Welcome/Welcome back friends,

It’s another edition of “What’s in my Bag?” And we are focusing on my every day purse. The past couple WIMB posts have been for vacations and trips but this one is dedicated to my every day bag that I grab and go. Occasionally, I change out the bag and carry it around for months or so and this is my current every day bag. It’s a leather quilted Vera Bradley handbag and it’s one of my favorites I own. So, let’s get to it:

  1. Impression LED Compact Mirror
  2. Crayola Washable Pens
  3. Midol Complete (for Menstrual Cramps)
  4. Tums Antacid Chew-able Tablets
  5. NYX Slip Tease in “I Woke Up Like This”

Hey y’all!

I’m jumping on here to share with you all my necessities for my beach trip this past week. So I figured it was time for another “What’s in my Bag?” and give it a beachy vibe. Without further ado, let’s get into it!

Contents:

Bag: ***This bag is a Vera Bradley Factory Outlet Beach Bag and is supposed to be only sold in stores. I did find the bag on Amazon and linked it below. It’s included with a Ditty Bag though and is a lot more expensive then priced at the outlet store. I’ll link a few other cute beach bags below that look similar but are cheaper.***

Beach Towel: I’ll feature a photo of it spread a little more below for you to see what it looks like. I loved this because it’s pretty gender neutral for me or my boyfriend to use. I loved it for an instagram worthy caption saying my boyfriend was my “main squeeze.” Just a super cute and fun way to spice up your insta feed or even your pool look.

Waterproof iPhone Case: This case is great for not only beach days but pool days too! You can take underwater photos and not have to worry about breaking your phone from getting it wet.

Sunscreen: I have two featured below for your body. I like the spray kind because they are so much easier to apply BUT you have to make sure you still rub it in. My boyfriend and I learned the hard way on that. 😂

Scrunchie: This scrunchie was a super easy and cute way to spice up my bathing suit look. There is only so much you can add to a bathing suit that isn’t going to give you weird tan lines. That’s why I loved adding this cute and simple accessory to my beach look.

Sandals: These Sandals are the best I’ve bought in a while. They were only twenty dollars and can dress an outfit up AND down! I highly suggest these to anybody that need a new cute pair of caramel colored sandals.

Beach Blanket: The circular beach blanket is all the rage right now and I’m totally here for it. I adore this colorful and fun blanket from target I got before I left on my trip. I foresee a lot of uses out of this blanket this summer.

Sunglasses: These Mirrored Sunglasses are my new favorite style! Check out these adorable and super affordable classes from Sojos on Amazon. And yes fam, they offer prime! 🙌🏼

“Daydreaming” Beach Hat: I received this hat as a gift and I absolutely love it! It’s so fun and I adore the sweet captions on beach hats. I’ll link the one I have featured in the photo above but it’s unfortunately out of stock right now. It has a “notify when available” button that you can fill out if super interested. I’ll also feature a few of my favorites featured on amazon for a great price too.

Spray bottle: This is great for those super hot beach days when you’re laying out and trying to get your tan on. Just fill it up with some bottled water (preferably cold) and dose yourself when you’re starting to over heat. Simple as that!

Sparkling Water: If you haven’t gotten into the whole sparkling water kick then this is where you need to start! Bubly features a delicious strawberry flavored sparkling water and it reminds me of a strawberry lollipop. So yummy and especially refreshing during a hot summer day on the beach.

Reading Material: Okay, so you may not see a book featured in the photo above but I loved reading on the beach. I use my iPad but anyway to kick back and read on the beach works for me. I’ll link my most recent book I started reading below.

Snacks: Gotta pack snacks for those long and relaxing beach days. My favorite snack I packed this past beach trip was the Safe and Fair Birthday Cake Granola. It’s such an easy to snack on treat and sooooo yummy! The best part about it? It’s Top 8 Allergen Free, Gluten Free, Certified Vegan, Non GMO, and more! Plus you can grab some great coupon codes online and get this product for a great price and with free shipping!

Water Bottle: Keep Hydrated, especially on the beach! I loved this fun summer themed water bottle to carry to the beach with me. The lid has a button to pop the straw up to drink easily. It’s also a great size that will probably last the whole beach day.

Alcoholic Beverages: If you’re 21+ and like to relax on the beach with a nice cold brew or spirit then we have something in common. My favorites for this past trip were IC Light Mango beer and Malibu with Diet Coke.

Cooler Bag: Well, we gotta keep those drinks we packed cooler somehow! I found this super cute Navy Flamingo Cooler Bag at Dollar General for only five dollars! Unfortunately, I couldn’t find it anywhere online to link it for you all. If you have a store in the area, I suggest taking a look because they have some cute summer themed insulated lunch bags. Below I’ll attach a link to a cute flamingo insulated lunch box from amazon that you may also like.

Portable Speaker: Music is a must on the beach! Below I have featured my speaker that I’ve had for years now and love. There are many great portable speakers out there though so use and buy whatever you want and prefer. I’ll link this one in case your interested in the one featured above. *I couldn’t find a reliable website that sold the pink speaker so I linked the white.*

Pool Floaty: Gotta have a cute Instagramable pool floaty to wrap up your beach must haves! Check out this adorable Lips pool floaty that I got from amazon.

I hope you all have found this edition of “What’s in my Bag?” helpful for your upcoming beach trip! Comment below and let me know what you HAVE to take with you to the beach.

