There are candles that were created to specifically smell like the beach and other summer-inspired smells, such as summer fruits and flowers. Plus, candles can be used for calming purposes.

If you’re outside soaking up the sun and want to feel more like you’re having a tropical experience, apply some Banana Boat spray oil. Not only can its scents be found in the tropics, it will help you to get that sun-kissed tan. It’s important to stay cautious when outside in the sun. This oil comes in SPF 8 and 15, so consider your skin before using this, or use additional sunblock along with it.
5. Pink Flamingos

Pink plastic flamingos aren’t as exotic as the real deal, but using them as backyard decor is a fun way to pretend you’re somewhere other than home. They will also add some spice to your next summer gathering!
6. Tropical Pool Floats

Choose a pink flamingo to go with your backyard decor, an island-inspired float, a dolphin, or any other float that reminds you of something tropical. You can find them at your local pool supply store. These products are all fabulous when they’re solo, but they’re even better when they’re paired up with other products on the list. Whether you decide to look into every product or just a few of your favorites, you’ll be on your way to feeling like you’re somewhere tropical. After all, each of these products were created with either the summer or warm weather in mind. Get ready to relax — the destination is your choice. It may take a little imagination, but at least you have these products as a start. Featured photo credit: http://www.freeimages.com/ via freeimages.com
