Aloha friends! If I didn’t already mention it a few hundred times, I am vacationing with my family in Hawaii this week. I thought it would be fun to do a quick “What’s in my Beach Bag” post.
Before I left, I realized my old mommy beach bags just wouldn’t cut it anymore. I quickly picked up this great Scout Weekender Bag at a local store and filled it up with a few of my Beachy must haves. They come in lots of bright fun colors with a zip top and they are water resistant. Love!
I am planning on lots of active water sports and don’t want to worry about losing my top. This Athleta 2 piece should take me through some SUP and snorkeling.
I’m obsessed with my pink Gizeh Birkenstocks. They are so comfy and give me the support I need in my arches. I am so done with Plantar Fasciitus!
I picked up these Prada Linea Rossa mirrored glasses at an outlet a few months ago-Score! I love them.
Bringing along my new smart “water tracker” designed by my friend Diatta (Femme fitale fitness club). Got to stay hydrated. Check out her site to order one for yourself.
I am the first to admit I am not as good about sunscreen as I should be. I am really liking this SuperGoop for face and body. I don’t like to feel sticky while exercising and so far these work great!
I threw in this MRTT visor in case I want to use it while doing some sports. Spreading the MRTT love 24/7 🙂
Hoping to get through a couple of Beachy novels this week too! Everyone seems to be all about these 2 books and I am excited to dig into them. I don’t know about you but I much prefer a real book over an E Book at the beach. I loved Judy Blume growing up & have heard great things about her book. Primates of Park Avenue just looks fun & silly. Which one to read first? Decisions, decisions.
Love the lip gloss and you never know when a great “selfie” moment might pop up and I like to be prepared. Every great blogger carries a “selfie stick” right?
Looking forward to lots of relaxing and hanging out with the family to enjoy the beautiful sights. Stay tuned for lots of pics here and on my instagram.

Any travel plans this summer? What’s in your Beach Bag?
Linking up with Nicole
Aloha and have a wonderful time friend!! I love my Gizeh Birkenstocks too, but I love the pink!! ooh, I think I may have to order those… 🙂
The Judy Blume book looks great! Enjoy Hawaii!!!
I love the Birks too never thought I would. Thanks jet lag
I can’t comment on your blog for some reason
Wow, Hawaii! I need an Athleta bathing suit…I’ve never seen that SuperGoop before! Will have to check it out!
Yea we just got here super excited! I will be testing out the suit later
SOOOO jealous. Have an amazing trip! Bring me back some sunshine and warmth 😀
I sure will! Although those Chicago summers are like DC simmers right?
Great packing list. My husband thought it was funny when I bought a selfie stick – those can be useful! I am so excited for your vacation. Hopefully the flight is too awful. San Francisco back to Philly was hard enough for me. I’ve done overseas but usually for work where I get business class and much more space.
Selfie sticks are a must! The upgrade does help but I am on a 7 hour time difference
Aloha!!!
Great picks for the beach bag!
Thanks! First day off to yoga on the beach
The water bottle is a MUST and NEED those sunglasses! So pretty! 😉
Have a fantastic time in Hawaii. I have never heard of those two books. Always looking for a great summer read.
You’ve got the coolest beach bag, ever!! Love the bathing suit. And cute shades! Hope you have a wonderful time, and hope we get to see lots of pics!
ooo love the swim suit and the sunnies! Have a great time in Hawaii!
Thanks so much so far so good!
Have an awesome time!!
That tote looks perfect!
I need a fun and relaxed book for the summer-the ones I am reading now are a bit heavy and I might have to put them on hold.
I will be stalking your IG and living vicariously through you ;).
Have fun!
Deb, your toes look amazing! I love it, you got a selfie stick! OMG, so jealous of both. We are heading to Lake Tahoe after my half marathon and I can’t wait. Okay Maui would be so much more amazing, but that was last summer and just could not afford that again LOL
Safe travels 🙂
Ooh… I’ve got to get a waterproof beach bag. I hadn’t even thought about that 🙂 Thankfully I’m not going on my beach vacation until September so I’ve got time for shopping before then. I hope you’re having a great time in Hawaii!
My clan is always hungry. So my beach bag has lots of snacks in it. And a towel, if for no other purpose than cleaning off the salty sunglasses! Enjoy your trip! We hope to get there one day!
Ah yes I don’t have to carry snacks for the kids anymore! Thanks!
Sunblock = mandatory!! Definitely put that on if you’re going to be out and about in the water. I love your Birkenstocks, too – they’ve definitely come back into style this season. Enjoy your trip, and take some time off! You deserve a little break.
Thanks! Yup I’ve got my sunscreen trying to be better with that!
My beach bag is definitely not as cute as yours:)
I do carry sunblock, but is it terrible that I have both SPF 4 and SPF 30, the 4 for when I want a deep dark tan, the other when I just want a very light tan.
Books are always a must in any bag for me! Oh and a hat, I hate to get any sun on my face or neck at all so hats are perfect, I do carry a bottle in a tan sunscreen for my face though:)
Oh yes and lipgloss with sunscreen a must!
I am so not a hat person but I aspire to be. It takes a certain personality
Nothing better than good comfy sandals in the summer! Love the color too!
Thanks they are great!
I love Hawaii! I hope you are having too much fun! That is a very chic bag!
Thanks I am!!
All my suits are from Athleta. I love that you can buy them as separates. And I just got those Birkenstock sandals. Love! Great minds think alike…
Have a fabulous trip!
yes I do love that you can mix and match them also bc I don’t wear the same size on the top and bottom.
You are beach ready ! Hands down athleta makes the best bikini tops! Only one that keeps the girls in place! Keep spraying on the supergoop! My favorite too! Funny my step mom sent the selfie stick last month for my birthday – she said I couldn’t be a real blogger without one- lol ! Have fun !
So true!! And yes the Athleta top was great for lap swimming
Deborah, this post made me feel like a kid in a candy shop!!! I am DYING to read that Judy Blume (thanks for reminding me it’s out) and I want a pair of Birks so bad. I need to get online shopping!!!! Reward for a busy week – I think so 🙂 Now, to find a beach!
Yes go reward yourself! I’ve been living in the Birkenstocks and really love them
What a cute bag! The water tracker bottle is genius 🙂
Thanks and I think it’s great too!
Hah! Sounds like you have everything you need for a great vacation!
Thanks! So far so good
This is so fun!! I love that you have a selfie stick in your beach bag!! I went to Boston with some friends and one of them was determined to find a selfie stick!! We finally found one!!
They are fun aren’t they!
Hope you are having a wonderful time and enjoying your family. I bought the same Athleta bottoms (with a different top). Can’t wait to wear them.
I am having a great time thanks! The Athleta bottoms were very comfy
Love the list especially the Athleta bikini. I so may order one for myself. Glad to see my water bottle made the cut.
The bikini was cute and held the girls in where they belong.
Although I’m still in my mommy beach bag phase, I love everything in your bag!
Thanks! I figured since my babies are almost adults I needed an upgrade 🙂
