32 Beach Vacation Essentials You Shouldn't Forget
A sand-removal bag filled with a talc-free, reef-friendly powder to help remove the pesky particles that seemingly yell "ATTACK!" when they see you and your soft skin coming. I can't possibly be the only one who despises sand, right? A Brumate Era 40-ounce water bottle featuring a *genius* design with a metal straw inside but a silicone straw on top for drinking comfort that seamlessly locks in place so you'll never find yourself drenched after it tumbles out of your flimsy beach chair cup holder. It'll also keep your drinks cold for 24 hours, so even if it takes you ALL day to hit your water quota, it'll still be as refreshing as when you first poured it. Plus, a Java Sok to keep your drink chilled and prevent it from dripping all over the paperback you've brought along to the beach — also a must-have for anyone who is tired of drinking watered-down iced coffee because it melted before they could set up their chair and umbrella. Burt's Bees After Sun Soother lotion for when you get attacked by the sun's harsh rays despite your best efforts. This lotion is packed with aloe and coconut oil to help your skin feel cooler after you accidentally got a bit too crispy sitting by the ocean. A portable lock box designed to be secured around two beach chairs, so you can stow your wallet/phone/keys away safely and enjoy a long swim without constantly having to poke your head up to check that your items are still there. A cooling towel you can soak in cold water and place around your neck to keep you feeling refreshed even if you've been running after your toddler in the hot summer heat for hours. Reviewers also say you can use it to cool down your dog, as well! A swiveling UPF 50 plus protection umbrella with an adjustable clamp you can attach to a chair (or a stroller, parents!) to create some much-needed shade on hot summer days. Baby Bum SPF 50 Sunscreen, a must-have for parents and their littles — it's unscented, moisturizing, 100% mineral based, vegan, cruelty free, and dye free. It'll certainly get the job done! And a sunscreen applicator that'll make covering your mini-me from head to toe a whole lot easier — especially if they're squirmy! Pour the lotion inside this travel size container, flip it upside down, shake it, and apply. No mess and no stress. Plus Supergoop Glowscreen for *your* exposed skin — it actually protects skin (hellooooo SPF 40👋) while making it shimmer just like Edward freakin' Cullen in the sunlight. And Hawaiian Tropic's SPF 30 Mineral Powder Sunscreen Brush to finally solve your dilemma over whether to spray/rub sunscreen onto your exposed scalp. Simply brush this translucent powder along your exposed part/hairline (after applying it all over your face, of course) to add some much-needed protection from the sun. A set of sand castle molds that'll solidify your "cool parent" status when you break 'em out at the beach and help your kiddos craft a structure worthy of a fairytale kingdom. Crab-shaped mesh bags and sifters tykes can use to gather all the exciting treasures they find while strolling along the beach or, honestly, even in their own backyard! A too-cute set of silicone beach toys in, dare I say, rather aesthetically pleasing colors you'll be proud to hand off to your kids for a day of fun in the sun. A rolling beach cart capable of holding everything a parent may need when heading out for the day with their kiddos in tow (which is A LOT of stuff, TBH). The wheels can handle most terrains, including sand and dirt, and it'll fold up flat to easily fit in the trunk of your car. A sporty colorblock bikini reviewers are obsessed with thanks to how comfortable and stylish it is — it has cheeky bottoms (hehe, fun!) and a subtle scoop neck that'll make you want to order it in other shades. A high-waisted swim skirt with built-in briefs to pair with your fave bikini top so you can happily grab endless drinks and snacks at your all-inclusive resort without worrying about too much of your bare butt touching the bar stool. (Yikes!) Or a loose-fitting cover-up in a fabulous print that'll flow behind you as you strut across the beach to grab a cocktail — you just might be mistaken for a glamorous Hollywood star during your next vacation. A scoop-neck monokini you'll adore so much you'll want to pose in it for your dating profile pic — yes, you're going to look that good in it! Bring on the influx of messages! A packable floppy hat that'll magically fold up so you can easily toss it into your beach bag or suitcase — what's the point of going to the beach if you're not going to bring the *draaamaaa* with a fabulous oversized hat? A sand-free blanket designed so that sand (or dirt) will roll right off it — because is there anything worse than finding debris in every crevice of your car after lounging at the beach all day? It can fit four adults on it and and folds up nice 'n' small, so you can carry it around with ease. Round sunglasses for anyone who constantly loses their favorite pair and is sick and tired of spending far too much money on replacements — these are stylish and *so* cost-effective you can stock up for the summer! SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes that'll become your saving grace if you're