My beach bag seems to be everywhere I am these days, and it’s filled with my favorite neccesities.

Sunscreen is essential, especially in this intense island heat! I like CellCeuticals Photo Defense for the face and I also apply the highest number protection I can get my hands on for the kids, all day long.  Summer is the best time for me to lose myself in a book.  I’m reading my girlfriend Katie Lee’s new novel, Groundswell.

Beach air, salt and wind can be brutal on the hair, I use Pequi Oil Treatment to keep my ends hydrated.  Neosporin and Band-Aids go everywhere my kids are – I keep a mini emergency kit in my bag at all times.

I love to capture beautiful moments, the ModernMom flip is amazing!

Here are some more of my summer favs:

MOROCCANOIL – This ultra-light oil treatment is absorbed by the hair instantly, and strengthens and conditions.

kai perfume oil – The roll-on bottle is convenient and easy to use.

Illuminare Concealing Mineral Foundation – This liquid mineral makeup also has UVA/UVB protection.

uhaircare Mandarin Hair Revival – Great leave-in conditioner made with mandarin and peru balsam oil that keeps hair shiny.

jouer Lip Enhancer – Conditioning lip treatment that goes on sheer with just a hint of pink.
