We’re all well aware that 2020 has been a rough year (and it’s only July!). From being stuck inside for months to worrying about murder hornets, we could all use a little extra relaxation.
That’s why we’ve put together 11 items and activities to help you refresh, nurture, and love your body and mind a little extra this summer.
1. Move your body.
Exercise is one of the best ways to relieve stress, reduce anxiety and just feel good. Inspire yourself to get active by treating yourself to some cute, new activewear. We love these affordable and stylish leggings from Belcorva–they feature four pockets and are less than $50, so they’re perfect for running marathons or errands and everything in between.
2. Show your skin some love.
Show your skin some TLC this summer with Guam’s Dual Action Anti-Cellulite and Slimming Treatment Pack. These skin-tightening treatments are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and packed with natural active ingredients like guam algae and black tourmaline to help you firm and tone so you can feel confident in your skin all summer long.
3. Get some sun.
Studies have shown that Vitamin D is one of the best ways to boost your immune system, and soaking up those sunny rays is one of the best ways to get your daily dose. So throw on your bikini, grab a towel and head outside to create your own beach day at home. Just don’t forget your sunscreen!
We’re loving this vegan, non-toxic, reef-safe sunscreen from bioClarity to help protect your skin from every day UV rays, free radicals, blue light and pollution with 100% non-nano, mineral-zinc sunscreen. Its amazing smell will transport you right to the ocean.
Use code SHEFINDS20 and get 20% off your first purchase of bioClarity’s vegan, non-toxic, plant-powered skincare products.
4. Give your eyes a break.
We’ve all been spending a little too much time in front of a screen these days. From a few extra hours on Netflix to a lot of late-night scrolling on social media, our eyes could use a break.
If you’ve been struggling with tired, dry eyes, you’re definitely not alone. Symptoms of Digital Eye Strain (also known as Computer Vision Syndrome or Digital Eye Fatigue) can result from just 2+ hours in front of a digital screen. That’s why CooperVision designed Biofinity Energys® contact lenses to help you easily shift focus between digital devices and offline activities.
5. De-stress naturally.
These days, everyone seems a little more stressed than usual. A great way to naturally de-stress is with CBD, especially these tasty microdose CBD Edibles from GreenRoads.
Pack a picnic with your bae and bring these stress-relieving gummies along, or keep them at your desk for a sweet snack whenever things start to feel overwhelming. CBD has been proven to help combat anxiety and stress, reduce inflammation, and aid in better sleep. Sign us up for all those benefits!
6. Treat yourself (or your partner) to an at-home date night.
Between socially distanced date nights and not much else to do, your love life might be feeling a little blah lately.
Spice things up by carving out some quality time for yourself or your partner: cook your favorite meal, treat yourself to your favorite bottle of wine, and complete the night with a box from The Pleasure Pantry. This one-time (or monthly) subscription box is filled with romantic toys, novelties and lingerie designed to keep your romantic life exciting, new and fun.
Use coupon code SHEFINDS for 20% off a monthly subscription or one-time box! (coupon code is not valid on prepaid subscriptions).
7. Get ready for backyard bikini season.
Just because your summer vacation was cancelled doesn’t mean summer is! Grab your suit and be ready for your debut with help from Cellu-Erase! Be your best this summer.
This unique combination of Verisol®, Bioactive Collagen Peptides®, and SOD B Dimpless® superoxide dismutase. Cellu-Erase is specifically designed to support smooth, healthy skin with reduced cellulite, so you can feel comfortable in your skin whether you’re in the backyard or at the beach!
8. Get ready for the beach with an at-home hair removal session.
Get ready for the swimsuit season with a permanent hair removal session.
Why spend a fortune at a beauty salon when you can do it yourself at home? Hairfree works like laser hair removal–in a tube! It’s the safe and permanent new way to get rid of unwanted hair. For your bikini line, use Hairfree Intimate Hair Remover. For facial hair removal, use Hairfree Facial Hair Remover. For body hair, there’s Hairfree Hair Remover.
This revolutionary product stops unwanted hair growth by killing hair at its roots, just like salon-quality laser hair removal. It’s safe, painless, and comes with no nasty smells–plus, 93% of new users reported permanent results after 30 days.

9. Stay healthy and germ-free.
Staying healthy this summer is on everyone’s mind. One of the best ways to stay healthy is with a great hand sanitizer, like this FDA-approved, unscented version from Demeter Fragrance Library. It’s made with 80 percent ethyl alcohol, which means it’s super effective at killing germs, and the multiple sizes available are all easily portable so you can stay germ-free wherever you go this summer!
10. Feel empowered and confident.
We all deserve to feel sexy, confident and empowered, whether we’re at home in our pajamas or hitting the town for our first girls’ night in months. That’s why the ladies at Joylux created vFit, the first home-use vaginal rejuvenation device using red-light to help you feel beautiful and strong in everything you do.
Pair with HER Intimate Care, the first 100% clean, OBGYN-formulated products to cleanse, hydrate and refresh your most delicate tissue.
11. Enjoy your summer pregnancy.
Being pregnant during these hot, humid summer months can be a challenge, as morning sickness can increase with the heat. There are a few things you can do to make sure you can still enjoy some of that summer sunshine, though: stay hydrated, stay in the shade if you go outdoors, and keep a pack of Preggie Pops with you at all times!
These natural lollipops and lozenges were created by healthcare professionals to help ease the nausea associated with morning sickness. Formulated with Vitamin B6 and essential oils, they’re a great, drug-free way to help you enjoy the summer with a baby on the way.
