Prime Day is 1 Week Away, but I'm Already Filling My Cart With These Summer Vacation Essentials, Starting at 75% Off
Luckily, I just found my entire wishlist at Amazon. While Prime Day may be a week away, you can already score massive savings—and I've filled my cart with summer vacation essentials up to 75 percent off. Now, I'm sharing the best deals in my cart, starting at $5.
I've been eyeing these Anrabess Palazzo Pants for months. The wide-leg silhouette ensures a breezy fit that's perfect for hot summer days, and I love that the smocked waistband creates a cinching effect. They're slightly cropped, making them perfect for petite shoppers. While I'm not petite, I love that the shorter length ensures they won't drag in the sand during walks along the beach.
This summer, I'm swapping my canvas tote bag for a straw bag—and I have my eye on this now-$19 option. According to one reviewer, it's big enough to hold all your beach essentials, from a large towel to a cosmetics case. I also love that it has a zippered pocket to keep your wallet and phone secure and sand-free.
I've been holding off on buying wireless earbuds for years, but I'm finally pulling the trigger on the Apple AirPods Pro 2. I'll use them on train rides, beach days, and workouts. They feature high-quality audio, noise-canceling technology, and even a transparency mode, which I'll use to stay aware while walking through crowded destinations.
The B2prity One-piece Tummy Control Swimsuit has a classic yet unique design, with flattering ruching along the bust and waist. I love that I can pair this swimsuit with a pair of wide-leg pants to grab a pre-beach breakfast, and it comes in 32 stylish colors that are all marked down today.
The Anrabess Crochet Swim Coverup has a high-quality, handmade look, and I can't believe it's available at Amazon for just $34. It's selling quickly, with over 2,000 shoppers purchasing it last month, and it's easy to see why. Reviewers are raving about its durable material and flattering style.
I'm the type to be walking around an unfamiliar city with a low phone battery, but I'm turning over a new leaf with the Charmast Portable Charger. I love that it comes with built-in cables to charge multiple devices at once. Needless to say, I'm sure everyone will be borrowing this genius device on my upcoming girls' trip.
Havaianas are trending again, and I'm snagging a pair on Amazon while they're marked down. The classic Slim Season Flip Flops come in so many colors, from this classic black option to a vibrant floral pattern. Best of all, plenty of reviewers rave about their comfort, with one shopper even calling them the 'most comfortable flip flops ever made.'
At the advice of a dermatologist, I'm swapping out all my chemical sunscreens for mineral versions, and this Blue Lizard sunscreen is already in my cart. I love that it's a spray, rather than a lotion, so it will be so much easier to apply (and reapply). Plus, it's water-resistant and reef-safe.
You can snag this portable handheld fan for a whopping 75 percent off today. It has two fan speeds and has 15 hours of battery life. I'm planning on keeping it in my bag all summer long to use on stuffy subway cars and sunny beaches.
I'm fortunate to say that I've never lost my luggage, but I'm taking extra precautions to ensure it never happens. Many travelers swear by Apple AirTags to keep track of their checked bags, so I'm buying one while they're marked down. You can use an AirTag holder to attach them to your bags, keys, or wallet. In fact, I think I'll snag a four-pack of AirTags and keep track of all my valuables.
If there's one item you don't want to be without on summer vacation, it's a beach towel. If you aren't staying at a resort or rental house that can provide one, it's best to bring along a travel-friendly option that won't take up too much luggage space. This one is quick-drying, sand-repellent, and comes with a travel bag for easy packing.
Beach trips aren't just about catching a tan; it's also important to curate a good vibe. For just $22, this Soundcore speaker offers 'surprisingly good' sound and a 20-hour battery life, so you can have a personal soundtrack for every vacation moment. We tested it and loved that it's a perfect companion for carry-on-only travelers. Now all that's left to do is create the perfect summer playlist.
There's nothing better than a breezy linen dress on a hot summer day. That's why this scoop-neck option is in my cart ahead of Prime Day. Currently marked down to just $64, it's a timeless option that I'll style for day and night for years to come.
Stylish sunglasses are essential for any trip, and I love these best-selling aviators that are now just $15. They provide 100 percent UVA and UVB protection, so they're equally functional and fashionable. Plus, they come in 21 different colors, and they're all marked down today.
I usually travel without a neck pillow, which means I always start my vacations with a neck cramp. Before taking any more long-haul flights, I'm snagging this reviewer-loved Napfun Neck Pillow. According to one shopper, it provided them 'unmatched comfort' on a 10-hour flight to Europe thanks to the soft memory foam pillow and cooling cover.

