Happy Friday!  The forecast for this weekend is looking beautiful!  Obviously this means I will be spending as much time outside as possible!  I'm a pretty low key person when it comes to going to the beach but I thought I'd share the 10 things I need when heading out!

1. A beach bag!  I think this pretty much goes without saying seeing as this is a beach bagpost..
2. A towel.  I've just been using a bathroom towel because I have a few of them and am too cheap to spend money on a proper beach towel..  Whatever, it does the job.
3. A book.  I've heard so many great things about this book so I decided to pick it up for myself.  I haven't had a chance to start it yet as I've been swamped with school readings, but as soon as I get the chance I'll dig in.
4. Water bottle.  Keep hydrated!! It can prevent heat stroke, give you energy and make you feel good!
5. Gum.  Nuff said.
6. Sunglasses!  Keep them eyeballs protected!
7. Lip Balm.  With an SPF.  Burnt lips are just not in.
8. Sunscreen.  Slather that stuff on.  Ain't nobody got time for skin cancer.
9. Phone.  Super convenient for taking pictures and listening to music.
10. Headphones.  Can't listen to music without em!  Well, I guess you can, but it's much more polite to use headphones.

And there you have it folks.  A bag full of goodies that will keep you going allll day.

PS I just realized I forgot to include money and snacks!  Just maybe THE most important things...
