With this week being the July 4th holiday, a lot of us will be heading to the beach. Growing up in Southern California, the beach was the place to go during the summer. It was where the boys were, where you could get a great tan, and catch up with your girlfriends. I still love going to the beach, but find I go there specifically to relax or take a nap in the sun now haha. Oh the perils of getting older. There’s nothing like a beach tan, and that shower after being at the beach all day is heaven. Having a great day at the beach requires some essentials. We all have our favorites and necessities for a fabulous beach day, and I was curious what some of you love to have with you in the sun. So, I asked a few of my favorite bloggers to share their beach bags with us and what’s in them!
Today’s blogger is Brittany of Torts and a Tiara. Brittany is not only gorgeous, but a complete sweetheart as well. I always love seeing what adventures her and her fiancé J are on and try to live vicariously through her and her fabulous life. I’m so excited for Brittany for all the wonderful changes that have taken place in her life in the past year and she remains not only down-to-earth, but one of my favorite bloggers by far. Check out what’s in her beach bag:
What’s in her bag–Bag:”I always love a large beach bag – one that can hold all my essentials, a towel, and a bottle of water. This bag from Target is my current favorite. It’s the perfect size, and I love the chic and simple pattern.”
Fedora: “A former sun worshipper, I now guard my hair and skin from harsh rays. If I’m on the beach or near a pool you can usually find me with a hat or towel over my hair and face. I love fedoras because they look adorable with maxi dresses… This one from Target is similar to the one I bought there last year.”
Bikini: “I find that the simplest bikinis are often the most flattering. I purchased this crochet one from Victoria’s Secret a couple years ago.”
Sandals: “While a great pair of wedges can lengthen the leg, I usually find myself wanting to avoid an embarrassing nosedive into the sand and opt for some chic little flats. I have been living in my Jack Rogers sandals this summer.”
Hair Products: “I like to have a hair product with me on the beach. Sometimes I take along a UV-protecting spray but my current favorite is this Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray for sexy, textured beach waves.”
Spray Oil: “This Nuance by Salma Hayek oil is available exclusively at CVS. I love spritzing this oil on my arms and legs to moisturize them. The oil is a blend of jojoba, coconut oil, and passion fruit oil. Your stems will glisten afterward!!”
Summer Scent: “No beach bag is complete without a sexy Summer scent. My latest obsession?? The crisp and cool unisex fragrance, Shelter Island, by Bond No. 9. Bonus points for sharing with your squeeze!!”
Sunscreen: “Tocca’s Stella SPF 30 Sunscreen Towelettes are a definite beach bag essential for me. I’ve kept these stocked in my beach bags for years now!! The towelette form makes applying SPF so convenient and easy. I always keep Neutrogena’s Ultra Sheer Sunscreen handy… I love the lightweight, non-greasy formula and it can be used on both face and body.”
Body Butter: “For an amazing tropical smell and a gorgeous luminous glow, I love Pacifica’s Coconut Crushed Pearl Luminizing Body Butter. Apply to collarbones, cheekbones, and shins for a highlighted, slimming look.”
Come back tomorrow for another blogger’s beach bag!!!
