What's in my... Toiletry Roll

I would just like to let you all know that I am packing for a twelve day trip, so for some of you this might not be enough, for some it may be to much. It all depends on personal preference and this is what I have found works for me! I would also like you to know that we are going to be driving everywhere on this vacation, so to an extent I don't have to worry about how much I pack or the sizes of my products. This is my Toiletry Roll that I hang on the back of the door in the bathroom wherever we are staying. I am going to go through pocket by pocket and show you what I am bringing. In the Top Pocket I have mostly random things. I have Band-aids for small cuts and blisters Q-Tips Safety Pins, in case a strap breaks or something And the brown thing on the left side is a bra clip for razor back tank tops In the Second Pocket I have skincare things Hawaiian Tropic Clear Sense Sunscreen SPF 4 Travel pack of equate Makeup Remover Wipes And in...

Beach Bags

Ok so new update on how to pack a beach bag. But Warning before hand! The way my family packs for the beach it takes three regular sized people and a seven year old to carr y! I'm going to beak this down into the separate bags that we carry. My Bag My personal Sunscreen, such as your facial sunscreen. This would also be the category for tanning lotions and oils. Two towels. One to lay on or put in your chair, and one to wrap up in or wipe out your eyes. My beach mat! It is straw with pink edges it rolls up perfectly and fits in my bag. I got mine at Target but IDK if they still sell them or not, try www.windycitynovelties.com/straw-beach-mats Plastic Bags or Sandwich bags to put pretty seashells in! A Book or a Magazine, or both! The Christy Miller Series , like I've suggested at the bottom of the page, by Robin Jones Gunn is a good beach read mainly because they take place on a beach! A Camera, this is my absolute best friend...

Best Beach Ever!

So... I am debating on if I should even share this with you because it is so amazing! This is the most absolutely amazing beach I have ever been to in my life! It is Emerald Isle NC it is perfect! So in my mind it is so perfect because: It is on the beautiful coast of North Carolina (which is where I live, and where I love!) It's name is Emerald ISLE so its on a cute little island (Duh!), at some places o the island you can see the Bogue Sound (yes this is a body of water, and yes this is a real place) and the Atlantic Ocean on the other It is a quite little town so everyone if friendly, and the beaches are never crowded There is a nice little aquarium just up the island a bit The is a little shopping center called Emerald Plantations that includes a movie theater , restaurants, shops, and a river where you can feed Sea Turtles (this is especially fun because there's one that is bigger than my six year old brother! It lives at the bottom and only comes up occasiona...
