Cute Bathing Suit
Of course, you can’t hit the beach without a cute bathing suit! This one pictured is from Victoria’s Secret! I love the color and the scalloped edges. Super cute!
A Good Book
Most of my time at the beach is spent in a lounge chair reading a good book. When I went to Cancun in January I ended up reading three books in my week there. There’s no better place to read!
A Card Game
For when my eyes get tired of reading! Skip-Bo is one of my favorite card games to play at the pool or the beach. You can play with just two people or a small group and it’s so much fun!
Headphones
Sometimes I like to take a break and relax while listening to my favorite music! What are your favorite songs to listen to at the beach?
Sunblock
This one is a MUST for me because I have such fair skin. Sunscreen is so important whenever you’re outside at the beach. Even if it’s cloudy you can still get sunburnt!
Slip Ons or Sandals
I love these green espadrilles from Sakroots! The pattern inside is “Spirit Desert” which supports Wild at Heart. “Wild At Heart is dedicated to the conservation and preservation of Arizona’s native birds of prey through the rescue, rehabilitation, relocation and release of owls, hawks, falcons and the occasional eagle.”
An Adorable Beach Bag to Put It All In!
When I received this beach bag from Sakroots I was in love! It’s spacious and waterproof and absolutely perfect for days at the beach. I can fit everything listed here plus a towel or two (probably even more)! If you’re in the market for a spacious and awesome beach bag you have to check out Sakroots‘ selection. The pattern I chose is called Aqua Water Nation and the charity it benefits is the Whale and Dolphin Conservation (formerly WDCS) which is “the leading global charity dedicated to the conservation and protection of whales and dolphins”.
Make sure you’re following me on Instagram because I’ll be posting a Sakroots giveaway sometime this week! You’ll be able to win a large cosmetic bag so you don’t want to miss it. AND if you’re interested, be sure to sign up for Sakroots’ mailing list and get 15% off your purchase!
Thank you to Sakroots for sponsoring today’s post!

I always love a good book on the beach!
That bag is so cute! I love throwing all of my stuff in to a cute bag and heading for the beach, or pool!
My friend introduced me to Skip-Bo a few months ago, and I really need to get my own deck of cards! It’s so addicting.
