My Beach Essentials ☼

hi everyone :) I thought I'd include a post about my beach essentials on my blog, because 1. the beach is one of my favorite places to be, and 2. I'm traveling to the beach right now, where I'll be staying for a week! whenever I go to the beach I like to pack a lot of things in my beach bag that I'm likely to use. so in this blog post I'll be showing you guys pictures/descriptions of what's in my beach bag! here we go :)

ok, so this first picture shows all the products I bring in my beach bag. here's a list/pictures of all the products:

1. Pacifica body butter: Hawaiian Ruby Guava

I don't know about you guys, but my skin can get pretty dry, especially when I'm at the beach! so this is pretty useful to me, since I'll be sitting in the sand and swimming in the water a lot :)

2. Nivea sunscreen- SPF 50+

I use this sunscreen for my body (excluding my face). it's good to have sunscreen with a medium to high SPF!

3. Neutrogena clear face sunscreen- SPF 30

I like to use special face sunscreen instead of just putting regular sunscreen on my face; face sunscreen is great if you have sensitive skin.

4. Hawaiian Tropic after-sun moisturizer

I love this moisturizer because it accentuates my tan, and helps me stay tanner longer! also, it's moisturizer and Aloe Vera combined which is cool!

5. Not Your Mother's Texturizing Sea Salt Spray

I love this; it gives your hair that wavy, beachy look without it getting too messy! my favorite thing to do is put my hair in a French braid and then use the sea salt spray, so later on it gets really wavy :)

6. Garnier Fructis Thickening Lotion

another hair product! my hair is super straight naturally, and it can get kinda flat sometimes-especially after I've been swimming. this product gives my hair more volume

7. up&up hand sanitizer- kiwi punch

I bring this just in case! also it smells really good hehe

8. Secret gel deodorant- active fresh

this deodorant is great because it doesn't leave white marks, and it's waterproof!

9. Nivea mint and minerals lip balm 

I definitely recommend this lip balm! if your lips get chapped easily, it's a must-have

and that's it for products I use at the beach! here is everything else:

this is my beach bag (from American Eagle Outfitters), a towel, some hair ties, and my Conair brush

I also bring a little makeup for my face: Maybelline BB cream and Bobbi Brown face power! then I have my Fendi sunglasses, InStyle magazine to read on the beach, and just a small bag to put shells or sea glass in :)

hope you guys enjoyed this post! I will be doing more beach posts when I'm in Cape Cod, so stay tuned :)
