How Three Friends Built a Multimillion-Dollar Brand by Making Sunscreen Fun Again
Vacation, a pandemic-born personal-care startup, has pursued a simple strategy to make some room in its core category: putting the fun back in sunscreen. The brand design looks like the love child of Club Med and Margaritaville. Discount pop-ups on its website evoke magazine coupons from 1986, down to the dotted lines for scissors. Its SPF 30 mousse comes in a whipped-cream canister. And the handle on its new 20-ounce 'jug' detaches to be worn as a bracelet.

36 Products That Are Anything But Boring
A limited edition (!!) Eos Marshmallow "Super Balm" lip treatment from the brand's "secret menu" so good that reviewers say it's better than Carmex for healing and better than Summer Fridays for quality. Lip care that also tastes like you're perpetually eating a s'more for less than $5?? My friends, life is good. A mini Bob Ross paint-by-numbers kit for anyone on their "happy accidents" beat — this itty bitty set comes with everything you need to create three tiny masterpieces of your very own. Vacation's Classic Whip SPF 30, a wildly beloved "dessert for your skin" that feels so lightweight and decadent to apply that reviewers can't get enough of it. (No, REALLY. This is selling out all over 😭.) Not only does it feel ridiculously indulgent, but it's water-resistant and sensitive skin-friendly, so you'll be the sweetest AND safest treat. A set of cheerful Lego botanical "happy plants," aka your new favorite coworkers. How can capitalism bring you down when these two are smiling up at you all day long? All the joys of having an office plant without the shame of your coworkers being like, "Shouldn't you ... maybe ... water that??" A set of pastel glitter highlighters I saw on Instagram the other day and NEARLY BLACKED OUT from the cuteness. If you like highlighting your planner pages, favorite passages from books, or lines from your journal, please do yourself a favor and purchase these subtle but oh-so-sparkly colors to jazz them up ✨. Patchology's "Rosé Toes" moisturizing foot mask to give your dry, cracked heels some shea butter, strawberry oil-infused relief in ten minutes flat — not unlike the glass of rosé that hits at Friday happy hour. Reviewers are genuinely impressed by how much of a difference these make in so little time! A lil' polar bear hydrating eye stick for some sweet, sweet relief when you wake up with puffy, aching eyes. This formula is blended with Iceland glacial water to help tighten skin and tackle dark circles so you look and feel more ~refreshed~. Wikki Stix, the ultimate in mess-free, silent, distracting fidgets — you can take these little wax sticks and push them into any shape you please, and stick them on surfaces without worrying about residue or marks. Parents especially love these for when kids are waiting at restaurants or on flights! A light up solar frog figurine for your garden or porch so when you come home from that "just one drink" dinner past midnight, this croaky lil' fella can lovingly judge you for it. McCormick's Potato Topping Seasoning for anyone who's not afraid to get a little feral about their air-fried, mashed, and baked potatoes — this blend of salt, garlic, and asiago cheese is so mouthwateringly delicious that you'll be dumping it on everything from popcorn to grilled cheese to guacamole. A reusable silicone cactus dryer ball that pet owners especially love because it catches hair like nobody's business. These lil' desert bubs also help soften fabric, reduce wrinkles, *and* save drying time, so they're putting all the decorative but useless succulents in your home to shame. Yankee Candle's Midsummer's Night, or what I like to call a "goth summer candle," as a perfectly moody way to usher in the warmer weather if you're not a big fan of sweetness and floral. Reviewers compare this alluring blend of musk, patchouli, sage, and mahogany to a soft cologne. A NeeDoh "Dream Drop," another release from the *elite* Needoh sensory fidget toy line for anyone who wants to add more calm and focus to their day. This goo-filled, delightfully colorful fidget has a satisfying squish with a "slow rise" before going back to its original shape. Reviewers also love that it doesn't have the kind of stickiness that picks up debris and makes it hard to clean. A "Penny the Penguin" silicone measuring cup designed with an easy grip, an even easier spout pour, and a design so adorable that you'll bake yourself out of house and home just for an excuse to use her. Case-Mate's iconic waterproof beach totes, which are, of course, ridiculously roomy and useful, but