Beach Break!

 

1. Beach bag from the Gap 2. Stephen King's "11/23/63" 3. Hawaiian Tropic Tanning Cream Lotion 4. Thrift store sunnies 5. Home-made beach waves spray 6. Chapstick in Cherry 7.Forever 21 beach cover up 8. Old Navy beach towel 9. My shell and rock collection.

Today I thought I'd give you all a peek at what I carry when I hit the sand. The most important items are definitely my sunnies, tanning lotion, chapstick and a good book. My current read is this Stephen King novel about a man who goes back in time to try and save JFK from being assassinated. It's awesome. That little collection of shells and stones are what I have found during my walks along the edge of the water. I keep them all in my beach bag until the end of the season and then I usually make something pretty with them for a room decoration. What are your must-have beach items?

PS. Here's the recipe for my home-made beach waves spray:

INGREDIENTS:
1 Cup WARM water
3 Tablespoons Sea Salt
1 Tablespoon Gel or Spray Gel
1/2 Tablespoon Conditioner (or leave-in)
A couple spritzes of your favorite perfume

DIRECTIONS:
Mix Warm water and salt first and shake well.
Add the rest of the ingredients.
Spray your hair generously and scrunch.

Beachy Accessories

 

Well today's post is going to be short, sweet and let's be honest here, half-assed. I apologize I'm just running low on time today. I leave you with my collection of beach related accessories that have come from my recent polyvore collages. I hope you enjoy them and have a good weekend! I'm off to work!
