Summer is one of my favorite seasons. There is so much you can do when summer is here. Being outdoors is something my family and I enjoy a lot. We love to be outdoors whenever possible, and summer can make that happen. Sometimes it can be hard to think of something to do though, and then you might get bored, especially kids. Since kids are usually home most of the summer, they sometimes get bored easily. I have some products for the summer that can be for everyone, including adults and kids. Check out the list below. Hopefully some of these can help you this summer.
#UpsideDownChallenge Game Backyard Edition
Looking for some fun games to play this summer? I’ve got the perfect game for you. My family and I have already played this one, and we have been having a blast with it. It gets you up and moving, and there is a bit of a twist to this game too. It is all flipped upside down. Players attempt to complete seemingly easy activities such as tossing a ball into a cup, stacking cups into a pyramid or even just walking through an obstacle course made out of rings while wearing goggles that flip your vision upside down. It’s fantastic for game night, backyard barbecues, and picnics and will create hours of laughter and entertainment! We sure love it!! It’s a great game to get everyone together with to play.

Rapid Rope-Utility Rope
Ever needed rope and you didn’t have any on you? This has happened to me before. The Rapid Rope is a product that I would say is a must have. I like to keep this on me in my vehicle, because you never know when you might need some rope. There have many many times actually that I have needed some rope and I didn’t have any on me. This could have helped save me a lot, so now I make sure to have this on hand. It’s so easy to use too. This is a refillable canister, so you could always put more rope inside. This is what I love about it. You can use the length of rope you need and cut it off with the blade that is already installed. You don’t have to get your own as this canister already has one. Amazing, right?!

Siblings-Lavender Soap Bar
If you are ready to wind down after a long hard day, sometimes a nice bar of soap can actually help when you take a bath/shower. Having a bath/shower is already very relaxing, but having a lavender bar of soap is actually helpful as well. Lavender, eucalyptus, and tonka bean calm the senses, while oatmeal, olive, and coconut oil leave your skin soft and nourished. I honestly think a good soap like this can be really relaxing, which is why I usually go for lavender. It just has that nice calming affect that I love so much.
Soap that’s actually skincare:
Oatmeal kernels gently buff away dry, dead skin, leaving your skin soft and refreshed.
Olive and coconut oil deeply moisturize, helping to strengthen the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
100% natural oils of Lavender, Thyme, Camphor, Galbanum, Eucalyptus, and Tonka Bean
Triple-milled for a rich, luxurious lather that lasts and lasts.
