Summer BBQs
We found a few tools to up our grill game this summer.
Larder & Vine Rectangle Griddle
Want to try a griddle grill but don’t want to buy a new grill? The griddle pan is designed to sit on top of your outdoor grill enabling you to enjoy the benefits of griddle cooking. It is ceramic, easy to clean and withstands up to 660 degrees! Perfect for Hibachi-style cooking, searing steaks and vegetables or making quesadillas, just think of all the foods you can cook outdoors. Bonus – it can be used indoor too! Larder & Vine Rectangle Griddle
MeatStick Chef Wireless Meat Thermometer
Love to grill but scared to overcook your steak? We found the MeatStick wireless meat thermometer, which helps us guarantee the perfect temperature when cooking steak. The MeatStick is wireless and connects to an app, so you do not need to constantly check the thermometer while cooking. We tested it on the grill and in the oven, but it also works in an air fryer, deep fryer, crock pot and more. Plus it is dishwasher safe. MeatStick Chef Wireless Meat Thermometer – Amazon
Beach Days
Nothing beats the dog days of summer than a beach or pool day – these finds make them more enjoyable!
Women’s Slimz Remix Flip Flops
Everyone needs a comfortable pool flipflop and the Slimz Remix by Feelgoodz do not disappoint. They are made from recycled natural rubber from Thailand so not only are they sustainable but they also mold to your feet. We love the color variation in the Remix line, but solid colors are available too. Women’s Slimz Remix Flip Flops – Use SHESGOTISSUES for 20% off sitewide
We’ve recently become a fan of Turkish Towels – these ultra-soft, quick-drying absorbent towels can double as a lightweight blanket or wrap, making them a summer must-have. Turkish Towels are thinner and more lightweight than traditional beach towels and fold or roll up compactly, allowing you to save space without sacrificing absorbency. Bonus – the towels from Feelgoodz match the Remix Flip Flops (available in several colors)! Turkish Towel – Use SHESGOTISSUES for 20% off sitewide
Drytek High Performance Towels by Delilah Home
Not only are these extra-large beach towels made entirely from recycled plastic bottles, but they are highly absorbent, quick-drying and sand-resistant. And we love their “Take Back” program – after a year, if you are ready for an upgrade (or to try a newly released color or design), you can send your towel back for a discount toward a new purchase.