running around so much, you're constantly dripping in sweat. These babies are prescription strength and designed to take on hyperhidrosis, nervous sweating, and hormonal sweating. These wipes did NOT come to play! A sweat-controlling whole body deodorant designed to be applied to ANYWHERE you typically get sweaty — and it's designed to keep you sweat-free for up to 72 hours in addition to being odor-free. Witchcraft? Perhaps, but, BRB, I need to dip my entire body in this substance for the next few months. Gold Bond Friction Defense Stick to help you fight the good fight against your thighs and summer chafing — is there anything more irritating (literally) then wearing your favorite dress only to be left with red, painful welts by the end of the day? I think not. A waterproof version of the beloved Taco, Cat, Goat Cheese, Pizza game — it's a card game you can play with your family for guaranteed giggles and a way to catch your breath from traipsing around in the ocean. Waterproof playing cards so you can get a fierce game of Go Fish going without fear of the moment your kids inevitably spill their drink all over the place. A JBL portable speaker that's both waterproof *and* dust-proof (incredible) and will help you *pump up the jams* during your next pool or beach day with your fam — it easily clips onto a chair, so no worries about having to physically carry it around. A bladeless personal neck fan that'll be your new answer to the question, "If you could bring one thing to a desert island, what would it be?" Toss this baby around your neck, stretch out on your bed, turn on The Real Housewives of Miami and enjoy the cool breeze you've been craving since you set foot on the beach. Or a battery-operated stroller fan with a flexible handle you can wrap around your beach chair or prop up on a towel to keep you at the perfect temperature while sipping margaritas. Playful clips that are as practical as they are pretty — they'll hold your towel in place on your chair so you won't have to chase it across the beach and can focus on more important things like sipping on a Diet Coke and listening to a podcast. And an inflatable couch you'll pat yourself on the back for bringing along on your tropical vacay — plop this bad boy in the middle of the beach for a cozy, relaxing, good time. You won't even need a pump to blow it up (just trap some air inside it) and it can hold up to 440 pounds, in case your entire squad wants to pile in and snug under the stars.

28 Products For People Who Secretly Hate Summer
A pack of cooling towels for when you're on hour three of that outdoor adventure you agreed to (why, oh why) and need to cool down stat. They're easy to use and quick-acting: Just soak the towel, wring it out, give it a snap, and *bam* — up to three hours of sweet, sweet heat relief. The thin mesh material can be draped across your shoulders on those tank top days or tied around your head for a sun shield. Conveniently, it also comes in a resealable carrying bag, so you'll be rinsing and repeating all summer long! A JavaSok to help protect your $8 iced latte from meeting a sad, melty end. The flexible sleeve is made of a thermal insulating material that keeps drinks cold for hours, preventing wet hands and those puddles of condensation on your desk. With these handy helpers, you can take your time sippin' on those hot summer days and ditch the napkins that always become a sopping mess anyway. An outdoor misting system if you've ever passed by the produce section of the grocery store and envied all the veggies being showered with a fine spray. The pre-assembled misting hose attaches to your faucet and can be run along any area that needs some cooling this summer, like your patio, greenhouse, or chicken coop (reviewers say feathery friends seem to love this too!). The length and mist pressure can easily be customized, and the kit comes with everything you need for hassle-free installing! Burt's Bees After Sun Soother to relieve the harsh reminder that sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours (lesson = learned). The lightweight lotion is made with aloe and coconut oil to help soothe red, inflamed skin, speed up healing, and reduce peeling *without* that greasy or sticky feeling. Even with no sunburn to treat, reviewers say it's lovely for deeply moisturizing dehydrated skin after swimming, because that saltwater dryness is no joke either. And a three-pack of Neutrogena Ultra Sheer sunscreen you won't even mind reapplying throughout the day because of how lightweight and fast-absorbing it is. Reviewers say the SPF 70 (!!) formula is non-greasy, completely sheer, and doesn't stain clothes (unlike lotion), *and* it's water-resistant, so you can swim and sweat worry-free. This cost-effective pack is a great way to stock up, so if you've procrastinated in hopping on the SPF train, this is an all-around great option to start your journey. A set of car window shades if the summer sun (and your leather seats) makes you dread even driving from point A to point B. The shades have a static side that clings to your windows (no suction cups!) and are opaque enough to lessen the glare and heat that enters your car without blocking your view. They can also be easily adjusted, removed, and stored away in