Olive Boat & Pit Port
“This time of year, not much sounds better to me than marinated olives and an Aperol spritz or a glass of chilled rosé. This sleek little olive boat comes with a ‘pit port’ for stashing pits. If you care about maintaining ‘the aesthetic’ when you host, you’ll love this.” — Alissa Harb, Managing Editor

Rose Body Soap
“I love a luxe body soap but hate spending the money on it. This one by Mario Badescu feels luxe without the price tag. It’s just $8 but smells wonderful (a strong rose scent) and feels really nice on the skin. It hasn’t dried out my skin at all and has lasted me quite a while. Definitely recommend!” — Bailey Torkelson, Marketing Manager

Solar Buddies Sunscreen Applicators
“I love these GENIUS sunscreen applicators for the kiddos. I used to dread having to put sunscreen on my kids simply because of how difficult it was, but this little invention has made it so much easier and fast! You fill the applicator with the sunscreen of your choice and roll it on everywhere you need while the sponge on the underside helps rub it in. You may have to rub a little in by hand after, but nothing near what I had to do before Solar Buddies came into my life!” — Lauren Cummings, Operations Manager
Solar Buddies are refillable, kid-friendly sunscreen applicators. Image: Amazon
Snake River Farms’ Brisket
“Snake River Farms has American Wagyu brisket that is perfect for smoking low and slow. With a higher fat content than USDA prime, you’re guaranteed a super flavorful, juicy cut.” — Brandon Smith, Account Executive

Crystal Light Powder
“I’ve had a longtime love affair with coffee and drink far too much of it. This is a common topic of discussion amongst my family and friends, who often encourage me to drink more water — something I struggle with. Recently, we’ve been on a bit of a flavored water kick in my house, and I discovered that Crystal Light makes flavor powders with caffeine. They’re delicious, encourage me to up my water consumption, and get me through that sleepy midday slump that sometimes hits. I like the variety pack, which includes Citrus, Grape, Wild Strawberry, and Peach-Mango.” — Jenna Bratcher, Lead Nashville Writer & Associate Editor

Frixion Erasable Pens
“I am a total pen and stationery nerd. These erasable pens are the BEST because they write like a real pen and actually erase! And they come in lots of fun colors.” — Chelsea Wilhite, Account Executive
Available in multiple colors, these pens have a versatile design that allows you to erase mistakes. Image: Amazon
Happy Place
“Emily Henry is one of my all-time favorite romance authors, and her newest book, Happy Place, doesn’t disappoint. The perfect beach read, the story follows Wyn and Harriet as they navigate a vacation with friends as ex-fiancés. The catch? No one knows that they’ve broken up, so they pretend to still be a couple. It’s so heartbreakingly beautiful, and the ending will likely leave you ugly crying. Five stars all around!” — Brianna Goebel, Sponsored Content Manager & Associate Editor

ICONIC London Prep-Set-Glow
“This is my absolute favorite setting spray for the spring and summer! It makes your makeup last all day and gives you a beautiful overall dewy look. It’s a must-have for your summer makeup routine!” — Amanda Stanfill, Account Executive
Featuring extracts of cucumber and chamomile, this hydrating mist will leave skin revitalized and glowing. Image: Amazon
SANTINY Pleated Tennis Skirt
“I love this tennis skirt for running errands! It’s so lightweight, a fun color, and is a good length.” — Katelyn Caughron, Client Relations & Social Media Coordinator
Tennis skirts are all the rage right now, and this option from Amazon is comfortable and lightweight. Image: Amazon
Organic Jalapeño Limeade
“I have been making poolside margs with Trader Joe’s Organic Jalapeño Limeade. The tart lime pairs perfectly with the slight spice from the jalapeño flavor.” — Anne Henley Walker, Content Marketing Assistant & Agency Relations

‘Smokey Paprika’ Sauce
“We had lunch catered from Tinwings, and the ‘Smokey Paprika’ sauce that came with the sliders was amazing!” — Jay Graves, COO
Cameron Wedge Sandal
“My favorite new pair of shoes that I’ll be wearing all summer is the Cameron Wedge Sandal by Sorel. I feel like I could walk all day in this shoe, and I love the bold design. I bought the pink color in suede, but it comes in five different color combos.” — Mary Breen, Website Designer
This wedge offers a comfortable EVA footbed and a hook and loop closure for an adjustable fit. Image: Sorel
Happy June!