Go-To Tuesday

Who else is a Popsocket junkie!? I have to say that when they first came out, I thought they were stupid. Not as stupid as the selfie stick but pretty stupid. But once I received one for Christmas, I figured I’d give it a try. Well let me tell you, I’ve been hooked ever since! Having a Popsocket has made my texting, selfies, car mounting, and more a million times easier. Which is why I had to get on here and share with you all my Go-To Popsocket! My absolute favorite Popsocket I have owned is from the original Popsocket brand and it’s called “Sparkle Snow White”. It has an iridescent Glitter on it and makes for a perfect accessory to my holographic phone case from Milkyway. My only complaint about it is that they Glitter does fall off eventually. Regardless, this brand has a ton of super cute options and you can find a good amount of them on Amazon with prime. I linked the photo above to the specific Sparkle Snow White Popsocket on the official site. If you drop your phone a lot or your hand gets tired frequently from holding you phone, especially if it’s a Plus, check out getting a Popsocket. You won’t regret it!

Welcome back all,

Today I’m bringing you some of my recent spring finds that I’ve been posting about on my Instagram stories and feed. I’ve been buying pieces here and there from different stores and couldn’t do a specific haul for you all, so I thought why not just combine them all for a recent Spring haul? So here we go friends:

Blue Light Blocking Glasses – About a few weeks ago I shared these glasses with you all on my Instagram stories and mentioned how these are supposed to protect my eyes from the blue light coming from our phones, tablets, etc. so far I’ve been using these almost every night I’m home while I lay in bed with my different electronic devices. I have to be honest, I don’t feel a huge difference BUT I can say that I feel like I get a better night’s sleep. Whether that’s psychological or the glasses are actually working, I’m totally okay with. Who could complain about getting good sleep? Haha

Dunkin Donut’s PEEPS Marshmellow Flavored Coffee – So I have to start and say that I don’t have a link for this new flavored coffee because it can only be purchased at Dunkin Donuts. What I can tell you is that this flavor is surprisingly good. I’m not a PEEPS fan at all but this coffee taste very good. If you were on the fence about giving it a try, I’d say go for it. It has more of a vanilla flavor than anything else. So, go for it PEEPS! 😉

Crystal Sandals– I just received these shoes yesterday so I couldn’t feature them in the photos but you HAVE to click the link and check these out. They come in 3 different colors and the sandals are stunning! 😍 I’m so excited to pair these with a cute spring dress and wear them out and about.

American Eagle Shorts from TJ-Maxx- Unfortunately, I couldn’t find these shorts online anywhere but let me tell you all about it. These shorts are a STEAL! Super comfy, cute, can be dressed up, and only $6!!! They had multiple different styles and patterns of these $6 shorts and I am living for them. I’m all about looking cute and feeling comfy, so if you are too these shorts are for you.

Pacifica Face Sunscreen and Travel Size Hawaiian Tropic’s Sun Tan Lotion – If you followed my post from a few weeks ago “What’s in my Bag? -Disney Edition” you will notice that I already mentioned these sunscreens before. Well I wanted to get on here and share with you all that I found both of them at TJ-Maxx for $2.99-$3.99. So if you’ve been looking for them, check out your local TJ-Maxx in the Beauty Aisles.

And that’s all folks, if you have any questions about any of these purchases don’t hesitate to leave a comment. I’ll make sure to get back to you ASAP. What your most recent Spring purchase?

Welcome back friends,

I’m so excited to share with you all that in just one week I’ll be at the Happiest Place on Earth, Walt Disney World! It’s truly one of my favorite places to be and I can’t wait to be back. I thought while I was packing it would be fun to share with your guys my must haves that I pack for park days. Below I have listed and linked the items I never leave behind when I go to any amusement park. Here they are:

  1. iPhone Fan
  2. Portable Phone Charger (This is not the same one that I own, but I thought this was incredibly cute and on sale for a great price.)
  3. Face Sunblock (Amazing sunblock, especially underneath your makeup. Highly recommend this for anyone in need of a skin protector.)
  4. Sunblock & After Sun Lotion (If you noticed in my picture featured above, I have a travel sized bottle of each of these but couldn’t find a link to them online. Instead I featured the full bottles products. What I like to do is if they don’t have a travel sized product that is a favorite of mine, I purchase those travel sized TSA approved bottles and fill those up with the desired product.)
  5. Friction Defense (No shame, I gotta protect these thicker thighs of mine and use this stick to avoid getting blisters. If you like wearing shorts in warm weather but have problems with your thighs rubbing, try out this stick. It’s a life saver and keeps you pain free during your vacay!)
  6. Instax Mini 70 & Film
  7. Umbrella (I own a Vera Bradley one and have had it for 7 years now. It’s a great umbrella and still in quality shape. I linked an umbrella by Vera Bradley, just with a different pattern since mine is discontinued.)
  8. Hand Sanitizer
  9. LED Compact Mirror
  10. Lip Balm
  11. Sunglasses Case (I used to always end up with broken sunglasses at the end of vacations but no more with a sunglasses case. The one I have featured about is a Disney one but I linked a super cute one from Quay Australia that I think you guys will love.)
  12. Sunglasses (I didn’t link mine featured above because they are from last year but I purchased them from Charming Charlie’s.)
  13. Travel sized perfume (I linked the one featured in my photo above.)
  14. Tums Travel Size (Just in case you get a stomach ache, these are amazing to take care of you so you can enjoy your vacation. Usually when I drink a sugary alcoholic drink, my stomach starts to hurt a little, so I just pop one of these in and they make me instantly feel better.)

I usually try to only keep the essentials in my bag only because my back starts to hurt if I carry too much around. Hope this post helps you all out in your future trips. I plan on doing more “What’s in my Bag?” soon, so make sure you stay tuned!
