    I can’t remember what was going on in 02 when Hot In Herre was released, but this track has made a major comeback in my shuffle. My morning runs are loving the kickass vibe which signifies a spontaneous dance party!

    So the reason I start off with this Nelly track is because he’s singing my tune -It’s bloody hot in here! Summer is on, and thank goodness for these essentials that keep me calm, cool and collected throughout the blazing days.

    7 Summer Essentials For Keeping Cool In Every Possible Way

    Go-To Hat

    My favorite hat was found on clearance in SoHo. It’s a hip hop thing that makes me feel kind of OG while also providing major protection from the sun. I prefer baseball caps – like this– as my go-tos because they stay on my head for my runs. Just remember, it’s all about the flat brim.

    Fun Sunglasses

    A no-brainer, indeed- everyone needs a solid pair of shades, particularly in summer when the rays are heavy duty. I consider sunglasses to be an investment purchase because I wear them all the time, and usually can hold onto them for years. This pair is awesome!

    Not So Low Slip-Ons

    Flip flops don’t work for me anymore. I can’t do the dirty feet thing that happens after wearing them allover the city. So this year I’m going with the not so low slip ons instead. I love the peep toe on these, but I really love how they protect my feet from all the NYC grime.

    Effective Sunscreen

    If you’ve been following along, you’ll remember I posted on sunscreens last week. This is the one I’ve been using for a couple years now. It goes on a little wet, but dries off fast enough. I’ll even leave the house with just this sunscreen on because of the little tinting it has happening.

    Great Book

    My friend recommended this based on the sheer vulnerability the author writes with. What she didn’t mention is that he’s hilarious — his words make me laugh out loud. The topic isn’t something I would have sought out, but it is nice to move away from the self help section sometimes. This book is a fun detour.

    Tasty Beverage

    Omg, have you had these? I never even knew they existed until a couple weeks ago when I was in LA. So refreshing! The kids love mango, but I’m more of a purist and prefer lemon. Regardless, a must have this summer!
