Life is a Beach

Saturday June 21^st was the Summer Solstice, the first day of summer 2014 and also the longest day of the year. Well, many people can argue both theories but we are going to look past that and focus on this fun blog J. I took full advantage of the long hours and spent the day at Virginia Beach with my siblings and cousins. It was definitely a great get together but unfortunately we weren’t lucky enough to get much sun that day. It was warm but very cloudy all day which made the water even colder. But overall, it was a great day to lay out in the sand, enjoy the sound of the waves and the gorgeous summer weather.

Below are my top 5 essential items for the beach this summer – Please don’t hesitate to share yours below J. Thank You for reading!!

BB Cream – I absolutely love my All-In-One BBCream from the Body Shop. It’s perfect for a day at the beach when you don’t want to wear heavy makeup but want something light on your face to cover any red spots. This one especially is perfect for people with dry skin as it provides 24 hour hydration and also transforms from a white cream to suit your skin tone. I would definitely recommend it.  

Sun Screen – I feel like all sun screens out there get the job done but just make sure you put some on. I always use this NeutrogenaSFP 55+ in the summer time. It blends well and doesn’t make your skin oily after. And remember to reapply after you’ve been in the water for more than an hour!! J

Sunnies - Beach is just not the same without your favorite Sunnies! Don’t forget to rock your favorites this summer J My all time favorite are my classic Ray Bans Aviators.

Bikini – A modeista gots to have a cute bikini. I got this from VS last summer and absolutely love the color and the stripes J Wish I had a better picture but you get the idea :) 

Tote Bag – A tote bag for the beach is a must. You gotta be able to carry your essentials wherever you go so make sure you have stylish bag on your shoulders J
