Friday Five: My 5 Best New Finds From This Summer

I earn commissions if you shop with some of the links in this post.

I’m a spring and fall gal but I found some great products that helped me to enjoy this summer more! From comfy shoes to no rip hair ties to sand free towels and electrolytes, I found a bunch of products I always use that have been upgraded or elevated. All of these brands are new to me (or just new), too.

My 5 Best New Finds This Summer

Thanks to Waco Choe Company recovery slides and flip flops now come in cute designs! They also make adorable, comfortable slip-on shoes, wedges and sneakers so that you can walk all the miles in comfort. They have a ton of women’s styles (and men’s, too!) These sandals and slip-ons have an orthotic-driven insole, a cushioned footbed and arch support and a design that provides proper foot support and foot alignment I wore these flip flops and slip-ons everywhere this summer.

Buoy hydration drops contain no sugar, artificial sweeteners, calories, added flavors or artificial ingredients. Buoy is gluten and allergen free. It’s packed with clean, traceable ingredients including the primary electrolytes: sodium chloride and potassium. You add a short squeeze to any drink – even coffee and beer. The drops dissolve instantly and evenly in every drink and are flavorless in everything but water. Each 2 oz. bottle has 40 servings so they last a while and they’re easy to take to the office, gym or to travel with. Get Buoy online and on Amazon.

Salis makes time release electrolytes for the humid run days. Salis is naturally sugar-free and formulated to be gentle on the stomach. It replenishes a complete electrolyte panel and is bio-enhanced with chelated zinc to keep your immune system strong before you start feeling run down. The tablets are vegan, gluten free, sugar free and are keto friendly. They are 8 hour time release and you take them 30-60 minutes before you race or exercise in hot/humid conditions. I’m a huge fan. Get Salis online.

Teleties makes “strong grip, no rip” hair ties. TELETIES offers fun and functional hair ties that work with all hair types and styles. They’re designed to give you a strong-grip that doesn’t slip, crease, damage your hair or cause headaches. They’re easy to clean and perfect for sports, the gym or to make a fashion statement. Get TELETIES online or on Amazon (affiliate links). Take the quiz here if you’re unsure of which size to buy.

Tesalate beach towels are lightweight, look great and repels sand! I finally found the perfect beach/travel towel. This Tesalate towel is compact, super absorbent and “sand-free.” It’s thin and folds into a small pouch. Perfect to bring to the beach, to races and for travel! They have smaller anti-microbial gym towels, too. I can’t wait to try those! Find Teselate online.
