Crushable Hat!
This is my go to beach accessory that I carry with me every time we plan a trip to the beach here in our hometown or on our vacation. You don't have to spend a lot of money. Pack it and roll it, it will pop back into place! My go to hat is my Helen Kaminski Packable Hat from Nordstrom.
Sunscreen
A good reasonable clean sunscreen made for everyone is from Beautycounter. It is healthy, with non toxins. This is a definitely a necessity and my favorite Beautycounter products are the sunscreen lotion and sunscreen for face.
Ice Pack Pouch
Inside your beach bag pack Icy Cools Neoprene Insulated Pouch. For all the products that can’t handle too much heat just pop the pouch in the freezer with the ice pack inside the pouch and you will be ready to hit the beach in no time. Since I usually have a bare face at the beach I like to carry my Laura Mercier Hydrating Lip Balm and Facial Sunscreen from Beauty Counter. It’s nice knowing I have my favorite items protected from the heat at the beach.
Personal Cup Holder- No need for beach chairs!
If you plan on staying at the beach for a whole day these “cup holders” are a must. You can easily pack the stackable cup holder that can be placed directly in the sand, keeping your drinks and water bottles sand free.
Sand Problems? Don’t worry I have the best product for you!
Beach Sandy sand remover brushes are my new favorite essential beach item. There are a couple of sizes that really work on just about anything. The bristles of the brush are soft and not harsh on the skin or anything for that matter. It takes the sand off of surfboards, skin, towels, bags, phones, and dog paws too! I’ve put it to the test and this product is a must have!
Beach cover up
I got the thing for you! The Sarong is a great item to have that can be used to and from the beach. There are many colors you can choose from to make your beach style complete. The best part is you can wear this is many different ways that compliment your body and the hot temps outside.
The Towel Deal Situation: I have a game changer for you
Towels are so bulky to pack and don’t really dry quickly and hold so much sand! Well I have a solution for this beach dilemma. It’s the beach towels from Dock & Bay. They are super easy to pack so you won’t need that big towel bag anymore. They come in various sizes, colors and patterns. The best part is they dry very quickly & you can shake the sand right off! It’s the perfect item for your beach bag.
The Thigh Problem; I was not blessed with a thigh gap. Not an issue anymore!
I saved the best for last! Let's be honest, the friction between our inner thighs is a hassle in itself and can be worrisome. The real question is how do we deal with it. Well this product is a life saver and works wonders for me! I learned about this brand from a podcast with Marie Forleo and Katie Sturino (Founder of Mega Babe) and I have been hooked on the MegaBabe brand. Try the Thigh Rescue Anti- Friction Stick! Available at Target & Ulta! Thank me later.
