Summer’s all about relaxation and fun – and having the right tech can make your downtime even better.

These three picks are powering my summer in totally different ways:

• Kindle Paperwhite – My go-to for poolside reading. It’s waterproof, glare-free, and light enough to toss in a carry-on. Whether you’re heading to the beach or your backyard, it lets you stay in your book without the distractions.
• Fire HD 10 Kids Pro – A real tablet made just for kids, with built-in parental controls and a sturdy case that can handle… actual children. It’s great for travel, road trips, or just a quiet moment at home.
• Echo Show 10 – Your kitchen (or anywhere) command center. Think music, recipes, streaming, timers, video calls – all hands-free. It moves with you and adds convenience to your daily routine.

Heat-proof, glowy, and under five minutes? Yes, please. Here’s the routine I’m keeping in rotation:

• Suntouchable Invisi-Stick SPF 50 – Clear, non-greasy, works as a primer, and only $14. It’s the one product I always have in my bag.
  
• Bronzing Drops + Camo Liquid Blush – Layer them for instant glow and color that actually holds up in summer heat.
  
• Camo Liquid Concealer – A brightening, full-coverage concealer that blends easily and stays put – perfect for covering up late nights or long travel days.
  
• No Budge Shadow Sticks + Lash XTNDR Mascara – Longwear staples that don’t quit, even when it’s 95 degrees.
  
• Glow Reviver Lip Balm – Swipe and go. It’s your finishing touch and gives that fresh summer feel.

Old Navy nailed the summer style brief this year. Here’s what I featured:

• Yellow Fit & Flare Mini Dress – Lightweight, flattering, and trending. The color is everywhere this season, and it works just as well dressed up for a dinner out as it does thrown over a swimsuit.
  
• Pull-On Pants + Cropped Tank + Oversized Button-Down – Breezy, mixable layers that work wherever you’re going. It’s the kind of outfit you can rewear on repeat without it ever looking the same.
  
• Straw Bucket Hat – Finish the look and keep the sun out of your eyes. An easy, polished add-on that brings the whole outfit together.

I’ll keep this simple: No outfit is complete without Ray-Bans.

This summer, I’m leaning into two standout styles:

• Wayfarers are always in style – iconic, versatile, and easy to throw on whether you’re poolside or running errands. They’re the sunglasses that go with literally everything.
  
• Then there’s the upgrade: Bio-Based Frames. These are made with 67% bio-based materials (yes, sustainability can look this chic), and they bring a bold, modern shape that instantly elevates whatever you’re wearing. I picked the Opal Brown – they’re soft, a little unexpected, and still timeless enough to wear season after season.
