But after one too many sunburns, I’ve learned that seeking shade is a must and adding a beach tent to my list of essentials is paramount. With so many options to consider, it can feel overwhelming to choose the best one. Thankfully, I noticed the tent that won our award for “Best Budget” is quietly on sale for $32 at Amazon.

While I tend to have a few favorites in my closet, having ready access to a variety of styles, patterns, and materials inspires me to try harder this time of year.

However, it’s important to know exactly what you’re using and how to use it, as paint thinner can cause major damage to certain materials and surfaces.

You can bring that same laid-back luxury to your home with the "resortcore aesthetic". Characterized by natural textures, breezy color palettes, tropical accents, and an air of elevated simplicity, resortcore offers more than just style—it creates an atmosphere of relaxation and escape.
