If your idea of outdoor fun is attending a tailgate, pool party, or concert, I feel you on that. When people comment about the nice weather and how they're so excited to hike the trails, I cannot relate, often describing myself as an "indoor girl" in an attempt to divert the conversation. My preferred leisure activities are watching a reality TV show or doing an at-home skincare treatment. However, I cannot live my entire life indoors with my beloved central air conditioning.

When I do spend time outside, I try to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Whether you totally relate to me or if you think my preferences are outrageous, I do have some product picks that will make outdoor activities much more enjoyable.

Bluetooth Speakers

The easiest, quickest way to set a vibe is with music. This is my absolute favorite speaker. It is small, but has a loud, clear sound. It's waterproof, I keep it in my shower. I bring it on every trip and any time I must spend time outdoors.

This speaker comes in 12 colors and it has 59,200+ 5-star Amazon reviews.

Cooling Gadgets

If you can't be in central air conditioning, the next best thing is having your own personal fan. This one comes in six colors and it has 32,600+ 5-star Amazon reviews.

If you want to cool down and go hands-free, this neck fan is a total gamechanger. There are five colors to choose from and this fan has 23,600+ 5-star Amazon reviews.

Keep cool when you lounge outside with this portable mist stand. Instead of getting up for a dip in the pool, this gives you that refreshing mist that you need in the heat.

Sunscreen

Sunburn is the worst. Even if you get a short-lived tan, it is so not worth it for many reasons. Having a great sunscreen is imperative to enjoying the outdoors. I love this one because it's a mineral sunscreen that's gentle on my skin, absorbs quickly, doesn't cause breakouts, and it shields me from the sun, of course.

This has also been recommended by Summer House star Paige DeSorbo.
