Beach Trip Necessities

I love the beach. I am a beach bum whenever I get the chance.

Everyone knows the basics to take the beach by now (swimsuit, sunscreen, towel, food/drinks).

On my recent trip a few days ago I took a few little extras that I thought I would share.

1. iHome IHM79 Rechargeable Mini Speaker, Black $49.99. These awesome little speakers are available here. These are great to play your summer playlist. I used them all weekend, and they are easy to plug into your phone or iPod. 

2. A good insulated cup with a lid. You want to keep that drink as cool as possible while out in the sun and keep the sand out too. You can usually pick these up in grocery store near any beach or you can find some fun ones on Amazon or Tervis.

3. Last but not least, an umbrella. For those of you who are a little more cautious of the sun (me) this is really important. Sometimes I really need to just get a break from the sun and this will help. You can take a nap under the shade and keep your items together and cool. Pro Performance Super Brella Beach Umbrella $49.99 is available at Bed Bath & Beyond. It's kind of like a little tent, check them out! Totally worth the price tag!