more importantly, RIDICULOUSLY cute. This is it "It" accessory of the beach if there ever were one. Get ready to be swimming in the ocean AND in compliments from strangers. Bonus — it even comes with a separate dry bag for your phone! An adorable little puppy night-light with a soft white glow that makes it the perfect critter for gently illuminating bedrooms and bathrooms at night. It even has eight different color modes so you can finally live your childhood dream of having a purple dog! Death Wish Instant Coffee Packets so downright (dare I say, DANGEROUSLY) delicious that even the biggest coffee snobs you know might trade in their precious pour-overs. That is, if they can handle the 300 mg of caffeine per cup. 👀 A Godzilla microwave cleaner you can fill with water and vinegar and stick in the microwave. After five minutes, the gunk will be so loose that you can DESTROYYYYYY it all the way this big dude came after Manhattan. A set of hair-tie bracelets designed to look like *actual* jewelry, so you won't be kicking yourself when you realize you left a hair tie on your wrist for every photo. A set of cowboy straw toppers to add some much-needed "yeehaw!" into your hydration regimen, and keep your straws safe from germs out here in the wild, bacterial West. A set of slanted stemmed wineglasses in muted colors for anyone who loves to make their guests go "Ooooh" when they host a lil' happy hour. A set of cat-shaped dual-sided sponges that dared to ask, "What if we turned Scrub Daddy sponges into cats and also made them way more affordable?" These are the purrrrfect solution for your kitchen aesthetic *and* budget. A guided visual sloth "breathing partner" you can use for meditation and calm to shift your mindset. This is designed to guide you through either the popular 4/7/8 or 5/5 "calming breaths" to help reduce stress and anxiety, using colors that fade in and out softly as cues. Bonus: it's kid friendly! A "Gracula" garlic crusher, because you know what? If a 108-year-old vampire lurking moodily in the trees in the Pacific Northwest isn't going to fall in love with you and grant you immortality, one might as well make your life in the kitchen a little easier. A pair of "three dimensional" frog earrings so adorable that regular earrings can pack it in — it's all about this cute lil' frog booty now. A Frenchie-themed cheese board to serve some top notch char-woof-erie at your next party. A stress-relieving mini bookshelf full of itty bitty little books you can pull out individually and reorganize to your precise liking. The world may be vast and out of control, but everything is juuuust so in your happy little library. A set of itty bitty ceramic rice ball vases that all onigiri lovers deserve to have on their desk as a delicious aesthetic. LOOK AT THESE HAPPY BUBS. A set of dainty but surprisingly strong bow-shaped hair clips to pair with all your frilliest dresses or to add a soft touch your more structured work outfits. A set of obscenely adorable flower vase fridge magnets that look so hyper realistic that it's only a matter of time before a family of fairies moves into your kitchen, confusing it with their own. This arrives with the vases separate from the flowers, so you can mix and match the colors yourself! A cheeky pair of double-buckle slides that look like what happens when a Birkenstock from the 2000s falls in love with a jelly sandal from the '90s in a forbidden time-crossed romance. A fire escape wall shelf so you can add a nostalgic city aesthetic to your room, plus make your knick-knacks reenact scenes from Spider-Man movies. Bonus — this is a great alternative to the $200 (!!) version at Urban Outfitters. A "float-tea unicorn" to make steeping your tea downright magical every morning, no matter *how* much caffeine you need to get yourself across today's rainbow. A sword-shaped grater for anyone out there who isn't just a cheese lover, but a cheese gladiator. Fight valiantly, my dairy-tolerant friends. A spinning pill dispenser to make taking your meds feel like a game show or a trip to the carnival — sometimes you have to ~romanticize your life~ to remember the essentials in your daily routine!! You can even attach this to a wall or the fridge if you're feeling it. Built's "Puff Protein Bars" that are basically chocolate-covered marshmallows that also, by some witchcraft, have 17 entire grams of protein in them?? And NO weird aftertaste. If you are also someone who is in a perpetual state of "I need protein or I will bite someone's brain off," I am telling you, nothing in this WORLD will feel better than pulling one of these out of your bag.

