The Chirpyest: Emma’s Essentials You Need for Summer

by chirpyest May 20, 2022

Hi! Emma here, Community Coordinator at chirpyest! I am here to provide you with essentials you need. I’ll be honest…I have been doing a lot of online shopping…maybe too much…but always using chirpyest to get up to 15% cash back on my purchases.

I decided to take over the blog and share some of my current essentials.

Skincare

Face Cleanser | Ultra Repair Cream | CeraVe Sunscreen | Tan Express

Above are some of my all time favorite self care products. I have been using the First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser and Repair Cream for years now and it works better than anything else I have used!

The Cerave Tinted Mineral Sunscreen is perfect for a day when you don’t want to wear makeup, but want some coverage and SPF. This sunscreen is tinted so it evens out your complexion, but most importantly will protect your face from the sun. Especially if you are using a toner or retinol in your skincare routine…I cannot say that enough!! I recently started self tanning and am loving the St. Tropez Tan Express. I am very pale and I do not tan at all, so this has been essential lately to add some color to my skin.

Fashion

Suit | Shorts | Set | Romper

Princess Polly, Revolve, Boohoo and Target are some of my go-to brands. The Feels Like Summer Shorts from Princess Polly are my absolute new favorite pair of jean shorts. They are high waisted (I will not be hopping on the low-rise jean trend) and also super comfortable.

The other items above are currently in my shopping cart. This swimsuit is so fun and would be perfect for a lake, pool or beach day. The set and romper are perfect because they can be worn casually or dressed up depending on the shoes and accessories you add.

Accessories

Personally I am in love with the white shoes and beaded bag. I am in desperate need of new sneakers and I think these might be my next purchase. I also own very similar jewelry to the pieces above, I strictly wear simple silver pieces. The black wedges are the perfect summer time shoe to slip on with any outfit.