their pouch for those late-night, windows-down summer cruises (which I can actually get behind). The Bug Bite Thing, a suctioning tool to save you from the pesky bloodsuckers that insist on giving you an itchy summer. The little gizmo works by pulling out the saliva from your mosquito bites (or wasp stings!), which is full of the venom that causes the itching and irritation. It works like a syringe (but no needle, BTW) — after a few seconds of holding the suction, you'll be good to go. It's a great tool to have in your bug-fighting arsenal, and also kid-friendly! A Naturium cooling body wash that'll give you that icy feeling of chewing minty gum and drinking water, but all over your body. This body cleanser has mandelic acid, a gentle AHA that lightly exfoliates to help soothe bumpy texture and neutralize odor, along with energizing citrus and herbal extracts — so it might be just what your body needs (and deserves) after a hot, sticky day. A Gold Bond Friction Defense stick because there are seriously few things worse than chafing (*shudder*). The stick's formula glides easily onto skin and can be applied anywhere friction occurs, like between thighs or under bras. It creates a layer of defense against chafe pain without being greasy, has aloe to soothe any roughed-up skin, *and* reviewers say it holds up against sweat or getting wet! For anyone who has worn shorts only to end the day with a limping, circular walk, this one's for us. A Briotech spray if summer livin' means redness, new breakouts, and BO. The main ingredient, hypochlorous acid, is bacteria-fighting and can help soothe skin, reduce the appearance of acne, *and* fight odor from sweat. Don't let the word ~acid~ scare you — it's naturally made by the body and, when used in skincare, can actually calm irritated skin, so it's perfect for a refreshing spritz on those hot, sweaty days. And bonus: This is a cheaper alternative to the super popular Tower 28 SOS spray (with the same key ingredient). The new Casely AquaBuddy, an ultra-sturdy waterproof pouch if beach days for you mean wading near the shore where you can keep an anxious lookout for your belongings. (🙋♀️) The case is IP68-certified, which is a fancy way of saying it's dust-proof and can be fully submerged in water up to 6 feet without worry. It secures your phone (and cards!) with a snap-lock closure, lets you use the touchscreen and camera while in water, and, best of all, floats to the surface for that extra peace of mind. Also, as far as phone pouches go, it's pretty dang cute. A pre-swim hair cream if you're tired of spending what feels like an hour gently brushing out your very dry hair after taking a dip. This hair lotion is designed to be lathered on *before* the damage is done, with ingredients like shea butter and sweet almond oil that help keep your locks lush. It also works for treated hair by protecting the color and shine, and blonde reviewers say it helped keep theirs from turning green from the chlorine! A pair of blackout curtains, because what were once gentle beams shining into your home last fall have become oppressive and sweltering with the summer sun. These thick, weighty curtains are double layered and made of a triple-weave fabric that helps stop light from shining through. They also have a black liner facing the window, which is better for thermal insulation so your home stays cool in the summer *and* warm in the winter. Now, even with daylight savings, you can finally live out your dream of being a cave-dwelling vampire in peace. A cooling blanket with over *13,000* 5-star ratings — if you've ever woken up at 3 a.m. in a muggy room just to desperately kick off your sheets, these are for you. Reviewers who live in hot places (like Florida and Texas) love these sheets and say the cotton-bamboo blend is cool to the touch and saved them from the dreaded night sweats. The waffle weave is lightweight while still being cozy and luxe, and it adds a simple, textured touch to your decor. And a cooling sheet set from the same brand, the hot-sleeper cheat code for surviving the season. They're made of 100% bamboo-derived rayon, which is three times more absorbent than cotton and makes these sheets moisture wicking and silky soft. Reviewers rave about how breathable and comfortable the fabric feels, and say the sheets *actually* stay cool throughout the night, helping regulate their temperature. Restless, sweaty sleep, begone! An oscillating tower fan because if nowhere else, your home should be a safe haven from the terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad outdoors. The 42-inch fan has six speeds (which reach up to 30 feet!) and four modes, and reviewers say at the highest setting it can actually make the room *too* cold. It's also whisper-quiet, so absolutely no buzzing or annoying rattling, and it can be controlled by remote. So while everyone else is braving the elements doing who-knows-what, you'll be inside, quite literally ~chillin' like a villain~. A handheld mini fan with nearly 52,000 (!!!) 