At first glance the lemons didn’t do it for me, until I put on this bright and adorable bathing suit. It compliments any body (even over 50) and is very comfortable.

My Faves for the beach??? Floating Sunglasses with an Anti-Salt Coating and Polarized Protection, called Float₂O! I love this so much, last week I was in the pool. I went down the slide and my sunglasses flew off and sank, this will no longer happen with my Blenders!
In case you’re not Clear at how awesome Kelly Wynne’s bags are, let’s go over my new favorite beach bag. It’s big enough to carry everything I need, the clear outside material is water-proof so I’m not worried about sitting this in the sand nor what goes in the bag. The large patent leather pouch inside the bag will keep all my valuables safe. Lastly, the style is very trendy and I’m often asked about it when I’m out!
Another summer favorite brand. Jen and Thayer are the two women behind Carve Designs. I don’t know them but I know we are definitely like-minded. They love an adventure and have a love for surfing, they are truly Salty & Stylish! push the boundaries of outdoor apparel and prove that functional can be fashionable and well-fitting. The clothes are designed to be as inspirational and versatile as the women who wear them.
Kids need trendy and stylish glasses too! Jonas Paul Eyewear sell sunglasses, blue light glasses, and prescription glasses for kids and teens stylish yet affordable. They don’t just have one pair but many styles for the kids to pick from. Kids are online from an early age and we already know that we should be blocking the blue light. You can find kids and teens glasses that they will want to wear
When it comes to the heat, especially at vacation destinations, it’s crucial to tackle an impending sunburn headfirst. Aside from the usual sunscreen and sunglasses, pack a stylish, sun-protective Wallaroo hat to your suitcase to help stay cool and protected!
Specializing in UPF-protective headwear, Wallaroo Hats received the Skin Cancer Foundation’s seal of recommendation for adequate sun protection, meaning each style has a UPF rating of at least 30+ and a minimum brim width of three inches. This protects skin from 96-97.5% of the sun’s harmful rays, ideal for hot days spent outdoors.

Shark Repellent That Works! All I’m going to see is if you see me on the beach (or a photo) you will see The Shark Off on my ankle. I have since got one for my husband and all my grandchildren. I have never been afraid of sharks but I did avoid swimming at dusk or dawn. Now I don’t think about it, I’m in control of when I go into the ocean! Seriously, go to the site and watch the video!
You know sharks have superpowers, right? You’ve heard they can smell blood in the water from far away. It’s true. While there are very few shark attacks on humans, fear genuinely impacts your beach experience.
