Must-Haves to Summer Like a Pro

It's summer, it's hot and you're in the mood to dress light, eat light and tote light. So, we found seven must-haves for a day at work, the beach or just chilling out reading the latest best seller. Grab the following basics when you're heading out for a day on the go: Sunscreen Sunny or cloudy, those UV rays have a way of breaking through the clouds to damage your skin. Check out a new ultra-light sunscreen with an SPF of 50 that will keep you covered no matter what the forecast. And don't forget to reapply if you take a dip in the water. Lipstick Pucker up because lipstick is a summer basic, especially one with SPF. Check out a nice hot pink shade that's in style from day to night and instantly brightens your face. For summer festivals or cool events, try an indie orange red to heat up your look for a night on the town. Shades You'll probably be wearing them, but whatever you do, don't forget these summer essentials. Aviators are always in and the look this summer is oversized. From yellow to blue, bright lenses are back. Oval, square or round, sunglasses are a great way to prevent glare and wrinkles while you rock the right look for you. Snacks In the car, at home or at the pool, you'll definitely get the urge for something delicious, crispy and sweet. That's why you must remember to toss in a pack of M&M'S Crispy. M&M'S Crispy, back on the shelves by popular demand, have a sweet rice puff center that's crispy, crunchy and coated in that famous candy shell. These are a satisfying chocolate treat at 180 calories per singles pack. Just make sure you have enough snacks in your tote to share. Hat The last thing you want is the sun beating down on your head; and it's a good thing that a hat is easy to toss into your bag. From a pink, knitted beanie to a funky fedora, these hats look great and keep you in the shade while keeping your hair in mint condition given the sun and surf. Phone Charger It's always good to stay connected so friends and family can find you. Have a phone charger with you to always have a fully-charged phone handy when you need it for your next summer adventure. Beach Read The last thing to tote is a good page-turner. Check out "Beautiful Ruins" by Jess Walters, "A Small Indiscretion" by Jan Ellison, "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn or "The Dinner" by Herman Koch. No matter where you go, you'll be prepared for anything with these summer essentials. Make sure your tote is fully stocked so you can breeze your way through the summer months.

A city is often judged by what residents experience every day: the condition of its streets, the reliability of public services, the availability of recreational programs and the ease of obtaining information from local government. Behind those everyday experiences are departments and employees whose work rarely attracts national attention.
