What's In My Beach Bag!

Hey everyone! Tomorrow I will be knee deep in the water somewhere, so I thought why not do a what's in my beach bag post?! I usually don't carry a beach bag when I am just down at the pool or something but since I am going to be spending all day at the beach I actually put a little effort into my beach bag this time!

My beach bag is from Bath and Body Works it is big and reversible so I love it! 


What's inside...


This little bag keeps all the necessities you might need throughout the day! If you are like me and have dry skin, the water dries it out even more! So I love to keep moisturizer plus mascara, bobby pins, and hair ties. And more than likely I will get bored so I love to keep a nail polish also. 


Again, I will probably get bored so I love to keep a light, fun book to read while basking in the sun :) I recently got The Lo- Down and I can't wait to read it while at the beach! A book review may be coming...


And of course you have to protect your skin from the sun so these are just a few of my favorite products that I use while out in the sun.


You don't want to have to put on a cover up sopping wet so a towel is always nice to have! I love these Vera Bradley towels because they are super cute and HUGE! 


Speaking of cover ups, I love to keep a fun, colorful one with me just in case my family decides to grab a bite to eat and we don't have time to go back to the room! 


Ok, I bet you're wondering why in the world does this girl carry around Ziploc bags in her beach bag?! I don't know about y'all, but I hate putting a wet bikini in my bag to get everything else wet so I just stick them in a Ziploc bag!


Last but MOST CERTAINLY not least, is this Sally Hershberger wavy hair spray! If I only had to choose one product to take with me, this would be it! It creates the perfect beachy waves and it smells AH-mazing!




I hope y'all enjoyed this post! Have a great weekend!! :)

Beauty By Bethany: First Blog!

Hi everyone!

I've watched beauty videos on YouTube for about a year now, but I feel like I would not have enough time  to spend making videos and honestly it is a little scary to me! So I thought that a blog would be the perfect in between!

I am so excited to start this blog and I really hope that everyone who reads this will come back for more because I have some pretty neat blog posts lined up!
