I mean who doesn’t love the beach? It’s fun, energizing and relaxing at the same time.
Whether you like to hit the surf, run in soft sand, take a romantic stroll or just like to get a tan - the beach offers it all. The moment your toes sink into the sand, your mood should automatically switch over to vacation mode; chill, happy and relaxed. Take a deep breath and leave all your worries behind.
Soak up the sun
Spending a day on the beach can not only be soothing to your soul but it can also be beneficial to your health. While you’re listening to the sound of the waves or your favorite beat - your vitamin D tank is getting filled. That means you could skip the dosage of the “sunshine pill” for that day. Did you know that a big percentage of the US population is low in vitamin D? No need to get into details about the importance of vitamin D - let’s just say it’s essential to good health :)
High zinc oxide sunscreen
Before you snooze off into dream land, make sure to put on some sunscreen (preferable with a high zinc oxide ingredient, our fav is EltaMD's UV Lotion). Just because the sun doesn’t feel hot, doesn’t mean that your skin is not getting fried! The ocean breeze makes it easy to overlook this, but the sunburned lobster look is definitely not a good look…
Stay hydrated
With that said, make sure you hydrate yourself with lots of fluids. How about some cold water with fresh lemon and mint? A hydrating coconut water is also a great choice to get electrolytes back. Of course cold watermelon slices are a great thirst quencher and always hit the spot on a hot day! (Have you ever tried the dried Watermelon Jerky from Trader Joe’s? OMG, so yummy)
Arrive in style
To make your new tan stand out more, we recommend to pick a cute shoulder bag with a summer color. Our X-over sling bag “HAWAIIAN SPIRIT” not only has the matching name for it but also reflects the vacation vibe. And we figured everybody can use a little pink in their life :)
The medium size crossbody bag fits a towel, hat, drinks, snacks, a good beach read and a wet suit bag for your swimsuit. The bags in sizes M and L also come with an additional strap for the 3-point carrying system. That means that it doesn’t move on your back and it takes weight off your shoulders. For more info about our various carrying-system check out this video.
Last but not least
Leave your valuables in the car and please leave only footprints behind!
See you at the beach!