Beyond the obvious (America's birthday!), if there's anything else to celebrate this Fourth of July, it's the slew of can't-miss sales. Just hear me out: The discounts on fashion, home and beauty are off the charts ahead of the festivities. And as usual, Amazon is leading the pack with some of the biggest offers in every category. So, if shopping and saving at the Amazon Fourth of July sale isn't already on your list of things to do while you're OOO, best put it on there now. In fact, you should start scrolling the sale ASAP, because the markdowns on tons of your favorite products (like Vacation's beloved sunscreen and these comfy slide sandals you'll want to wear all summer long) are currently in full swing. And with Amazon Prime Day 2025 just around the corner, this is your last chance to score a ton of early deals ahead of the crowd. Thankfully, I perused the sale to ensure you have a shot at scoring the biggest savings sooner rather than later. Here are 13 fireworks-worthy July Fourth deals to scoop up before prices go back up. Want to know which buzzy products are *really* worth buying? Sign up for our shopping newsletter to uncover our favorite finds. Amazon I live in dresses during the summertime. If you do, too, I probably don't have to convince you to snag this breezy tiered maxi that's sure to be comfy thanks to its flowy fit and lightweight rayon fabric. It's also marked down in a bunch of solid colors and patterns, so you might want to pick it up in multiples—especially once you hear what this reviewer has to say about the style: "So pleasantly surprised how much I love this dress! After receiving I immediately went to see what other colors/prints I'm going to summer dress to wear casual with flip-flops or dress it up with heels." I'm certainly sold. $43; $36 at Amazon Amazon These genuine suede-lined slides feature a memory foam footbed and adjustable buckle straps. But are they as comfortable as they look? I peeked through their massive review section (with more than 68,000 reviews) for answers. Here's one buyer's honest opinion: "These are perfect, and didn't break the bank! Comfy while also supportive of your feet. I have high arches and small wide feet, and they are a perfect fit!" Since they also come in a range of colors and upper finishes, you might want to grab two pairs while the price is this good. $50; $35 at Amazon Amazon This summer has been hot so far, so if I were you, I'd definitely take advantage of the deal on this portable neck fan that will keep you cool wherever you go—from the pool to Disney World. It has a long battery life lasting between four and 16 hours, per the brand, so you don't have to worry about recharging it while you're out. Plus, it adjusts between three different speeds to offer the perfect breeze for your needs $37; $28 at Amazon Amazon If you're stuffing your suitcase for an upcoming trip, these lightweight packing cubes are an excellent solution. You get five of them in a pack, and each has interior pockets and an extra zipper on the outside that can be zipped up to help squash clothes down (and fit more in your bag). You also get a drawstring pouch, which will come in handy for storing dirty clothes or shoes on your travels. It's no wonder everyone wants to get their hands on this set before their next vacay (including me). from $43; $30 at Amazon Amazon Save your skin from sunburn this summer with this TikTok-famous Vacation sunscreen that shoppers adore. What makes it so good? Well, just take a look at what one reviewer had to say: "Love this smell is lovely and it feels light and cool on the skin. No white have been using this sunscreen all spring and summer." Not to mention, you get *three* water-resistant, SPF 50 bottles in this pack, so it should keep you covered all through the season. $57; $46 at Amazon Amazon Listen, I love a good pair of designer sunglasses as much as the next girl, but they're not always the most practical pick when you're relaxing by the pool or on vacation and don't want to risk losing them. These ones from Sojos have all the style that I love (plus polarized, UV-protective lenses), but at less than $20, they'll have me way less stressed about carrying them around. I'm definitely stocking up (and you should, too). $20; $16 at Amazon Amazon PureWow Beauty and Cultures Editor Chelsea Candelario put a similar version of these best-selling under-eye masks to the test to see if they're really worth it. Spoiler: They totally are. "I feel more energized (like the name suggests) and the area looks brighter than ever. I appreciate how they reduce my dark circles and maintain moisture. I also love how Grace & Stella offers a variety of pack options to choose from, and honestly, the price is pretty reasonable," she shared in her review. And now that price is even better, so I'd say they're definitely worth snagging. $28; $24 at Amazon Amazon We can all agree that vacuuming is one of the most tedious household chores, right? Well, guess what? This cordless vacuum can make the task *a lot* more bearable—or even, dare I say, enjoyable. Besides