My beach bag hasn't changed in years. Not because I haven't tried other things, but because the current lineup works, and I've stopped seeing the point in messing with that.

It's just 8 (actually 9 because I accidentally left off the Tower 28 facial spray and its a must if you get breakouts like me) things that each do exactly one job, and none of them are up for negotiation. Someone asked me recently what's actually in there, and I realized I had more to say about it than I expected.

***Oh, and not pictured, the endless amount of pool toys, goggles, and pool snacks for the boys. Because I want to make this pretty.***

Let's get into it.

Lens Wipes

Trust me, once you use these you will always want them. I keep them in the car, bag, everywhere.

Portable Fan

10/10. Not glamorous but one of the most used items that we bring to the beach, and I can’t go without it (bonus: it’s great for when doing skincare too).

Headphones

I actually prefer these over a set of AirPods. They are so cheap (because honestly I loose these more than I’d like to admit) and they are small and don’t hurt my ears!

Hair Ties

Comes in a pack of 50, doesn’t give me split ends, and I don’t feel bad when I lose one (because I will just grab another). They are doing more work than anything else in this bag.

Claw Clip

Backup for when the tie inevitably gives out. It’s an easy way to throw your hair up and still look chic (love that you can personalize this one).

Sunscreen Lip Balm

The first thing people ask about. Lip hydration and SPF in one. Comes with me anytime I travel. Highly recommend!

Sunscreen Oil

Literally just sent this to a friend today. Still SPF. Just better if you want to try and get a tan without the burn.

Prada Sunglasses

They are just really, really good. I’m sorry but Prada just does it right.

Body SPF Milk

It kinda has a sheen that makes your skin (and legs) look so good.

Beach Bag

The star of the show and the bag I reach for every trip. It holds all of these essentials and never misses.
