You’ll want this one-and-done outfit in every color, says Ndlovu. The athletic dress has a flattering wrap front skirt and built-in shorts, so you can feel extra secure. "I also love that it has that built-in shelf bra [and] those built-in straps, which is great for working out," Ndlovu adds. It also comes in inclusive sizing, including options for petite and tall body types, as well as three cute colors.

Summer is no friend to hot sleepers, that’s why Ndlovu says this cooling blanket is about to be your new summer essential and possibly something you’ll want to use every single day. The brand says it’s breathable, lightweight and helps lowers your body temperature, thanks to Japanese "Arc-Chill" cool technology. “The double-sided cooling fabric stays cool to the touch, so you don’t have to keep searching for the ‘cold side,’” says Ndlovu. It's also machine washable and is available in four sizes.

“You know that moment when you’re flipping your pillow over and over trying to find the cool side? This solves that,” explains Ndlovu. “It feels instantly cool when you lay down and helps keep you feeling comfortable all night long.” According to the brand, it’s designed for every sleep style and allows you to adjust the filling to your firmness preference.

Whether you're exercising or spending time outside, these cooling bracelets are a discreet way to beat the heat.

These instant cooling pads from this viral K-beauty brand are perfect for post-sun care, reducing puffiness and relieving stressed summer skin. "It also helps to reduce the appearance of pores," notes Ndlovu. According to the brand, the pads are infused with a cooling agent, coconut oil and hyaluronic acid to help calm your skin. Just leave a couple of pads on your skin for a few minutes for a mini ice-like facial, suggests Ndlovu.

While others are opting for shorter styles in the summer, Ndlovu says she's reaching for long-sleeve linen shirts that not only provide protection from sun rays and mosquitos, but also feel lightweight and keep her cool. This premium Uniqlo top is made from 100% linen and comes in both women and men adult sizes. Ndlovu loves the relaxed fit, which she says pairs perfectly with the brand’s linen-blend easy pants that features a drawstring waist and deep pockets.

Aloha Collection is a brand that people line up for hours for in Hawaii, says Ndlovu. The small pouch was designed for stowing wet swimwear, so you can easily pack it in your tote after a day at the beach. Plus, it can be used as a makeup and toiletry bag, too. The brand offers a variety of island-themed designs that pair perfectly with the reversible tote, which basically gives you a two-in-one look. Both items are “splash-proof,” to protect your belongings from unwanted spills, splashes and even rain.

This new launch from Peter Thomas Roth is a cooling mist that instantly refreshes and energizes your complexion, all thanks to a special "IceAwake Activating" technology. "This is like an ice plunge for your face," shares Ndlovu. According to the brand, it’s formulated with hyaluronic acid, caffeine, tea extracts and a peppermint formula that visibly calms your skin and targets puffiness and redness.

"If you're the 'hostess with the mostess,' you definitely want to grab this," says Ndlovu about this hosting hack. “Just keep these cooling mats in the freezer and pull them out when you’re ready to serve charcuterie boards, appetizers or party platters,” she says. According to the brand, they’re easy to clean and will help keep your food fresh for up to one hour.

These viral candied-grapes are a guilt-free snack, with only 45 calories per pack, according to the brand. Made of real fruit with a sugar coating, you just store these in the freezer for a little sweet-and-sour treat. One TODAY host gave them a try and called them "magical" after one bite.
