SUMMER IS HERE!!
My social media feed is full of poolside selfies, BBQs, beach days, and all kinds of summer adventures. I’m loving the nicer weather, but the rising temperatures often trigger my POTS and leave me feeling completely drained before the day even starts.
Whether you’re a fellow spoonie navigating chronic illness in the heat, a parent trying to keep the kids entertained, or just someone looking to make the most out of summer, this guide is for you.
☀️Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and safe summer! ☀️

Dill Pickle Sweet Chaos Popcorn:
Sweet Chaos is one of my favorite popcorn brands. I love their drizzled popcorn, and they have a wonderful flavor for the dill pickle lover! Their dill pickle flavored popcorn is made with real dill & vinegar and is made with non-GMO kernels that are popped in coconut oil. If Dad loves dill pickles, he will LOVE this flavor. If Dad prefers sweet, their Black and White Drizzle is my personal favorite.
Check for Sweet Chaos at Walmart, Runnings, or use their store locator.
Wiley Wallaby Licorice:
Wiley Wallaby offers a variety of licorice and drops. Their products make a lovely gift for the Dad who has a sweet tooth, as their product line features several products.
If Dad isn’t a fan of licorice, Wiley Wallaby Sourrageous Drops feature a chewy red center with a sour, crunchy exterior and come in three flavors: Watermelon, Green Apple, and Lemon.

Visto Visors:
I have been looking for a solution for being in the sun this summer. Visto Visors are the perfect solution! They feature a transparent plastic brims and while they are designed for sports such as golf, pickleball and more, I find them PERFECT for when I am outdoors to keep an eye on my kids. The transparent brim provides UV sun protection and 360-degree views which means your view isnt obstructed.
I like that Visto Visors offers a variety of hat and visor styles, I am very fond of the wide brim style.
Price: $34-$38