5-star ratings that'll help make the summer air a bit more ~bear~able (pun intended). Despite its super compact size, reviewers love how powerful and quiet it is, and (drumroll, please) how it also works as a flashlight and portable charger! Whether you're spending a long day at an amusement park or packed into a stuffy subway, this lil' gadget is sure to provide you some use and relief. Who knows, you might even experience a divine awakening. A powder dry shampoo so limp hair from the dang humidity doesn't stop you from serving looks this season. The lightweight formula has cornstarch, which absorbs oil and can be easily blended into the hair (yes, even dark hair), and the container has a sponge at the end so you can evenly distribute and choose exactly where the product goes (unlike aerosol sprays). It's also super compact, so you can throw it in your purse for on-the-go volume and quick touch-ups — say buh-bye to stringy bangs. A Megababe odor-blocking foot spray, because when we're trekking through our Euro-summer itinerary for 10 hours, our feet aren't exactly gonna smell minty now. The ~magic~ of the spray is in the tea tree oil, which is antimicrobial and helps fight odor-causing bacteria *before* your feet have a chance to stink. Simply spritz the minty lavender "toe deo" on clean, dry feet for hours-long protection, literally: Reviewers say this totally saved them after working grueling, fume-producing 10-hour and 12-hour shifts. A Uniqlo AIRism cotton T-shirt with a relaxed fit that'll have you looking (and feeling) cool as a cucumber. The unique material is the ultimate summer armor: The cotton keeps it breathable, while the quick-drying technology makes it *super* moisture wicking. The smooth fabric and thick collar also make the tee look more expensive than it actually is, so it's the perfect closet staple to be dressed up or down all year long. E.l.f. Power Grip primer so you can finally wear a full face of makeup that does 👏 not 👏 budge. 👏 When first applied to the skin, this primer has a tacky texture that truly grips your makeup, then dries down into a non-sticky, natural finish. It has hyaluronic acid, which helps keep skin from feeling dry or producing excess oils throughout the day. And as much as we love Milk's Hydro Grip primer, this budget-friendly option has rightfully earned its spot as *the* summer skin-prep staple, with nearly 25,000 5-star ratings. A pair of Old Navy linen-blend pants if you love the breathability of 100% linen but can't get behind that stiff, wrinkled look (or price tag). This rayon blend has all that same easy-breezy feel while being stretchy and giving that effortlessly cool, drapey vibe. They work as a lightweight alternative to your work trousers or can be worn on your summer picnics to protect you from itchy grass. Oh, and they come in three inseams (you're welcome). A pack of mosquito repellent bracelets for the self-proclaimed mosquito magnets who just want to enjoy the barbecue without frantically swatting at their bodies. These stretchy bands are infused with essential oils like citronella, geranium, and lemongrass that those bloodsuckers can't stand. Reviewers say that putting one on their ankle and one on their wrist is usually enough to keep the bugs at bay so they can freely enjoy summer evenings (which might be the best part of the season, TBH). A plug-in fly-trap, because of allll the places in the world, bugs want to be buzzing in your home and getting all up in your fruits. The hassle-free device emits a blue glow that lures in flying critters from up to 400 feet away, then captures them in its glue trap. Even with bugs getting caught by the dozens, the sleek device remains clean at the front, so you don't have to worry about the card for a whole month (or until it's full). Fair warning: It will catch bugs you had no idea lurked in your home, which is both reassuring and horrifying. A travel-size sun umbrella so you can go to all those local markets and music festivals (or just take a quick walk to grab the mail) without feeling like your skin is literally sizzling off. Unlike others made for rain, this parasol has a black, opaque underside that absorbs light, giving it a UPF rating of 50+ (i.e. it blocks 98% of UV radiation)! If you notice people trying to subtly squeeze into your shade, don't be alarmed. And a hands-free umbrella (also with UPF 50+) that shows ultimate levels of preparedness to fight off the heat. This personal parasol has a 360-degree swivel so you can easily adjust it as the sun moves, and it's designed to clamp onto the back of your folding chair — or a stroller, cooler, sports-game railing, and even a lawn mower (genius)! A swimming headband to help protect kiddos' (and adults'!) ears from water, because earplugs can't always keep up with your wild child. These thick, non-slip bands wrap around their hairline and fasten in the back, so they can float, jump, and spin without the worry of ear infections. And with these, nobody will have to spend precious pool time hopping on one foot while jiggling their earlobe (which, in my experience, has mixed results). A pack of Liquid I.V. for those moments when you need water and you need water now. These electrolyte drink mixes hydrate faster than water alone and contain *lots* of vitamins and nutrients that can replenish you after a particularly sweaty day or ~long night out~, and they can help out with those dehydration-induced headaches too. And anyway, does anything say summer like Firecracker Popsicles?

