Depending on if your going with friends or not listening to music while at the beach is a great way to stay relaxed.

Towel or Blanket

Because does every part of your body need to collect sand? If you bring a blanket you may even consider taking a nap out by the water!

Beach bags are my favorite summer time essential as well as beach essential because what else would you use to carry all your stuff in when going to the beach?

Cover-up

If you've tried to put on shorts and a T-shirt after being in a wet bathing suit all day you know the struggle and how long it takes to get yourself situated. Instead at the end of a long beach day just throw on your cover-up over your wet bathing suit!

Hat

Along with sunscreen a hat is great to give you the shade you need. Plus wearing your favorite sports team or school as a hat is an amazing conversation starter!

Hairbrush

Beach hair can be a struggle so a brush is always great to have to tame your hair.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
