Black Girl BBQ Essentials

1. Sunscreen

We’re all about protecting melanin. Before setting up at any barbecue this summer, be sure to rub your brown skin with some sunscreen that not only shields you from the sun but also doesn’t leave a white cast. 

2. Crochet Set

We are obsessed with texture this season, and a set like this is ideal for slaying a backyard soiree. Pair it with your favorite slides and a cute pair of sunnies, and your BBQ outfit is complete. 

3. Portable Misting Fan

BBQs are usually held outside during some of the hottest months of the year. To stay comfortable and cool, consider purchasing a portable misting fan that you can easily access from your stylish bag at any time to combat the heat. 

4. Outdoor Rocker Chair

Now you know the seats are usually reserved for the elders at the family BBQ. No worries, though, because a cute outdoor chair like this will not only provide a comfortable spot to sit but also complement your stylish look—a win-win. 

5. Popping Lipstick

What’s a BBQ essential list without a popping lippie? It’s a must we roll into any BBQ function with a cute lipstick on that can’t be denied. Try The Lip Bar’s latest red shade to glam up your BBQ look. 

6. A Cute Tumbler

It’s a must we stay hydrated while at the BBQ, so why not do so while sipping out of a cute tumbler that matches our Black girl essence?! And if you want to add another beverage to your tumbler besides water, that’s your business!

7. Sun Stick

To keep your face protected while outside at the BBQ, apply this face sun stick, packed with the essentials you need to protect your face against UV rays. It fits right in your purse and can be re-applied throughout the day.
