The Top 5 Products You Should Be Spending More Money on This Spring

These 5 items may be a little bit more expensive, but they’re most definitely worth it

Now that Spring has finally arrived, you’re probably hearing “Spring sale” everywhere you go. And while saving money is always ideal, there are actually a few products you should be spending more money on this season.

Read on for the top five products you should consider shelling out some dough for this Spring.

Comfortable Sandals

Let’s be real, as soon as we can go outside without a coat, most of us want to start rocking a stylish pair of flops, too. But it’s because of how much you’ll be wearing these sandals that you should be sure to invest in a quality pair. Yes, you want to look amazing, but you also want to be able to take long walks in them without your feet hating you. Instead of buying three to four different pairs of sandals that look fun but barely let you stand for a few minutes, make it a point to invest your money on a pair that checks all your boxes.

Flonase

Sure, it may be cheaper to buy certain over-the-counter allergy pills or even try a home remedy to ease your allergies, but when it comes to relentless symptoms that impact your daily life, don’t you want something that’s been proven to work? Plus, most allergy pills don't finish the job because they don't relieve nasal congestion. Flonase relieves¹ your worst allergy symptoms, including nasal congestion, sneezing, itchy, watery eyes, and runny nose. And because Flonase contains the No. 1 prescribed allergy medicine², you can actually trust that it’s going to help, instead of crossing your fingers and hoping you won’t go through an entire box of tissues during the day.

A Reusable Water Bottle

Say “no thanks” to plastic and spend some hard-earned cash on a chic water bottle. There are a lot of brands out there that not only look great, but can also keep your liquids cold for hours — which is a plus for those Spring days that end up being warmer than you’d anticipated. There are even water bottles available that have a special compartment for fresh fruit to help make staying hydrated just a little more delicious.

Sunscreen

With so many different SPF formulas out there, it can often feel overwhelming staring down the rows of tubes at the drugstore. This Spring, do your research and spend your money on a brand that uses as many natural ingredients as possible, but still has the proper active ingredients to keep your skin safe from sun exposure.

Shorts That Fit Just Right

Every person deserves a pair of shorts that truly fit — and that they’ll want to wear as soon as the temperature rises. But sometimes, finding that pair takes research, and you have to choose a more expensive pair to get a cut and length that flatters your body type. Here’s the thing: it’s worth it! The better you feel in a pair of shorts, the more likely you are to wear them. Three pairs of cheap shorts that stay stuffed in your dresser all season are way less cost effective than one pair you can’t wait to put on.
