Summer is in full force and there’s really only one way to
beat the California sun and that is to dip your toes into the cool Pacific
Ocean so todays post is all about what I keep in my beach bag! I am one of those people that likes to be totally prepared which is really code for I like to throw as many things as I can into my bag! So here are my beach bag must haves (:
First things first, sunscreen. Being a former swimmer I’ve
spent my fair share of time in the sun and these days I want to prevent any further
damage to my skin so sunscreen is an absolute must, hence why I have two! I like
to bring a spray on one for my body, this one is really nice because it has a
cooling effect that feels amazing when you reapply, and I also find that you
get a really even coverage when using a spray on. Usually I would bring a
sunscreen that is meant specifically for your face but this is just one that I had
laying around and I find that it works great and doesn’t irritate my face at
all. And then, because I am a typical girl and like to have beautifully bronzed
skin year round but especially in the summer, I bring tanning oil for those
days that I won’t be in the sun for too long.
For after I have gotten enough sun for the day I have a few
products that I like to use before going anywhere else. First, a leave in
conditioner and a brush. This conditioner is by Joico and its one that I used to
use after getting out of the shower but I find that it’s a little too heavy for
my freshly washed hair but works perfectly to get the tangles out once I’ve
come out of the ocean. This cute LOVE brush is from Forever 21 but any brush
works. Because I have curly hair I keep curl cream, this one’s by Not Your
Mothers and it smells AMAZING. If you don’t want to keep a curl cream I recommend
a sea salt spray, the Not Your Mothers Beach Babe Texturizing Spray works
great! I also like to keep deodorant and lotion, this changes pretty often but
the ones in my bag right now are Secret Clinical Strength and Bath and Body
Works Secret Wonderland.
And lastly the a few random essentials! I am OBSESSED with sunglasses
so the pair I bring changes pretty much every day but I do like to bring cheap
ones to the beach because frankly I can’t be trusted with nice things, these
ones are Forever 21. I also like to bring some gum, I love the Stride Sour Patch
gum but fair warning the flavor doesn't last so you'll end up eating the whole pack! And a hair tie to pull back my hair and some extras just incase my friends need any.
And that’s it! Hope you guys enjoyed, until next time!
