1. A delicious book to read while you are absorbing the happy sunshine. I suggest The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, A Hundred Summers, The Fault in our Stars, and The Longest Ride.
2. A stack of magazines in case you want a more casual reading experience, and you feel like exiting book world and entering back into reality.
3. A kickin’ playlist, such as Hanging Out and Relaxing, courtesy of Spotify. Don’t forget speakers!
4. Sun Bum, aka your new BFF. This sunscreen smells amazingly like coconuts, so you will actually want to lather it all over your body.
5. Frozen grapes because they are tasty, calming, and refreshing in contrast to the salty ocean water and hot rays.
6. Sassy shades to protect your eyes from the powerful sunlight, and of course, to block out all the haters.
7. A very large, icy water bottle, so you will stay hydrated.
8. An oversize beach towel so you can sprawl out and take a nap, because sun bathing can be pretty tiring after all.
