Let's just call a spade, a spade and admit to ourselves that it is officially Summer. It's hot as hell already and when I walk outside, even if it is 6:30am, you will be hit by a wall of heat that makes you regret leaving your A/C immediately. I love Summer for its longer days, but I also loathe it because I sweat quickly and that makes everything miserable. So things that are making me not hate being outside right now:
1. Show Me Your Mumu Riri Romper
I don't know which Instagram user introduced me to Show Me Your Mumu, but I now own two Riri Rompers and they are perfect for the humid days here. I've worn it to run around Miami, to the Darius Rucker concert, and then out at the Morikami Gardens. In addition to being light and airy, it also dries really quickly after you get poured on. It is virtually wrinkle proof. Highly recommend.

2. Marcelle BB Cream Golden Glow
I've sadly reached that stage in my life where I don't think I can go out makeup free, unless of course it is to the gym. To balance my need for coverage with the sweaty sticky runiness that is my constant state of being I've started using a BB cream. It is light, gives me the little bit of glow I am looking for, and doesn't make me feel like makeup is running down my face.
3. Sunscreens Galore
I've become a sunscreen fanatic. I do not leave the house without some sort of protection, and I have ensured that I have a sunscreen that fits whatever activity I am doing. My anti-aging eye cream has SPF (Supergoop), as does my tinted moisturizer (Sweet Science). I've got every day wear sunscreen (Supergoop again) and sports sunscreen for my sweaty outdoor activities (Banana Boat).
I was recently introduced to Block Island sunscreen, which is good for sensitive skin and is ultra-lightweight. It doesn't feel goopey or heavy (hence the lightweight) and goes on really easy. It's also pretty nice that it is all natural and organic.
That's what is currently on my list, and it isn't even the Summer Solstice yet. What's in your summer routine?
