☽ Hallo Liz ☾

Hello everybody,

It is now summer time (cue HSM music ~WHAT TIME IS IT?? SUMMER TIME~) in Australia and everyone is flocking to the beach, myself included. So I decided to show you what essential items are in my beach bag.



The bag I use for the beach is this bag from Tigerlily. It's really big and has cute prints on it.


My beach bag essentials:

1. A bottle of water. Gotta stay hydrated while outdoors in the hot sun.

2. Some sort of body fragrance. Mine is the Bath and Body Works' fragrance mist in Coconut Lime Breeze. It smells delicious and summery. Perfect to spritz on when you want to smell nice, especially if you're going somewhere after lounging around out in the sun and swimming in the ocean.

3. A hat. This will protect your face from the sun (no one wants premature wrinkles) especially if you plan to lie down in the sun and tan. Hats are also a cute accessory and can hide unruly beach hair.

4. My phone and earphones. Lying out in the sun listening to music is my idea of a perfect day.

5. A beach towel. Mine is a giant circle watermelon towel from Cotton On. It's so damn cute and it's big enough to share with another person.

6. Snacks. You're probably going to get hungry at the beach (at least I do, because I'm always hungry) so bringing some snacks is always a good idea. I love munching on almonds or fruit at the beach.

7. My SPF 50+ 4 hour water resistant invisible zinc. I use this to protect my tattoo when I'm out in the sun.

8. Reef coconut dry sun tan oil SPF 30+. So this offers sun protection while also helping you get a nice tan? What a dream. The smell of it is also lovely and it leaves your skin so soft and moisturised.

9. A little pouch full of little essential things. I'll get into this later.

10. Sunglasses, because you don't want to be blinded by the sun.

11. My wallet. Obviously.

12. A book. I like to read at the beach sometimes and the book I'm currently reading is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.


So if you were wondering what was in my little pouch from no 9. above, then here it is. But first, how cute is the little Totoro pouch!!!

Okay, so I like to keep some bandaids in there just in case I get hurt or someone I'm with gets hurt. I also keep hand sanitiser, lip balm and mints. And lastly, I bring a bottle of my current toner - right now, it's Lush's breath of fresh air toner water. This helps me freshen up if I'm going somewhere later on.


And here is a picture of my watermelon towel in all its unfolded glory. IT'S INCREDIBLE.

Anyways, that is all that I bring to the beach with me. Hope you enjoyed reading this post.

Love, Liz

xoxo