The Frozen Sweet Treat That's Been A Palm Springs Area Staple Since Prohibition
If you've ever driven through the Coachella Valley, you probably recall the vast fields of date palms that rise up like oases in the flat desert expanse, with rocky mountains looming alongside the stretches of freeway. It's a stunning vista, the harsh desert landscape contrasting with blooming wildflowers in the spring, enormous white wind turbines spinning, and snow-capped mountain peaks visible in the far distance. According to High Country News, about 90% of American dates are grown in the Coachella Valley, with date varieties like Medjool and Deglet Noor being amongst the most popular. With such an abundance of this sweet, sticky desert fruit, it's no wonder that business owners sought more ways to sell them than in just their natural state. Date shakes have long been a staple on any road trip out to the desert in Southern California, a very local "if you know, you know" tradition. While Palm Springs now has no shortage of martinis, poolside drinks, and tiki bars, there was a period of time when alcohol was illegal everywhere in the United States. Vanilla milkshakes were originally meant to be alcoholic drinks, but from 1920 to the early 1930s, thirsty Americans had to find a new vice to quench their desire for a specialty drink during Prohibition. Non-alcoholic milkshakes became popular, and in 1930, the owner of the long-shuttered Valerie Jean Date Shop combined minced dates with the newly popular milkshake, and a wildly popular new desert delicacy was born. Read more: 13 Popular Vanilla Ice Cream Brands Ranked By Ingredient Quality Arguably the most popular spot for date shakes is Shields Date Garden, located in the Coachella Valley about a half hour's drive southeast of Palm Springs in Indio. Shields opened in 1924 and sells not only dates and date shakes, but date-based products, local honey, and locally-grown citrus. It's almost impossible to miss, as the entrance boasts an enormous sign in the shape of a helmeted knight pointing the way to the property that was added as a roadside sign in 1953. Another big name in date shakes is Hadley Fruit Orchards. Hadley's, as locals call it, opened in 1931 and is one of the first places you can get a date shake when driving to the desert from the west. What once was a humble, one-story roadside stand painted forest green has now become a much larger, modern store with aisles of fruits, nuts, and confections, as well as typical tourist souvenirs. There is a separate corner of the large store that churns out thousands of the the popular date shakes per day, where you can add mix-ins to your liking. My personal favorite is the banana date shake, but they even have a vegan shake available. While Shields and Hadley's are two big names in date shakes, there are a plethora of smaller shops selling the caramely, toffee-like flavored milkshakes all over Palms Springs and the Coachella Valley. If you can't make the trek out to the Southern California desert, you can order fresh dates online and use them to make your own date shakes at home, or even use them as the secret ingredient for nutritiously sweetened smoothies.

The weather is nice and there's a lot of people here, so I like it," Boorsma said. For many families, celebrating down the Shore is a tradition, and Mother Nature served up a holiday treat.

Browns Quarterback Deshaun Watson Makes Personal Announcement
Browns Quarterback Deshaun Watson Makes Personal Announcement originally appeared on The Spun. With the NFL season still two months away, Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson had an update to share regarding his personal life. Advertisement The Browns acquired Watson in March 2022 and immediately signed him to a five-year, $230 million contract. He hasn't lived up to that deal, that's for sure. In 19 career appearances for the Browns, he has completed 61.2 percent of his passes for 3,365 yards with 19 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Another issue for Watson is that he hasn't been healthy. He suffered a torn Achilles tendon in Week 7 of the 2024 season. The veteran quarterback tore his Achilles yet again during his recovery process. The Browns don't expect to have Watson at any point during the 2025 season. They're expected to start either Joe Flacco or Kenny Pickett. Of course, there's an outside change Dillon Gabriel or Shedeur Sanders perform well in training camp. While those four quarterbacks get ready for a training camp battle, Watson is enjoying life with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Jilly Anais.

Anais, a 2025 Swim Search finalist, represented the iconic magazine on the runway during Miami Swim Week. She currently has 2.4 million followers on Instagram. As for Watson's career as an NFL quarterback, we're not sure what the future has in store for him. All we know is that he's not ready to retire. "Everyone is doubting me." Watson said. "Everyone don't believe in me, Everyone don't think I can get back to where I was. But I know, and I believe the work that I put in, that I believe in myself. The peace that I've been channelling the last couple of months. I know, I'm gonna be way better than before."
