Packing for the beach

I'm going to the beach today for a quick two day getaway before my internship starts. I don't think I'll be getting much off time or I'm trying to not get off time so this will be my last hurrah before my 4th of July break and then until the end of August. It will be busy, but I think I am going to love it.

While I was getting together things for my trip I remembered that I do in fact burn quite easily and that for this beach trip I was going to try my hardest to protect my skin. Here are some of the essentials I packed:

- hat - I have this straw hat and a baseball hat at the ready.

- towel - duh essential #1.

- lotion with aloe vera - this will help after being out in the sun for a long time.

- sunglasses - duh essential #2.

- sunscreen with 50+ SPF. I found this with a coupon attached to it at Target so I said, "Why not?" This type is good because it is sweat-proof. Lawd knows I sweat a lot. 

- lip balm with SPF - your lips need protection too. I also got this with a coupon. 

- hair tie - my hair will get crazy.

- water bottle - gotta stay hydrated. I got this mason jar style water bottle at Wal Mart. It's huge, will keep me hydrated.

I didn't picture a book but I will be bringing something to read as well. I should also mention that something like a soccer ball or a frisbee would also be essential. 

Really, you can bring whatever you want! Be true to yourself!!!!! 

^ I'm not really sure

Until tomorrow,
