Keep that healthy summer glow going with the beach essentials.
Wander & Perch chic wet swimsuit bags:
Until now we’ve been stowing our wet bikini in a plastic bag. Ewww!
But now that we’ve discovered this stylish and practical alternative from Wander & Perch everything stays dry and hygienic. ( $44.)
These are so cute that we’ve also been using them as a minimalist makeup bag (for those backyard BBQs right after the beach.) And we upgraded our husband to a ‘Nomad” style, which he loves.Your only problem is deciding which style to get (or do like us and get two.)
We have the compact tiny Drop It bottles not just in our beach bag, but all our purses as well. Completely natural, Drop It is the only all-natural product on the market that reduces both Tannins and Sulfites in wine. So go ahead and have that chilled glass of Chardonnay at the beach with your besties, without worrying about a wine headache. ($20.)
And if beach beers are your thing, the brand is coming out with Drops for Hops. Brilliant!
Wine Stoppers:
Speaking of vino, (notice a theme here? ) make sure you bring a stopper — on the unlikely chance you don’t finish that bottle of wine. We like these silicone ones from Amazon which are reusable and inexpensive (5 for seven bucks.)
ClimateCase Insulating Cell Phone:
With climate change ramping up the temperatures around the globe, you now have to think about protecting your phone at the beach. Just putting it in the shade isn’t enough. This neoprene smartphone case has a handy exterior slip pocket for cash and a carabiner clips onto your beach tote. $30 at Amazon.
