Is Your Summer 2018 Pool/Beach Bag Ready?
Ciao bella,
 |
David is getting ready to open our Pool Side Cabana. The piles for "fun in the sun" necessities are taking over our apartment! This year we also invested in a mini air conditioner in a 1960s mint green! The shower/changing room can get a bit warm. Oh, the comforts of home!
I'm getting my pool bag ready. Now there are so many fabulous bags to choose from that I found it hard to pick one. I think I'll go with an old standby. Plenty of inside pockets with one on the outside.
So, what you take inside is very important for a relaxed and safe day:
1) Sunscreen — start off with an SPF 30 and limit exposure, re-apply after swimming, follow manufacturer's instructions carefully.
2) Water — stay hydrated throughout the day. Pop a water bottle in the freezer so it will stay cold for a longer time at your sun spot.
3) Hat — good protection from sun rays and makes a fashion statement. I also wear a turban to protect my locks.
4) Sunglasses — eyes are important to take care of while in the sun. In fact the sun is strongest in summer months. Pick out a few fun pairs and show them off!
5) Lip Sunscreen — before you hit outdoors, exfoliate your pout, apply lip color, then sunscreen for lips.
6) Cover-up — when you’ve had enough sun, use a nice opaque cover-up.
7) Mat/Towel — absorbs sweat and wet bathing suits.
8) Brush/Comb — for your hair to refresh the do!
9) Insect Repellant — it's not necessary at the pool ... in fact I’ve yet to see a mosquito at the pool! However, the beach is another story ... so for you Beach Bums to keep clear of green flies, and no-seeums, don't forget your Deet! (Safe to use) 10) Pack of tissues/handkerchief/wet ones — to freshen up!
So my Glamazons that’s the list for this year. See you at the water.
Buona Giornata and God Bless the USA!
