Summer Survival Kit

Quick Tip

You have one beach bag that goes everywhere with you. According to my last survey, here is what should be in that bag.

  • Your favorite deodorant... just in case. You just never know when yours will break down.

  • Sunscreen so that it is available whenever you need it. And be sure that you use plenty. Taht means a teaspoon for the face and a tablespoon for each arm and leg. Don't forget the ears and top of feet.

  • Bandana or a hat if space allows, to cover your hair from the blazing sun.

  • A granola bar for obvious reasons.

  • Cell phone for emergencies or otherwise.

  • A novel or a current magazine. You probably have several at home, so take it with you instead of spending more money simply because you forgot to pack some reading material.

  • One trendy pair of sunglasses and be sure that they provide adequate protection against the summer rays.

  • One scrunchy if you hair is long and the day uncomfortably hot. Nothing feels nicer than pulling it up and allowing the breeze to cool you down.

    Now go and have fun!
