What's in Your Beach Bag?

Hey Girls! It's been such a busy month! With all of our exams, vacation plans, and summer preparations it's been hard to post. But this post is all about the essentials any fashionista needs in her beach bag to stay looking, and feeling fabulous during a typical day at the beach! Whether it's the coast of Florida or the beaches of Italy, these are some products we love to throw in your beach bag!


The Bag
These are some of our favorite beach bags, but anything works as long as it's big and versatile!







Beauty Essentials
While you're at the beach, makeup will likely wear away from the hot sun and the salty spray. Try a tinted moisturizer with SPF to keep in your bag for re-application. For that gorgeous beachy glow, keep some bronzer with you. Also stay natural with just a little mascara -- waterproof of course. Another good product to keep handy is a nice lip balm with SPF in it. Your lips need protection too! And who could forget sunscreen? Be sure and apply several times throughout the day in order to maintain beautiful skin for later in your life!

Haircare
Some basic items are necessary to maintain your luscious locks in the sand. It gets hot on the beach, so it only makes sense to bring some hair ties to keep your neck from getting too sweaty. Also a brush and some beachy waves spray for when you get out of the ocean and need to tame your mane!

Staying Fresh
It gets unbearably hot sometimes at the beach, and with heat comes sweat. Have some body mist and deodorant handy in case you want to go out after!

Shades
Most people don't know that the sun's harmful rays are damaging to your eyes as well as your skin! Keep a cute pair of sunnies handy to keep your eyes protected!

Snacks
While the ice cream and sodas may tempt you, in order to stay healthy and energized a good bottle of water and a granola bar may be your best bet. Keep some food with you that's healthy and yummy such as almonds, fruit, or granola! These foods will give you the boost that you need to go play an active game of volleyball, or surf the waves!

Tunes/A Good Read
It may get boring just laying out and soaking up the sun, so keep your mind busy with a good book! Your iPod is also a nice thing to keep you entertained.

If you have any other things you keep in your beach bag, be sure to let us know!
