All of the essentials for those perfect sunny days!
Is there such thing as a bad beach or pool day?
Although I sunburn in an instant, I still love heading to the water for a day out in the sun! Summertime comes and goes quick, so we have to enjoy it while we still can.
Here’s everything I keep in my beach/pool bag.
Sunscreen & Aloe Vera
This one is a given. Since I burn so quickly, I always make sure I have an SPF 50 on hand and reapply it all day long (emphasis on reapply). As soon as I head into the shade, I throw on my favorite Aloe Vera and it instantly moisturizes my skin and keeps my burn feeling cool!
My Favorites:
Cute Towel
No matter where I'm going, I like bringing my own pool/beach towel with me. This Sand Cloud one is so soft (and cute) and can easily be rolled up and thrown into my bag. No more bulky towels allowed!
My Favorites:
Snacks
I don’t think I go anywhere without a snack on me. You never know when hanger is going to strike! SkinnyPop and Smart Sweets are the perfect beach snacks because they won’t get melty in the sun and they’re light enough so you won’t feel bloated after you indulge.
My Favorites:
Hydro Flask Water Bottle
No one wants their water to get hot. Especially when you're in the sun. Hydro Flask keeps my drink cold all day long and is a necessity at the beach or pool!
My Favorites:
A Book
You can’t have a beach or pool day without a really good book. Crazy Rich Asians is one of my favorites (and the movie is great too!) Lighthearted, fun reads are the best for a relaxing day.
My Favorites:
Sunglasses
I’m not afraid of “raccoon eyes” from wearing sunglasses in the sun. I have super sensitive eyes, so I’ll take my chances at weird tan lines and am always wearing my Raybans!
My Favorites:
AirPods or a Speaker
If you’re hanging alone by the pool or at the beach with some friends, music is always a must. I bring my AirPods or a speaker every single time to keep the energy up!
Scrunchies
Hair tie emergencies are the very worst. These are my favorite scrunchies ever since they're silk and don't damage my hair when it's wet or dry.
My Favorites:
Facial and Hair Mists
I’m not a big water girl, so if I’m getting super hot, I’ll spray on a facial mist for a little refresher! I also love that post-beach hair wave, and this spray gives it a little extra something something.
My Favorites:
Jump into summertime with all of these beach/pool day essentials! I can't forget the cutest bag ever from KCA Design Co. either.
Always,
Alina Ann
