Cool Gear for a Hot Holiday

Independence Day is hot (and in some parts of the country, humid), filled with activity and down right exhausting. But with a few simple accessories, it can be a comfortable, carefree day the whole family will love. Some of the top accessories on my list this summer include:

  • Leighton Hat Brelli Set. This reversible bucket hat and umbrella combo come in a summery red and white print (which, in the hat, reverses to black) and will keep your face shielded from season’s hottest rays.
  • Polar Bear Coolers 24-pack Soft-side Cooler. If you’re headed to a picnic, pack some ice into this super-spacious, heavy-duty cooler, toss in some sandwiches, drinks and sides and make haste (so you can get the best seat at the park or beach). Best of all, because of this cooler’s duffel bag styling, it’s a cinch to carry even when it’s full.
  • Canine Cooler Large Pet Bed. Whether you’re taking your pooch with you to the park or you’re leaving him in the backyard, you’ll need to make sure he has plenty of water and a cool place to relax. So, for the holiday – and throughout the dog days of summer – snap up this thermo-regulating pet bed and give your pooch a cool, comfortable spot to lay. (And if you don’t already have a travel bowl for your best friend, this dog travel kit will give you everything you need to help keep him fed and hydrated away from home.
  • Cinzia Sun Glasses Vibrant. Slip on a great pair of shade and keep your peepers protected all day long. (One nice thing about this particular style is that it comes in four great colors to work with virtually any ensemble – holiday or otherwise.)
  • Picnic Time Water Duffel with Sports Bottle . Last, but certainly not least – you’ll need to stay hydrated this summer holiday. And the best way to do that is by keeping water with you at all times. Complete with a 1-liter sports bottle, this insulated bottle carrier boasts an adjustable, detachable strap, so keep this life-sustaining liquid right at your fingertips. For a patriotic touch, pick it up in Vista Blue.
