It’s getting warm out there, and summer is just around the corner. Are you taking the kids on vacation or maybe hiding out on a sunny day lakeside? We visit Daytime Chicago to share some of her fave summer essentials for you and your family.
First off, you mentioned taking kids on vacation

Let’s talk makeup next. Statement blush is all the rage for the season, and these nourishing YENSA creams are so pretty!

Next off, skin and hair. Summer has a weird way of simultaneously making things oily with sweat but super dried out.
This body collection brings hyaluronic to your body wash and lotion! I love how they supported moms for Mother’s Day as well!
Olay Hyaluronic Acid Body Collection
PRICE: $5-$10
SHOP: @walmart
To provide maternal support for mothers both inside and out, Olay Body and Walmart joined forces to donate $100,000 to Every Mother Counts, a non-profit dedicated to making pregnancy and childbirth safe, equitable, and respectful for every mother everywhere. Both of the products in the promotion are made with the prestige skincare ingredient Hyaluronic Acid. Known to attract and retain moisture like a magnet, Hyaluronic Acid can hold up to 1000X its weight in moisture. Products are available from a range of $5-$10.
