The Lovely Side: Make more time for summer fun with Grove Collaborative

This offer has expired, but stay tuned for more special deals.

It may not be "officially" summer yet, but the beautiful weather has arrived. For me, that means weekends and weeknights spent outside grilling supper, sitting next to the fire pit, and (eventually) floating around in the pool with a refreshing drink.

Unfortunately, housework doesn't take a summer vacation. But who wants to go shopping for cleaning supplies when you could be having a backyard cookout or enjoying poolside cocktails? Not this girl. Our house in rural, small town Iowa definitely has its perks, like a big yard and pool. However, proximity to the stores that carry my favorite Mrs. Meyer's products is not one of them.

Thanks to Grove, I can buy my favorite products in their summer-scented fragrances at a discounted price and have them delivered right to my doorstep. I can order what I want and have it delivered when I need it. So I'm spending less time and money driving 30+ minutes to the store... and more time lounging poolside with a good book.

And it's not just cleaning supplies I'm stocked up on for summer, but also everything from my favorite facial wipes and nighttime moisturizer to sunscreen and bug repellent.

When you sign up for Grove right now, you'll get this Summer Chef’s set FREE with your first order of $20.

Here’s whats included:

Free Mrs. Meyer’s Hand Soap
Free Mrs. Meyer’s Dish Soap
Free Mrs. Meyer’s Multi-Surface Spray
Free Grove Collaborative Bubble Up
Free Shipping & 60 Day VIP Trial

The Summer Chef's set is perfect for keeping your kitchen fresh and tidy all summer long. You can choose your scents for the free Mrs. Meyer's dish soap, hand soap, and spray—so feel free to mix and match. This year, I just couldn't choose between my favorite radish and basil scents for summer. And since I love the colorful look of their coral and turquoise labels next to each other, I decided to mix it up this season.

Grove has saved me so much time, money, and energy when it comes to keeping stocked up on my must-haves. I have a VIP membership, too, which means free shipping, free gifts, price matching, and personal service. (Grove's customer service is seriously the best.) As part of this deal, you'll get free shipping and a free VIP trial for 60 days. And I truly believe that you won't want to give it up in end. ;)

(Already a subscriber? You'll get a free set of my favorite Grove Walnut Scrubber Sponges.)

Not sure what to spend your first $20 on?

Don't worry—I have a few recommendations.

Camping or backyard parties?
Keep the bugs off with Badger Balm. Their SPF 34 Anti-Bug Sunscreen Cream provides Deet-free bug repellent and broad spectrum protection from UVA and UVB rays and their Anti-Bug Shake and Spray comes in a super convenient 2.7 oz travel size. Get them both for only $22.24.

Travel plans or road trips?
Keep your beauty routine simple by tossing a few essentials in your bag. Yes To Grapefruit Grapefruit Even Skin Tone Moisturizer boasts a bright, citrusy scent, SPF 15, and a soothing formula that helps reduce dark spots. Protect your lips with Yes To Naturally Smooth Lip Balm. It's become my favorite chapstick and the coconut scent is so summery. And at the end of the day, refresh and cleanse your face with Yes To Cucumbers Hypoallergenic Facial Wipes, w which come in a handy travel size pack. All this will only set you back $21.87.

Days at the lake, beach, or pool?
Badger Balm's SPF 30 Sunscreen Cream provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and comes in a lovely lavender scent. And the After Sun Balm is a "total body balm" that can be used anywhere on your body. Made with cocoa and shea butters, it's a perfect addition to your sun care routine. Buy both for a total of $22.18.

As you can see, $20 goes a long way at Grove—and they have so much more to offer.
