Sunscreen is non-negotiable in Florida. I like this one because the lightweight, invisible finish makes it much easier to actually wear every day instead of feeling like you’re covered in sunscreen.

🏖️BEACH & POOL

Practical beach and pool essentials for spending long days outside without worrying about your phone, valuables, music or the Florida sun.

This is the sunscreen we actually use on our faces. It feels lightweight and doesn’t leave that heavy, greasy sunscreen feeling, which makes it much easier to use every day in Florida.

One of those things you don’t realize you need until you’re caught in a Florida downpour. I love having a waterproof backpack for beach days, boat trips and outdoor adventures when I need to keep my phone, clothes and other essentials protected.
