Olah! What time is it? It’s summer time! Our favorite season is finally here! And what is it that people love to do during summer? Go to the beach, of course! Because of the sunny weather, it’s great to pay a visit to the beach and dip your feet on the salty water. Whether you go with your family, friends, SOs, or even on your own, you always have to bring something with you to complete your day.
Here are 5 essentials you must bring with you on your beach trip:
1. Sunscreen
Obviously, sunscreen is on top of this list. It’s a must-bring item when going out on a sunny day, most especially to the beach! Your skin needs protection from the harmful rays of the sun. A sunscreen with SPF50 is highly recommended. Wearing a hat or bringing an umbrella with you won’t suffice!
2. Sunnies
Your summer OOTD will not be complete without sporting a pair of sunnies! It will surely get hot at the beach. And aside from your skin, your eyes need protection too. Put your shades on, fix your kinis, and go take awesome photos for the gram in style!
3. Drink
Staying hydrated is the key to spend a full day in the sun. You’ll definitely need a drink to regain your energy from playing volleyball with your friends or strolling along the shore with your significant other. Quench your thirst with cool refreshments like coconut juice or mango smoothie. Albeit, nothing beats a cold bottle of water. 😉
4. Beach Blanket
Need a break from all the fun activities? Just want to relax? Get your beach blanket and lay it flat on the sand. Take your well-deserved rest. Enjoy the fantastic view and the majestic sound of the waves. Fancy some tan lines? You can do sun tanning. Make sure to apply sun screen for protection. And don’t stay under the sun for too long or you’ll get burnt. Yikes!
5. A Book
Summer is the perfect time to tick off one of the books that has been long scribbled on your reading list! Bring along a great book like Catching Genesis by Nicole Riddley, one of Typewriter Pub’s best-selling books. If you want something fun and light to devour in one sitting, then get lost in Genesis’ world of arrogant werewolves, royal brats, and an irresistible lycan god.Catching Genesis is available in eBook, paperback, and audiobook formats. You can read the blurb and get a copy here.
Speaking of which, Typewriter Pub will be hosting a book giveaway this Monday, the ninth, for Filipino fans!