It's 14-karat gold plated, has a reliable clasp, and will add the perfect amount of sparkle to their daily stack.

This version will encourage you to use powers of deduction and a variety of clues to solve the mysteries throughout the book. Sherlock Holmes, who?

11 Things We've Tried And Loved This Month June '25
A cuticle oil pen that will have your nails shining brighter than the sun — so warn everyone around you not to stare at them directly. Ok, maybe not that bright, but your nails will look fresh-from-the-salon shiny and the argan, coconut, and sunflower seed oils will add some moisture. It even comes in a ridiculously cute and convenient keychain tube so you can touch up your mani on the go. A portable Thermacell mosquito repellent device, which is bound to become your new summer BFF. No seriously, you might start planning road trips and rosé nights together. Just pop in one of the repellent cartridges, power it on, then kick back as it repels mosquitoes up to 20 feet away. The best part? The battery is rechargeable, so you can carry this around with you everywhere. John Frieda's Secret Weapon Touch Up Creme — finding a leave-in you can use on fully dried hair is surprisingly tricky, but this one is designed specifically for that! It's super easy to spread through and softens hair enough to re-style without looking overly wet. Oh, and you'll also get a touch of moisture thanks to the lightweight avocado oil. A kid-size Away carry-on in playful colorways that'll have you thinking, "do they make these in adult sizes?!" This compact yet spacious carry-on has a super durable outer shell and tons of room on the inside for some extra outfits, which you'll be eternally grateful you packed when they inevitably spill their entire cup of apple juice at some point. Lush's Rose Jam Perfume and Shower Gel that even the most passionate rose haters will be tempted by. This is NOT your typical rose scent — it pairs the classic floral fragrance with sweet vanilla and a zesty touch of lemon. The result? An unexpectedly sweet, playful rose fragrance that's about to become your new "jam." Start with the shower gel (bonus: your entire bathroom will smell like it after you use it), then layer the perfume and prepare for the onslaught of "what are you wearing?!" coming your way. Conair's The Knot Dr. smoothing dryer brush — a multitasking miracle that combines a paddle-style hairbrush with a blow-dryer. It has two heat settings (and a "cool" option), and you can even snap the brush head off and use it as a normal blow-dryer before you get to styling. A shapewear bodysuit that proves you don't have to give up comfort if you like to wear shapewear. The smoothing, seamless design is made with a super soft mix of nylon and spandex that's so comfy, you won't daydream about taking it off at the end of the day. It also has built-in support and removable cups at the bust, so you can wave goodbye to that way-too-thick-for-summer bra you always regret wearing. A Taylor Swift–inspired JavaSok — the perfect companion for your Caffeinated Era. The thermal insulation helps to keep your drink colder for longer, which will come in handy when you forget about it while scouring the JavaSok's pattern for clues about when "Getaway Car (Taylor's Version)" will finally bless our ears. A pack of delightfully chewy Blobs sour gummies that are equal parts tart and sweet, and will take you back to your childhood days of devouring an entire box of Scooby Doo fruit snacks (those matte blue ones were ELITE). The sour pack comes with flavors like strawberry-yuzu, watermelon-lychee, and black raspberry-cherry — so this is basically a "Greatest Fruits of All Time" convention. Poems of Parenting — this will instantly cheer you up on those days when parenthood feels comically difficult. It's filled with cheeky poems by Loryn Brantz that tackle everything from bedtime struggles to the joys of baby snuggles. The Roc Vitamin C Eye Balm, a TikTok-viral product that definitely lives up to the hype. This super convenient serum-in-a-stick is designed to be swiped directly on the under-eye to provide an instant cooling effect. The vitamin C can help brighten the appearance of dark circles over time, while the inclusion of peptides helps to firm and tighten.
