Nothing can make your summer more stress-free and relaxing like a well stocked beach bag. I have found some beach bag essentials that will make your vacations or stay-cations so much easier. These are not only things that will make your visit to the beach much more enjoyable but also your trips to the pool. I’m not even going to list things like swimsuits, flip flops, or sunglasses because you will probably already be wearing those things. Here are my top 10 beach bag essentials that you may want to pack.

As someone who is very pale, I know a thing or two about how to protect your face from the sun. When I was around 10, I was told by a doctor that if I wore sunscreen and stayed out of the sun that I would look a lot younger then my age. At the time I didn’t really want to look younger but now, at the age of 31, I am so glad that I listened to that doctor. Just the other day I was told how young I look for my age. I know that it was due to protecting myself from the sun’s rays. Here are my best tips to protect your face from the sun and prevent damage and wrinkles.

Get Your Feet Summer Ready

I don’t know about you, but in the summer I pretty much live in flip flops and sandals. It is probably my favorite thing about the warm weather. The winter months can be really harsh on my feet so when I am ready to get out the sandals, I really need to give my feet some TLC. Here are some tips to help get your feet summer ready.

Get Your Feet Summer Ready

I am not one of those people who gets a pedicure every couple of weeks. I really just don’t have the time or the money to do that. I give myself pedicures at home, mostly during my daughter’s nap time. The first thing you want to do is to soak your feet in a warm bath. This helps make the skin softer and it will be a lot easier for you to buff and remove dead skin.

With vacations coming up and the pools starting to open, I thought it would be a good time to talk about sunscreen. As you know, I’m a natural Ginger which means I am super pale! I know my sunscreen. I have to use a ton of it during the spring and summer months. Now that I have a daughter, I have been doing some research on the best drugstore sunblock for babies and kids.

Doing some research online, with Consumer Reports, by asking my doctor, and just my personal opinion,  I have come up with a list of some of the best sunblock you can get for your kids from the drugstores. I prefer to get my sunblock from the drugstore because it is convenient and less expensive then purchasing online or from specialty stores. I want something that is going to be safe on my baby’s skin but is also effective in protecting her from the sun.
