Spring break is almost here! For those of you planning a week in the sun, here are 6 things to pack in your beach bag!

1. A Cheap Pair of Sunnies

I know you can hardly wait to bust out your favorite pair of oversized sunglasses, but if they cost more than $20, leave them at home. If they aren’t swept off by a wave, they’ll be scratched up by the sand. I guarantee it.

2. A Good Book

Check out a few suggested summer reads from Teen Vogue here.

3. Snacks, Snacks, and More Snacks

Need I say more?

4. Sunscreen

I can’t stress enough the importance of slathering on the SPF when you’re outside. Spray-on sunscreen is so easy to apply, it’s hard to find an excuse.

5. Lip Balm

SPF is for your lips too! Make sure to pick a lip balm with at least SPF 15.

6. Portable Speaker

Don’t invest too much money in a speaker that’s going to sit in the sand, but this is a great way to blast your spring break playlist!
