✓ Wet wipes
✓ Emergency snacks
✓ Water bottle
✓ Portable phone charger

My best tip?

It’s not about packing everything, it’s about having the right things ready to go.

With a few simple essentials in the car and in my bag I feel prepared from whatever the day brings.

Because the best summer memories are often the unplanned ones.
