Beach Bag Essentials

With Memorial Day this upcoming weekend I thought I’d start the week off with some beach bag essentials! No matter if you’re headed to the pool or the beach this summer make sure to fill your tote with things that are helpful and fashionable.

Beach Bag Essentials

If you’ve been around here very long, you know that I’m all about using ‘clean’ ingredients in all my skincare products. That also includes my sunscreen! All of the sunscreen products I’m linking in this post are a ‘mineral’ based formula. The primary ingredient is zinc oxide which will sit on top of the skin, but not be soaked into the body’s system. I’ve linked a couple of different brands for you to try out.

I’m also linking my favorite sunnies, beach bag and beach towels. In fact, I recently just went through the linen closet and discarded all the worn out old beach towels. Then I promptly went and bought new ones. I typically replace them every two or three years. With the kids at the house during the summer, we can be kinda hard on our towels!

Navy Striped Beach Tote: This summer I’m really loving the navy theme. This tote is oversized! Perfect for packing all the essentials for the pool or beach.

Sun Glasses: These Peepers sunglasses have been on repeat recently. I love that they are so stylish, and at a really reasonable price.

Striped Beach Towels: I’m linking this one style here, but I’m linking more below. I love to mix and match the colors and patterns. All of these are XL towels because all the kids are teenagers or older!

Tula Sunscreen: Tula has a couple of different sunscreen formulas. I use the Mineral Magic the most, but I’ve also used the Protect and Glow formula too. Five stars for both, in my opinion! Also, the Mineral Magic is a ‘clean’ product!

Super Goop Play: This is a new brand to me. Again, I have linked the mineral formulas based on the ‘clean’ ingredients requirement I have. I actually have several products in my cart!! I’ve heard lots of good things about it, and will let you know what I think after I’ve used them for a bit.

Simple Modern Insulated Cup: These are my favorite insulated cups! They come in several different sizes, colors, patterns, and school logos. Also, they send extra lids, and replacement straws! Best of all, they keep my beverage really cold or hot for a minimum of 24 hrs. Highly recommend!

Beach Accessories

This season I bought this straw bucket hat… And I love it! I wasn’t sure how I felt about it, but they are so trendy right now, and this style is perfect for the pool or beach, because it shades your eyes, and doesn’t tend to catch the wind and flip off like a typical large brim sun hat will. It’s a fun, inexpensive accessory that puts a smile on my face, so why not???

Also, I’m including sever different flip flops and sandals that are fun for the pool or beach. I always wear inexpensive shoes simply because if they get lost or ruined, I won’t be upset about it.

I’m linking all of these and a few others in the carousel below!
