What's in my... Beach Bag!

I would like to start out this post by saying, I don't understand those Beauty Gurus on YouTube who are like:
"I am bringing this hair gel, and this lipstick, and this foundation, and this 500 color eyeshadow pallet, and while I'm at it I might as well bring my blowdryer! There must be  plug-ins under all of that icky sand... Oh! And who could forget their floor length evening gown to just 'throw on' after a fabulous day at the beach!"

..........Seriously?
I love watching YouTube videos, but it is kind of ridiculous how much useless stuff they bring with them down to the Beach.
When I am going to the beach, I am packing the things that it takes to walk from my condo to the beach, and back. That's it. So I don't need a change of clothes or makeup to put on before we go out to eat. Because, more than likely, I am going to go back to the condo and shower before I go anywhere.
Maybe some of you will do that, but while reading this post just keep in mind, i don't.

So here is my beach bag, I am not exactly sure where it came from....

And here is what I keep in the Main Pocket

• My Sunglasses
• My Pink Straw Beach Mat, it rolls up into it's own little bag with handles, isn't that cute :)

• Magazine, I usually just grab one from my carry on/car bag (see that post here)
• Book, sometimes... depends on the day
• Beach Towel, I love my Flip-Flops one!

• Makeup Bag, and I use that word lightly ;)

Here is my Makeup Bag 
Notice, there is no makeup in my makeup bag ;)

• Bobbie Pins, You will begin to notice that I have these things ev-er-y-where
• Hairbows, in case the one I'm wearing breaks
• Headbands, in case the bobby pins just aren't cutting it
• Bert's Bees Lifeguard Chapstick, because your lips can burn too!
• Hand Sanitizer, dirty bathrooms, yucky sticky hands, you never know! It's just good to have around
• Camera, I keep it inside a sandwich bag, inside my makeup bag. I don't want to chance getting water or sand in it! It isn't in there right now because I am using it to take pictures :)
• Extra Batteries, for my camera, and stored with my camera.
• Phone... sometimes, I don't usually bring my phone down to the beach but once in a while I will, If I do I will put it in the sandwich bag with my Camera
• Sunscreen, like i have said before, you need it. No matter what you say, you do burn, and you do need it.

And just a few Random Things you might want to bring...

Beach Toys!! Because what is going to the beach if you don't have toys :)

And that is it!
