Simplify Your Summer Routine
The latest buys to beat the heat, shave on-the-go and protect your smile
From the LifeMinute team
Summertime and the livin' is easy... or at least it should be! Between sweating it out under the hot sun and trying to keep your cool at that pool party when you forgot to shave, it's safe to say summer has its bummers. Shape Magazine's Editor at Large Bahar Takhtehchian clues you in to some buys to melt away some of the season's biggest dilemmas.
Can't take the heat?
Now summertime is all about spending time outdoors, but when it gets really hot, sometimes being outside is the last place you want to be. Bahar says, "Bring the freshness of the outdoors into your home." To do that, try the new Bounce Bursts, beads of concentrated perfume that go right into your washing machine to emit amazing fragrance onto your favorite fabrics. Sprinkle as much or as little as you want into your washing machine to get your towels, socks and shoes smelling just as fresh as if you were outside.
Forgot to shave?
"Summer is filled with those 'I wish I shaved moments'... whenever you get invited to a last-minute barbecue or a fun pool party," says Bahar. You never want to be caught without smooth skin, which is why Bahar loves Gillette Venus Snap with Embrace. All you need to do is wet this portable compact razor and it's ready to use. It's got a mini handle and five blades, so you'll get that ultra close smooth shave on-the-go.
Mouth feeling grimy?
Oral health is important all year long, but did you know you might be exposing your toothbrush to bacteria? The Intelident Toothbrush Shield is great for travel, and whenever you're on-the-go, to protect your brush. "Think of this as a quick-drying breathable shield for your toothbrush," says Bahar, "It actually acts as a surgical mask for your toothbrush, so it's 99.9% effective as a barrier against airborne and surface bacteria." It's individually wrapped as well, so you can replace the shields every seven days. A ten pack is just around $5 at Walgreen stores or at toothbrushshield.com.
