RPM's Summer Kit

While California may be confused by the seasons lately, the fluctuating conditions are giving us plenty of time to prep for Fresno’s summer heat. Temperatures are starting to rise, and we are coming in hot (no pun intended) with our Summer Essentials Kit. Here are our must-haves for this season - you’re welcome.

Coola Organic SPF Sunscreen: This mineral SPF30 secret weapon will be our new best friend this summer. Not only is it oil-free with plant-derived ingredients, it also protects your skin from Blue Light and pollution (aka, your tech screens). Since we always have our cell or laptops on hand, this product is made for us.

Eau Fraîche NoMo: Who said insect repellant has to smell strictly of citronella? This natural, essential-oil based perfume has notes of fresh orange, lemon, lavender, peppermint, geranium, and cedarwood. We’ll be spritzing this all year long to keep those bugs at bay.

RPM’s Summer Playlist: Our team had some fun putting together the ultimate summer playlist. It’s a solid mix that serves up a little something for everyone, and every occasion. Whether you’re planning a Backyard BBQ or Summer Pool Party, we have you covered.

Pineapple: Yes, we’re talking about the fruit. Thanks to Well + Good, we’re all clued in on this summertime fruit’s magical powers for your overall gut health, hydration, and immune system. We recommend trying some of these *delish* recipes for your next summer soireé.

St. Tropez Self Tanner: We’re skipping the UVs this summer and grabbing our beloved St. Tropez Express Bronzing Mousse. Perfect for the on-the-go lifestyle, you can get that beachy glow in just an hour with this beauty essential.

Drybar’s Mai Tai Spritzer: This is an absolute staple. Whether you just had a fresh wash or came out of the pool, this salt spray combines  vitamins A, B, and D with algae, aloe, and avocado oil - giving you the perfect beach waves while keeping a matte finish. Mermaid hair, don’t care.

FUNBOY Pool Toys: We’re all aboard the creative pool floaty train, and FUNBOY has taken it to the next level. These over-the-top floats are worth the investment and total summer Insta material. . Spend the day in the clouds or on your private jet - the possibilities are endless.

So, are you ready to make a splash? SAME. Let the heat wave begin.
