What Should Be In Your Beach Bag



Hat - As much as we all love that summer sun, we don’t need that sun blasting in our face the entire day. Cover it up!!!
Sunglasses - Have you ever gotten a nasty sunburn on your eyelids before? I have... and boy does it sting! You want to protect your eyes from the sun’s UV rays since extended exposure can be damaging. Cover your eyes with some shades and you’ll be happy not to see that red burn!
Book - Easy reads at the beach are relaxing and we all love that the stories can whisk us away to another time & place.
Magazine - Easy to carry & it’s not a big deal if you get some salt water on them! Some of my favorite beach magazine reads are Vogue, Seventeen, Elle, InStyle, and Glamour.
Sunscreen – Don’t even think about laying out in the sun without slathering on a layer of sunscreen on your face and body! Try applying a liberal amount 15 to 30 minutes BEFORE going outdoors. Remember to reapply throughout the day as well. If you don’t have a lip balm with SPF in it, rub a bit of your sunscreen on your lips too. I recommend Bobbi Brown Treatment Lip Shine SPF 15 in Papaya for lip protection that also has some color. The sunscreen I have been loving is Neutrogena Body Mist Sunblock for my body and Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-touch Sunblock for my face.
Tanning Lotion – Well, if we’re going to lay out in the sun, we want to tan evenly and smell like vacation!
Lip Gloss - A little shine at the beach is an instant pick up! Bobbi Brown Rich Color Gloss in Pink Raspberry is perfect! You know you need that after a few sand particles fly in your mouth!
Towel - Just throw in a cute towel and you're set!

What else do you carry in your beach bag?