sucking up stubborn pet hair on carpets and nearly invisible dirt particles from rugs and hard floors, this lightweight and easy-to-maneuver Dyson comes with several attachments, including not one, but *four* cleaning accessories that allow you to go from vacuuming hard floors to deep cleaning pet beds. Better yet, the masterpiece easily converts to a handheld when you need it. Its brilliant no-touch bin-emptying system? Yet another feature that'll make you dread cleaning less. $470; $349 at Amazon Amazon These heat waves feel relentless this year, so if you need a little help keeping cool at night, allow me to introduce you to this cooling comforter from Cozy Bliss that's earned tons of rave reviews. "When they label this a cooling blanket they are not kidding. Climbing in, the bed is cold, even on the hottest day of summer," wrote one happy buyer. Meanwhile, another explained that it kept them cool all through the night, even when temperatures went well into the 90s. The fact that it's majorly discounted now is just a bonus if you ask me. From $87; $68 at Amazon Amazon These enamel-safe teeth whitening strips are popular for a reason (in fact, they're so popular that they've received more than 55,000 reviews from Amazon shoppers). Besides using natural ingredients like coconut oil, dead sea salt and lemon peel oil that won't leave your teeth feeling overly sensitive, the strips are also made with the brand's stain targeting technology that's specifically designed to (you guessed it) target stains. Want proof? Take it from this shopper who shared, "These are the only whitening strips I've used that don't cause any sensitivity at all. No zaps of pain, no lingering gradual, gentle whitening. One thing I love is that the strips are soft and flexible, so they're easy to apply and comfortable to wear." $23; $19 at Amazon Amazon If you need even more relief from the summer heat, you (and your kids, and your pets) won't regret grabbing this fun splash pad for your backyard while it's less than $40. It comes in a few different sizes and prints so you can find one that will best fit your space, and the surface is designed to be non-slip, so you can rest easy letting the kids run through the built-in sprinklers. The materials are BPA- and phalathate-free, too, and thick enough that if your pup wants to join in on the fun, you don't have to worry about their paws snagging it. Still on the fence? You might want to take a look at the more than 27,000 reviews for the splash pad, including this one from a buyer, who shared, "Two years in and this little splash pad is still providing hours of cool, summer fun! Seams have all held up, it's a breeze to put up and take down, and thick enough to hold up to two active toddlers." $60; $35 at Amazon Amazon I heard comfy denim shorts are on your list of things to buy this weekend. Don't ask me how, just do yourself a favor and scoop up this beloved Levi's style that *rarely* disappoints. When I say rarely, I mean more than 20,000 buyers have given them a 5-star rating, and it's all because they fit well, don't gap at the waist, and are said to be the perfect length. Just note that some reviewers suggest sizing up if you're looking for a more relaxed fit—either way, I believe you just found your new go-to Daisy Dukes. From $60; $30 at Amazon Amazon In case you haven't heard, everyone's working out (and even just walking!) with weighted vests on these days. Wanna get in on the fitness trend? Then don't miss your chance to grab this one, that's available in eight different weight options between 5 and 30 pounds, for less. It has a mesh pocket at the back where you can store your phone or keys, and an extra detachable pouch that you can add onto one of the padded straps. "This is awesome, so happy I purchased. I've worn it a couple of times since it arrived a few days ago and you can really feel it! I am only walking with it at the moment but it definitely makes a difference, especially going up hills etc. I love walking, so this is a great way to make the exercise 'count' more," shared one happy buyer.

Vacation Doesn't Start Until You Own One of These Body Shimmer Oils
As the old adage goes: not all that glitters is gold—unless we're talking about body shimmer products. Picture this: you're lying on a beach or lounging by the pool, the sun kissing every gold fleck in your body oil, leaving you bronzed and glowing from head to toe. Sure, sunscreen is a non-negotiable part of any sun care routine, but there's something about that glistening, just-kissed-by-the-sun glow that's confirmation of a vacation well spent. Unlike regular body oils, shimmering body oils offer a more luxurious option, crafted with skin-loving natural oils, glitter, and tropical scents traditionally associated with summer, but suitable for use all year round. 