Pack your swimming costume, grab your little sister…

Today we, Carina and Lisa, sisters and bloggers, born and raised in the beautiful capital of Styria, show you what should never be missing from our bathing bag.

Because one thing is certain: summer is just around the corner, even if the weather of the last few weeks makes us doubt it, we firmly believe in it and are full of anticipation, because now the outdoor pools can finally open again. So that you are perfectly equipped when the temperatures rise and the sun shines, we have made our way to the city centre of Graz and summarised here where you can get everything for a successful day in the swimming pool!

For us, the most important thing for a visit to the outdoor pool is definitely sun protection. You’ll definitely find what you’re looking for in the pharmacies in the centre of Graz. When it comes to sun protection, we attach great importance to quality and have been relying on products from pharmacies for years. A visit to the pharmacy can also be combined with testing. To save time, we recommend booking a test appointment in advance.

In our search for the right sunscreen, we found what we were looking for at Eucerin. Eucerin also offers products that are perfectly tailored to your skin type, so if you tend to have blemished skin, you don’t have to worry about sunscreen on your face because greasy, whitish sunscreen residue is a thing of the past. We love the products because they have a light texture, are quickly absorbed and are great to use under make-up every day.

TIP: We also discovered a great promotion: until the end of the month, you can get €8 off the purchase of 2 Eucerin products at your local pharmacy!

Right after that, we went in search of cool swimwear and paid a visit to “Blue Tomato” in Murgasse. There you’ll find lots of cool bikinis that will make you look like a surfer queen in your local swimming pool.

Animal prints, batik and pastel shades are particularly trendy this season.

You can also find great swimming costumes in larger sizes at Frauenheil in Albrechtgasse.

On your way to the pool, combine your new bikini with a stylish basket bag and a tunic!

What should never be missing from our bag on the way to the pool is enough water and a reading. Water, because especially when it’s hot and you’re in the sun, you should never forget to drink enough, and the right reading material makes a relaxing day really great. We discovered both a stylish water bottle and a great read for the day in the pool at the Moser bookstore! There you will find everything from gossip magazines to novels and literary works.
