My Top Beach Essentials
Here are my favorite items from May 2018 just in time for Summer! My top beach essentials are beach towels, sunscreen and a to-go cup. These are my favorite items for the month and really all you need to have a great time at the beach.
Los Angeles weather has been quite terrible this Spring but when you get a day of 75 degrees and partly cloudy, you hit the beach! I took my top beach essentials, a super fun and colorful towel from @loveminxny and my Amavara sunscreen to the beach and let’s not forget a drink cup for some extra fun😏😉
Sand Free & Portable Towel
MinxNY is a super cute and ultra portable beach towel that is anti-sand. How? It is made out of 100% microdenier fabric that allows you to shake off the sand very easily at the end of your beach trip even. Even when it’s wet! The microdenier is also anti-bacterial and makes the towel so easy to pack and it has a handy strap to help with folding. The best part? It has a very useful zippered storage pocket for phones, jewelry, portable chargers and everything in between making it a top beach essential. Visit their site to view the various prints and options they carry. If you happen to purchase their items make sure to tag them on their IG @loveminxny & use hashtags #loveminxn #minxny for a chance to be featured!

Sunscreen is The Key
Sunscreen is the top secret to maintaining youthful and healthy skin making my top beach essentials list. Amavara skincare has this wonderful transparent mineral sunscreen that is UVA/UVB and comes in SPF30 and 50 that works wonders. I am on the medium tan/dark tan side of the spectrum and my skin tends to tan extremely easily but what many don’t know is that dark skin can also burn. Making sure you have UVA/UVB minimum SPF 30 is essential! The reason Amavara’s sunscreen is so great is partly due to how it is naturally sourced with 100% non-nano zinc oxide (19%) is the only active sunscreen ingredient. Did I mention its paraben-free, vegan* and cruelty-free? BOOM!

Why Complain When You Can Wine?
Who says you can’t drink wine on the go? Turns out GoVerre has the answer to it all and thanks to their appearance in SharkTank, we have the cutest portable wine cups ever! It made my top beach essentials because *looks around* who doesn’t drink at the beach😅 I have always enjoyed a glass of wine but it is very hard to take a glass to the beach and let’s face i, wine doesn’t taste the same out of a plastic cup. I really enjoyed the portability of GoVerre’s wine glass, silicone sleeve and the drink through lid. I could totally drink in public without exposing my drink to the tricky sand that gets everywhere. Confession, I also took this to Las Vegas the earlier in the month and all my friends loved that we had a to-go cup and didn’t have to buy drinks anywhere😜
