Memorial Day weekend is almost here and we want you to be all set up and the most prepared you can be.
Whether you’re off for a long weekend away, hitting up a BBQ with friends and family or hanging poolside we wanted to give you all a roundup of our Memorial Day necessities.
In this post we’re going to go over our favorite cocktails and mocktails, recipes that are perfect for a crowd, how to stay safe in the sun and beat the heat.. Let’s get into it.
Memorial Day Essentials:
♡ Mocktails
+ raspberry pear spritzer
+ kombucha
+ Olipop or Poppi (pour over ice with a citrus garnish and a fun straw for a vibe)
+ iced SporTEA with a lemon wedge (more on why Lauryn loves it here)
+ Mountain Valley sparkling water with fresh squeezed lemon, lime or grapefruit juice
♡ Cocktails
+ skinny marg, with or without a jalepeño, half rim of Tajin
+ Spritz Society sparkling wine – perfect to take to a party (listen to the founder on The HIM & HER Show)
+ Dry Farm Wines (but only if you DON’T WANT A HANGOVER)
+ if you feel like showing off, invite some friends over and impress them with this cocktail smoking cloche
+ la piscine de Champagne, aka a huge wine glass (Lauryn loves these) with Champagne, but the trick is to keep adding ice so you stay hydrated. It’s THE drink in the South of France
♡ Bites
+ peach habanero salsa with Siete chips
+ homemade sourdough bread bowl filled with spinach and artichoke dip
+ watermelon jerky
+ cauliflower thins pizzas
+ super cute strawberry sheet cake
♡ Sun Safe Style
+ long sleeved swim suit or this one that covers your chest
+ Eric Javitz visor (an investment but so worth it)
+ TSC Driving Gloves
+ classic sunglasses (Saint Laurent Micas are always a good idea)
+ caffeinated SPF to keep you tight, hydrated and protected with an amazing glow
♡ Other fun things
+ fun floatie if you’re poolside or beaching it
+ chic beach towel
+ The Skinny Confidential’s NEW Mint Roller (hot tip: keep it an ice bucket beside you)
+ tote bag (you can get this one monogrammed)
+ Evian facial spray (your friends will beg you for a little misty mist)
We hope this post gives you some fun ideas for your Memorial Day weekend. And if you’re in need of some outfit inspo, you can shop the entire TSC team’s summer fashion favorites here.
