My July

For every muddy trail, salty breeze, and unplanned detour.

Our Woods Dog Spray—a companion to Woods Nature Spray—is a gentle, vet-approved, DEET-free flea, tick, and mosquito repellent thoughtfully made so your furry friend can wander as freely—and as safely—as you do.

Our Serenity Now Body Butter was named “Best Scented Body Butter for Pregnancy” by Glamour. A proprietary blend of lavender, helichrysum, palmarosa, and frankincense essential oils is formulated for stretch marks, scars, and everyday irritation—and smells like a spa, to boot.

There’s a particular kind of magic to summer in the Hamptons; the way it gathers curious, generous people all in one place, all wanting to help each other feel well.

This past week, we set up our table at The Purist Health Fair at the Southampton Arts Center, and it reminded us why we do this. Whether you were discovering My July for the first time, replenishing a favorite ritual, or sharing your own personal chronic illness story, thank you.

As a small, mother-daughter business, days like this—away from screens, face to face—the whole point.

Thank you to The Purist for bringing this community together, and to everyone who made it a day to remember. 🤍

Hydrangea season is also tick and mosquito season. Our bestselling Woods Nature Spray is our naturally derived tick and mosquito repellent, made for slow mornings, garden parties, late dinners, and everything in between. Clinically tested to provide 85% protection against mosquitoes and complete protection against ticks when reapplied every 3–4 hours.

Hi friend, July has always held special meaning for me.

It’s the peak of summer—the sun warming your back, long days by the water, warm nights spent outside listening to crickets sing. There’s an ease to it all that feels deeply comforting.

Some of the most pivotal moments of my life have happened in July: my first trip to Europe, my family’s move from Connecticut to California, and my first half marathon with my mom.

It’s also the month I was diagnosed with Lyme disease.

That diagnosis became part of the reason my mom and I built what we built—a return to ease, to nature, and to feeling at home in your body.

Even if July isn’t your favorite month—or you don’t have one at all—it’s this feeling of well-being we’ve always tried to weave into everything we create at My July.

Here’s to freedom, healing, feeling loved, and living in alignment with your highest self.

Here’s to whatever your July may be.

In harmony with nature,
Micaela

What we love most about summer is how carefree it feels. In many ways, that feeling is what inspired our name, My July.

With summer in full swing comes long days spent outdoors—vacations, camp, beach days, gardening, and everything in between. Supporting your skin during this season is essential, which is why we curated a collection of warm-weather staples designed to soothe, protect, and renew.

May these essentials help support your skin, your body, and your time in nature.
