Whatever Floats Your Boat

If you love lounging in the water, get ready to take your relaxation style to a whole new level and make the day spent with friends totally “Instaworth­y.”

Join the likes of A-list celebritie­s with the hottest trend in summer fun -- larger-than-life floats. The newest novelty floats introduced by Intex for this summer season include photoreali­stic, high definition printing that looks just like the real thing, only way bigger. They have Potato Chip bag and French Fry container floats that will make you hungry, along with a Pizza Slice Mat, that allows everyone to float alone or join together and form one giant pizza float. Other new designs that will help you stand out from the crowd include the Mega Unicorn and Peacock Island Floats which can measure more than 9 feet. Durable, fun, trendy and easyto-inflate, these are not your typical pool floats. They all are currently available at a store near you or at your favorite online retailer. Protect Your Tech Don’t leave your phone at home or at the bottom of your bag, protect it from the hot sun, sand and water with the right case. The best options will go beyond simple water-resistance to be fully waterproof, keeping phones protected even after full submersion, because you never know when you’re going swimming. With options that range from pouches to full-body cases, there are models to fit every need, and these days, your case can be customized to match your style using the design of your choosing.

Wherever your summer fun takes you, don’t leave home without all the season’s essentials for good times, great posts and lasting memories.
