With Summer right around the corner I thought I should show you all some of my summer must have! From Fashion, accessories to must haves at the beach! Although I don’t bring all of the items below, I wanted to make a full comprehensive list of all of the goodies for everyone. So read on to see what the best things are for the beach!
- Bathing Suits: So I love bikinis, this year, my favorite types are high waisted. I love high waisted because they hide a little more on your stomach, and they elongate your legs and even make your butt look amazing! This one, and this one are my favorites. American Eagle also has a lot of cute one pieces and two pieces! One one piece that I am obsessed with is this one here, it is super comfy, and so flattering! It has rouching on the stomach and just fits so well.
- Sun screen: Make sure you are always protecting your skin! Sunscreen has various strengths, but make sure you use it on your face and body and reapply every few hours! I like using face sunscreens, specially made for the face because my pores don’t seem to get clogged that way. Coola makes great sunscreen. Neutrogena makes great sunscreen, along with Banana Boat.
- Sun oil: If you’re the type who like oil, my favorite is and has always been the Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning Oil. This makes my skin soft and gives me such the perfect tan! This sunscreen doesn’t have high SPF, so just beware of that!
- Phone charger: You want to make sure your phone is always charged when you’re at the beach! You will be using it a lot with photos, videos or even playing music, so make sure it’s charged! Here are some you can purchase off of Amazon, here, here and here. Just make sure to charge it prior and to bring your cord!
- Music player: You’ll want to listen to music while on the beach! So make sure you get a music player that is battery operated, or that has a long play time and that can sync up to your phone like this one, here, here or here.
- Towels: So I like to have a few towels at the beach. I have the towel that I lay on, I have a towel that I use to wipe off sweat or wipe off water, then I have a towel to put down in my car for when I drive back home! I know its a lot, but I like to make sure my cars seat doesn’t get wet! The towel that I lay on I like to be longer just so my whole body can lay on it, like this one here. There’s also circle beach towels that look so cute like this one here.
- Cooler: I need to go to the beach with a cooler! It ensures all my snacks, drinks, and sandwiches are cold! Here is one, here, here and here.
- Drink holder: Hate putting your drink in the sand and getting all the sand on it? Me too! Well this drink holder is a must have. Or try this one here.
- Sunglasses: Make sure your eyes are protected from the harmful rays! I love, Quay, and Sojo sunnies!
- Hat: Make sure your head is protected from the rays! Your head can get burnt, plus having a hat will make sure your face is protected a little more too! I love wide brim hats like this one here or here.
- Tote: You need a big enough beach bag for all of your stuff, check out this one here, here, here or here.
- Chap stick: Your lips are sensitive, make sure your lips are moisturized and use a chap stick or lip balm. This one is my favorite. This one has SPF in it, as does this one.
- Something to entertain you: When you’re at the beach, swimming, or laying down can keep you entertained but sometimes you need a little more! So bring a soccer ball, kindle, ipad, spikeball, tennis, limbo, or many more games!
- Tent: This is super important if you have kids or have sensitive skin! A tent will help protect you from the suns rays. Here are some cute ones I have found, here, here and here.
- Battery operated fan: Sometimes all you want is a nice cool breeze and you’re not getting any at the beach! So why not bring your own fan? Check out this one here, here and here.
- Beach chair: There are so many types of chairs to choose from that I didn’t even know existed! This one here is like a lounge pad, this one is a camping type of beach chair with a built in drink holder. This one is just a folding chair. This is a low chair. This one is low but has armrests. This one is also like a lounge pad.
- Portable safe: When you’re at the beach you often leave your products unattended so a portable safe will help keep them locked up and safe! I found a one I want that I want to try and get before my first beach trip this summer! Check them out here, here and here. They come in all styles and shapes!
- Waterproof phone case: Because you’re at the beach your bound to get your phone wet in one way or another! Try getting a waterproof phone case. I have one similar to this one here and here.
- Sand remover: Who else hates going to the beach and having the sand stick to you? Or getting all that sand in your car? Well this sand remover is supposed to help you get the sand off you easily!
- Cover ups: To me cover ups are just so fun for me! It’s like a quick and easy dress to use. I love this one here, here, here and here.
