    I also like to wear linen clothing in the summer , but I do mind the wrinkles. My solution is a spray bottle with water. Put clothes on an hanger, spray generously on the wrinkly parts, let dry. This, I find, works great as long as your clothes do not require washing.

    Hello from 🇨🇦. I agree with several of your summer favorites. I have a really high prescription and I just got prescription sunglasses so I can read on the beach and my south facing patio in the summer. In Canada most people remove shoes at the door too. As I also have feet issues, my go to foot wear is Birkenstocks year round. Watermelons! Yes! My family doesn’t like watermelons so it all mine😊. Linen clothes is a new addition to my wardrobe but needs to be blended with cotton so it isn’t too scratchy. Will we get a wardrobe fashion show of your linen pieces? For me hats are essential because I get sunstroke easily and sometimes I might even pull out a colorful umbrella😊. I love your channel and look forward to your videos. Thanks for continuing to post great content. 😁

    I love this video, it made me think of my own summer essentials. Water bottle as well for me. I agree with you on the linen shirts. My first linen t-shirt I bought unknowingly. They were on sale so I bought two and only when I washed them did I realize they were a linen blend. Now I am always on the look out for affordable linen pieces to add to my summer wardrobe, now I have dresses and linen shorts. It’s always cotton or linen fabric for me in the summer. Shorts are an essential for me. I have two in rotation during the summer. One other essential for me are sandals. I try my best not to wear shoes in the summer months as I feel my toes need a break from being cramped in socks and shoes all winter long so I have sandals of all types from Birkenstocks to very formal sandals with a low heel for more formal settings.

    30 years ago I was a camp counselor and wore tevas EVERYDAY! By the end of the summer I had the best teva tan ever! 😆 Enjoy your summer ☀️

    Hi Benita. Very good list.
    I’m with you on the prescription glasses. When I replace my distance glasses I’m definitely getting prescription sunglasses as well, for out and about and driving. I also have reading glasses but always sit in the shade because my skin burns easily. I’ve seen that water bottle before. Lovely design. I use filtered water but that’s good for when your out and run out of filtered water. I should buy one. Haven’t seen flip flops with arch support- excellent. I only bought mine for the shower at the gym. Flat ones give me a sore instep. I love the Teva sandals. Didn’t know that’s why they’re called but I’ve always thought they look good and are perfect for summer. I’m a fan of linen too. Natural fabrics breathe and it always looks good. Keep enjoying the watermelon. It has excellent health benefits I recently found out - not just for hydration!

    Hi Benita
    I love your pation, i remember how it was in your early videos when you moved into your apartment. It turn out to be a cosy little area to chill😎 with all those green plants. Really lovely. 👏👏👏

    A clipboard! Such a good idea. I wear Chaco sandals in summer. Similar to Tevas but more sturdy for hiking & have great arch support. Hi Mini & Bonus!

    Nine essentials from of your list are my summer essentials too! I was never good at crosswords, but I do Griddler puzzles instead. I have the same problem with my legs though - easily tan on my upper body but legs stay pasty. Must give self-tan a go this summer :)

    Its very HOT in Texas during the summer which makes staying indoors most of the time come June -sept. Normally I spend a lot of time outside, but hot weather is not my friend. If i do go out for walks its done early morning or late evening. I love linen as well during the summer months. I’m going to look into the water flask you mentioned. I currently use a hydro flask thats great for the gym 32 oz, but for other outings its a bit hard to carry. I love summer reading as well, but I’m more of a hardcover book person, but trying out some audio books as well. Enjoy your summer and be safe.

    Aerogard and citronella candles outside to ward off mosquitos. We let the cat out at night to chase the Christmas beetles then we bring her in. She’s older so doesn’t escape. We keep up with neighbourhood news so as we know where snakes have been sighted in the area. Fly screens on the windows and doors. A nice chilled glass of wine, of course. Welcome to Australia🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

    I always love seeing your garden, its the one thing I miss so much where I live.....we have a roof top garden but it is not the same as just walking out to your own patio.......I also love linen in the hot weather and don’t mind paying a little extra for it as it lasts, I took a look at the water bottle you mentioned however it was $142 on Amazon and I just didn’t want to pay that much..........like you I also have bad arches so I wear OOFOS around the house , they are an orthopaedic flip flop that gives lots of support...I have a pair of Birkenstock as well but I find I can’t wear them on the street anymore as I have really bad arthritis in my feet......I don’t do audio books, but again I love a good crime novel.........have a great week...........Donna in Toronto
