Hollydays - Beach Bum Essentials
I know this is a day later than usual but yesterday was a bit of a gong show so my apologies - As this July has seemed to have brought a giant heat wave (to which I’m not complaining) I thought it would be best to share some of my beach bum essentials!
Swim cozzies (duh): I won’t bore you with the details as I already have a post focused on my favourite swimwear I will say I have been loving one- pieces with fun details or cute cut-outs and Swimco is the place to go for all your swim needs!
Sunnies: I have a couple of more expensive pairs however they don’t come to the beach with me because I am a bit of a clutz! Instead I like to buy affordable trendy glasses #instateady
Snacks! When it comes to heat waves, I don’t tend to eat a lot but snacks for some reason come really easy haha. I always try to pack sweet,salty and a treat: this usually includes fruit like, watermelon, grapes, pineapple and strawberries (or any kind of berries). As for salty, I make a mock charcuterie board with meats, cheeses, crackers and olives, then I usually have cucumbers and carrots as my go-to veggies. Then treats usually include chips or crisps or fries (whatever you want to call things) sometimes popcorn... I have been loving Lays’ poppables recently and maybe ice cream 😋.
Beach towel... it’s shocking how often I do forget a towel, however I have been obsessing over summer and rose towels, there big a gorgeous, I got mine in my fabfitfun box but there are so many other patterns I’ve got my eye on!
Sunscreen: I am very picky when it comes sunscreen and I have been loving Coola sunscreens as of lately!!
Floaties: I know how to swim but sometimes I like to chill in the lake for a little while when it’s so hot out, so I grab a floatie so I can relax, I love my doughnut one that I recently discovered has a hole in it 😭 but I not significant enough yet that I can still use it - I’ve also ordered a ring toss game that I can’t wait to try in the water!
What are your beach essentials?
Hope you’re having a lovely relaxing weekend
Big Love, thebrokeblonde xo
