I love sharing tools that make holistic, healthy living just a little bit easier—and tools that add joy to your daily rituals. Spring and Summer can be a time of taking things on the go, balancing hydration through these hot months and navigating changes in your skincare routine to meet the environment. To help you on this journey, our holistic shop guide offers a range of products designed specifically for the unique needs of the warmer seasons.

Daily Wellness Essentials

  • Hydration Booster: Stay hydrated and energized—you’ll feel an instant difference and your body will be quickly refreshed!
  • CBD Daily Softgels: These are slow release CBD so you experience the maximum benefits all throughout the day. Summer can be a time of change in routine and structure which often can bring about emotions of anxiety or overwhelm. CBD works to calm and balance from the inside out!
  • Plant Protein + Greens Smoothie: It’s often just too miserably hot for a meal in the summer here. Everything you need in a delicious, refreshing smoothie! Beyond just a protein powder—contains your daily dose of greens, probiotics + prebiotics and nourishing adaptogens,
  • Rippled Glass Cups: These are darling and so fun to make all your beverages.
  • glass straw
  • Mini Lunch Cooler: This is a lifesaver, especially for drinks, items for kids and snacks on the go. It’s saved us many times in this intense southern heat.
  • Matcha: When you need a boost, matcha is an energizing sip. Customize this Iced Vanilla Matcha Latte recipe to fit your desired taste. If I’m on-the-go, I’ll make mine in an insulated tumbler so it stays chilled for hours. 
  • Insulated water bottle: Forever my favorite water bottle, keeps your drinks cool all day!
  • Straw tote: Consciously crafted with natural ingredients, this bag is sturdy, holds everything and beautiful. 
  • Vitamin C Powder: Add a teaspoon to bathwater after the pool to neutralize the harmful effects of chlorine. Also great to add to smoothies for an adrenal + immune boost.

  • Nature Spray: All natural ingredients and totally effective.
  • Countersun Sunscreen Stick: A must have—clean sunscreen that works, you can apply this stick with zero clean up or messy hands. It fits in any space or bag—I have them stashed everywhere! Even my little ones can apply on their own.

Natural Skincare for a Refreshing Summer

  • Manuka Essential Oil: A Specialty here on our warm wheather holistic shop guide. Manuka works amazing to heal sun burns or even sun exposure! Add a few drops to your favorite moisturizer and massage into your skin. This oil is also very cleansing and I always bring a diffuser when I’m traveling to purify the air. This is a great essential we brought here on this holistic shop guide
  • Salt Shampoo Scrub: I love this for any time of year but it can be so restorative after time in the pool or a sweaty scalp. Use once a week!
  • Clear Pore Cleanser: Gently removes grime and impurities, especially during the hot and humid days. This saves my skin in the summer.
  • Instant Matte Toner: Apply this in the morning to help combat the effects of humidity and heat—this keeps your makeup in place and pores clear.
  • Cream Highlighter + Bronzer: Sun kissed shimmer.
  • Vanilla Citrus Deodorant: Such a refreshing scent for summer.
  • Clarifying Mask: The best in home facial treatment, this cleanses deep and clarifies your skin. Apply at night while you clean up or watch a movie.
  • Countersun Sheer Face Sunscreen: Sheer defense for your face, this blends right in and doesn’t leave you greasy or white. Clean ingredients that work!
  • Cooling Aloe Mist: Refresh your skin after a day in the sun.

Eco-Friendly Baby + Little Essentials Collage for the Flourish Holistic Spring and Summer Shop

Eco-Friendly Baby and Kids Essentials

  • Minnow Swim: I finally caved this year and invested in these swimsuits and am so happy with them! Especially for my daughter, they fit true to size and aren’t thin or revealing – a great find here on our holistic shop guide.
  • Boys board shorts + rashgaurds: My boys pretty much wear these as clothing all summer long. They stand up well after endless washes and I size up so they can wear for more than one summer. Rashguards are way easier than applying sunscreen to squirmy ones.
  • Teva Outdoor Sandals: These are amazing for all things summer. I size up and usually get 2 years use from them. Sturdy bottoms so no slipping.
  • Green Toys Beach Set: Sturdy + BPA free plastic, we’ve had this set for years. It’s indestructible.

  • Wet Go Green Hairbrush: Brushes through tangles with ease, and no tears. No idea why I haven’t use this before!
  • Countersun Sunscreen Stick: No worries about getting sunscreen in your little one’s eyes, this is a mess free sunscreen stick. Even my oldest can apply on her own!
  • Uppababy Minu Travel Stroller: When we lived in Europe, I traveled all over with this. It’s easy to fold and unfold with one hand and so light weight. Worth the investment.  
  • GoodPop: Organic fruit juice pops.
  • Organic Waffle Short Set: Soft, breeze and adorable—I’ve had these for 2 seasons now, they stand up well over time.
  • Artipoppe Linen Baby Carrier: This is worth every penny and the only carrier I’ve found that doesn’t hurt my back. The linen is so cool and breathable even in the hot summer. I love that baby can be tummy or forward facing, so you and your little one can use this for a long time.