'Shimmer oil is used to highlight and accentuate areas of the skin. It leaves your skin sparkly, glowing, radiant, and hydrated. Shimmer oil can be used anywhere you want to glow—all over your face, neck, cleavage, arms, thighs, and shoulders. Focus on areas that naturally catch the light,' Gisaura Laporte, owner of Hair and Makeup by Gisaura at Sola Salons, tells Body shimmer oils come in a wide range of shades and functions, from bronzed oils that double as self-tanners to oils with added sun protection. Here at we're self-professed vacation experts who have waxed poetic about the best travel beauty essentials and the best tools for all-weather prep. So, if you need a new reason to buy a body oil, our editors and experts provided you with 14 options below. As if the OG almond body oil wasn't a mainstay in everyone's body care collection, L'Occitane upped the ante with a version fit for summer adventures. Staying true to its signature nourishing almond oil base—which combines with castor and sunflower seed oils—this new formula features tiny gold flecks that leaves your skin radiant in any weather. Size: 3.3 fl oz An ELLE editor says: 'I've hit pan on dozens—and I mean, dozens—of bottles of L'Occitane's almond oil. So, when I got my hands on the shimmering version, I knew it wouldn't disappoint—and I was correct. It still nourishes the same as its predecessor, but I enjoy how much more my skin glistens post-application, and it doesn't fade away too quickly. This is definitely a mainstay in my summer travel bag.'—Nerisha Penrose, beauty commerce editor If you want to skip the shimmer oils for something more subtle, take Dior's Shimmering Scrub for a ride. What starts as microbeads transforms into a milky substance that washes away, unveiling a soft, slightly glittery complexion. Size: 5 fl oz A Nordstrom reviewer says: 'This was a great purchase!!! I walked into Nordstrom looking for a perfume and I stumbled across this product. I've tried body shimmers from different brands and this is now my number one choice. It has a nice shimmer on my skin, and it smells amazing.' Sunscreens are fun again, thanks to Vacation, whose expansive SPF offerings include everything from whipped formulas to this lightweight oil. With SPF 30 and glitter flecks, this SPF oil coats the skin in radiance while protecting it. Size: 2.9 fl oz A Nordstrom reviewer says: 'I love how this makes my skin look and feel! My skin looks so golden and so shimmery! It's not sticky on my skin.' Vacation like a Beckham with this bronzy oil inspired by one of the famous couple's Italian trips. An extension of the perfume of the same name, the Portofino '97 oil dries to a citrus and woody scent and leaves a pearlescent finish. Size: 1.69 fl oz A Nordstrom reviewer says: 'Quite an evocative, sexy scent. Love the micro gold shimmer. It may be for special events but it makes me feel special so I use it almost daily. Why not.' Sometimes, all you need is a light dusting of shimmer to elevate a look, whether it's your makeup or applied on top of your body care products. Fenty Beauty's Diamond Bomb comes in two flexible shades that blend seamlessly into the skin for a lit-from-within glow, rather than sitting on top. Size: 0.28 fl oz An Ulta reviewer says: 'This is the most beautiful thing I've ever used. As a self-proclaimed glitter enthusiast, this does the job!!! I use a powder brush and dust this all over my body and it sparkles all day! It looks like a fine loose glitter when applied, but it's a pressed product, so there's no mess. I wanna be buried with this highlighter.' Sothys's oil feels great on the hair and looks even better on the skin. After application, you'll wonder where the gold flecks went, but upon closer examination, you'll notice how seamlessly it melted into your skin and how much more radiant you look. Size: 3.38 fl oz An ELLE editor says: 'At first, I thought this shimmering oil was just merely oil. The formula rubbed into beautifully and smells amazing, but as someone with a deeper complexion, I feared the 'golden' effect would disappear—I was wrong. The trick is to let one layer dry completely before applying another. My skin looks glowy and bronzed in a way that no other body oil has been able to achieve. Just remember to shake to get the full glistening effect.'—Nerisha Penrose No vacation is complete without a Tom Ford Shimmering Body Oil. This OG scent deserves all the shine, thanks to its silky, glossy finish that illuminates every part of the body the oil touches. The sunny scent is reminiscent of salty sea water, sunscreen, and florals warmed up under the sun. Size: 3.4 fl oz An ELLE editor says: 'When I'm on vacation and don't feel like wearing perfume, I simply apply this Tom Ford shimmering oil and it does the trick. Not only does it smell like the most relaxing sunny vacation, but the glittery formula imparts a soft radiance that enhances any look, especially when applied to the decolletage.'