Beach Bag
I know summer is winding down, but I’m doing my part to keep summer going!
We have 36 days until fall and I’m hoping to enjoy them all. (Fall equinox is September 22, 2026 @ 8:04pm). Written August 18, 2026
Do you ever wonder what people bring on vacation?
Take a look in my beach bag as I share why appreciate some of the products.
When we were young, my friends and I would flip through magazines reading articles and finding new products.
Now, we scroll.
Happy I Had This on Vacation
I thought this would be a fun way to launch my curated Amazon Storefront, and I’m inviting you to explore items from my beach bag using my affiliate link.
NOW massage oil is excellent for nourishing skin that’s been dehydrated by the sun and elements.
Brazi Bronze is my favorite tanning oil. The ingredients are simple: Sweet almond oil, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Antioxidants, Urucum extract, and Carrot oil. Their bronzing oil is ultra-rich in beta carotene which helps your body produce melanin faster and tan quicker. It leaves your skin feeling healthy and moisturized. I recommend shopping directly on their site as I could not verify the products I found on Amazon.
Stream2Sea products are excellent for saving your hair from the elements, including UV, while also protecting the seas and marine life. I have very long thick hair, and this product kept it from becoming dry and damaged from the pool and ocean swims.
Cleanse More is a fan favorite around my house! It helps with gentle constipation relief, detoxification, and emptying the system so that you feel lighter. Take 1 for gentle support or take 2 for a cleanse-effect. It’s common to feel sluggish on vacation because the body is out of its natural rhythm, but this is an easy remedy. Taken from their site: Cleanse More™ combines the essential mineral magnesium with a proprietary blend of herbs including Cape Aloe, Rhubarb Root, Slippery Elm, Marshmallow Root, and Triphala. These have all traditionally been used to support daily routines. Together, these ingredients help reduce occasional constipation, promote regularity, and support your body’s natural elimination process of waste and toxins.*
Tallow Sun Balm is a mineral sunscreen. It’s nourishing, smooths skin tone, and offers a tinted glow.
Sikinos is my favorite summer perfume. It’s free from phthalates, parabens, nitromusks, and formaldehydes. It always gets a compliment and is fun to layer with other aromatics. I usually wear essential oil based perfumes, but when I wear perfume, it’s usually from Korres.
Tiger Balm is a hit on vacation. It’s perfect for soreness, aches and pains, and helping muscles to relax. It was used on necks, backs, shoulders, and calves this trip. I used it immediately to help relax tight muscles from driving 8 hours in the rain.
Weleda skin food is a dream for ultra-dry skin. Its rich and creamy formula makes it perfect for an overnight therapy. I used it to nourish my feet after walking in the sand all day. Lather with Skin Food and wear socks to bed to wake up with soft feet.
I’m a lip balm-aholic. ArtNaturals Beeswax Lip Balm got us through the trip. I brought a 6 pack to share.
Beauty of Joseon is a Korean skincare line that features rice water, ginseng, and green tea in their ingredients list. I used samples of their Revive Eye Serum during the beach trip to brighten and hydrate.
Greco Gum is not really gum at all, it’s resin. It has a light pine flavor and chews more like wax than gum. It naturally cleans your teeth, introduces healthy bacteria to your mouth and gut, and it works your facial muscles as you chew. Lift and tone the cheeks and jawline while you chew. Mastic has been shown to fight H. pylori (linked to ulcers and gastritis), protects the gut lining, and reduces plaque.
The Seacret Nail Buffing Block is a manicure replacement. Buff your nails to a beautiful shine and skip the polish. I’ve been surprised how many Breakthrough Sessions have revealed health problems connected to manicures and pedicures. Many of these products and procedures, like drying under UV nail lamps, are harmful.
I love a beautiful fragrance. These incense sticks from Folkulture are my new favorites! I enjoy this brand for its toxin and charcoal-free smoke, and the aromas are so lovely. I kept 1-2 sticks lit around the pool to keep the bugs away. The aroma was light and fresh and drew so many compliments. I use incense primarily outdoors and in well-ventilated areas. I was especially happy to have these as the teens threw bait fish into the trash bin outside. It was HOT in Florida and the stench was overwhelming. These offered sweet relief from terribly offensive smells.
I have to include my sunglasses! I have several of these in various colors that I’ve collected over the past 10 years. The Maui Jim Baby Beach Sunglasses are small enough to fit my face and come in a few variations. What I love most about Maui Jim’s is their repair policy, which I have taken full advantage of - usually having scratched lenses replaced in lieu of purchasing a new expensive pair of sunglasses. Fill out the form, send in your glasses, pay the repair fee, and they send them back like new!
Puracy offers plant, mineral, and enzyme based cleaning products. This is the laundry detergent I traveled with.
Music makes everything better. I have to include my Bose portable speaker. It’s lightweight, sounds great by the pool and in the kitchen, and it comes in a few cute colors now. I’ve had this one for a while and it has outlasted a few new speakers.
I hope you enjoyed looking through my stuff!
Let me know if you found anything interesting or if I missed something for my next trip.
I enjoy sharing products with my friends and clients. It’s a fun way to support companies that make better products, healthier products, and interesting products.
We speak volumes through what we purchase.
Shop well!
PS - I’m going to spotlight these products on Social Media, as well. Not everyone takes the time to read, like you. Thank you for reading!!!
PPS - I’ve added a few other Lists on my Storefront. If you enjoyed this, I can feature another list soon.