—Nerisha Penrose Designed with and for Black women, the formula is focused more on nourishment than the actual glow. The warm bronze shade complements deeper skin tones, while sweet almond oil and mineral oil impart a healthy sheen. An Amazon reviewer says: 'Light texture, soft scent, and radiant skin. I would definitely buy it again!' Moroccanoil hair products consistently deliver soft, silky results for your strands, and its body oil iteration is no exception. The oil melts into your skin like butter, giving you a kissed-by-the-sun radiance. Size: 1.7 fl oz A Moroccanoil reviewer says: 'Super hydrating, and nourishing! Love it! The shimmer is subtle and not clumpy but super gorgeous! One of my tips is sometimes I use it plain but sometimes I add a little to my favorite body lotion to make it have a hint of shine!' The deep bronze color gives lighter skin tones the perfect fake-a-tan finish and accentuates the radiant complexion of deeper tones. Perfect for those who want a subtle glow. Size: 2.5 fl oz A Sephora reviewer says: 'This has been my go-to body oil for 20 years. 5 star formula BUT the size has shrunk. Used to be a much bigger bottle for the same price.' Created with a nourishing blend of oils, ABH delivers shine and moisture with each pump. If you dislike heavy oils, this is an expert favorite, particularly because of its lightweight finish. Size: 1.5 fl oz Our expert says: 'It's lightweight, never greasy, and illuminates with a golden glow finish. My favorite is that it's dermatologist-tested. I have very sensitive skin, so that's the only thing I consider before applying anything to my skin.'—Nerisha Penrose If you prefer your body oils with a deep tint, add Sol de Janeiro's Copacabana Bronze oil to your collection. Cupuaçu butter, açaí oil, and coconut oil are the star ingredients, so you're getting moisture and glow all in one. Size: 2.5 fl oz A Sephora reviewer says: 'I absolutely love this body glow! It makes my skin look beautifully tanned and radiant without feeling greasy. The scent is tropical and addictive—like summer in a bottle. It gives the perfect shimmer and lasts all day. Definitely a new favorite in my routine!' We all want to look as bronzed and moisturized as Rihanna—here's the solution. The formula is more of a gel-like consistency, but it melts into your skin like oil without feeling greasy. A little goes a long way, so opt for a brush to sheer the product instead of using your hands. Size: An ELLE editor says: 'When it comes to pigmented body shimmer products, this one from Fenty takes the cake. I typically use it with my hands but find the finish to be sweeter when applied with a kabuki brush. Because it has a gel-like texture, I apply it on top of my body moisturizer and let it work its magic.'—Nerisha Penrose You should know a body oil from the glow God himself wouldn't disappoint. Patrick Ta has packaged his signature glow for us to mimic at home, delivering an impeccable, sparkly glow that is sure to get you noticed. Size: 3.21 fl oz A Sephora reviewer says: 'Everything in one product—glowy, great-smelling, and stunning. Very easy to blend. Makes your skin looks very natural and shiny. Perfect for everyday and for every season.' Gisaura Laporte, owner of Hair and Makeup by Gisaura at Sola Salons Pretty packaging is a plus, but there's more to consider when choosing a body shimmer oil. 'When purchasing a body shimmer, do a patch test to ensure you are not allergic,' Laporte says. If you prefer your oils with a tint, Laporte says to look for formulas that dry quickly to prevent stains on your clothes. 'Always go for one that is lightweight and gentle on the skin if you are sensitive. Also, look for the ones that are non-sticky. Since oils naturally separate, always give the bottle a shake before using.' 'Body shimmers should be applied as the last step in your skin care routine. After you shower, exfoliate and moisturize. Laporte adds that 'this gives the skin a layer of hydration that ensures the oil stays smoothly and maintains a nice glow,' Laporte adds. If the oil isn't fully transfer-proof, apply after getting dressed. 'If you decide you are wearing it during the day, I recommend SPF 30 to protect your skin's natural glow,' she says. 'The best tool to use when applying the skimmer is your fingers or a brush,' Laporte says. Her personal favorite? A brush, of course. 'I find when using your fingers, it can get sticky and messy. The oil clings more to the hands than to a brush. Always apply less than you think you would need. A little goes a long way. Apply as you need. Trust me; I learned this the hard way,' she explains.

Erewhon Brings Back Its Viral "Sunscreen Smoothie" with Vacation Skincare
Summary Erewhonand skincare brandVacationhave relaunched their cult-favorite Sunscreen Smoothie, available through July 14. Inspired by Vacation's nostalgic sun-care scents, the smoothie blends five forms of coconut — including whipped cream, soft serve and meat — alongside banana, aloe, sea salt, blue spirulina and Tahitian vanilla syrup for a tropical, beachy flavor. Exclusively at Erewhon stores, the drink is free for Erewhon members (who pay $100–$200 USD annually), while non-members can snag it for $10 USD — a relative steal from a grocer known for $20 USD smoothies. Each purchase also comes with a free travel-size Vacation sunscreen. The latest drink follows popular celebrity collaborations like Travis Scott's 'Storm Storm Smoothie.'
