7 Beach Hacks
12:00 AMThe beach is a summertime staple destination for almost everyone, right? Before you hit the sand, check out these hacks to make it even better!

Putting baby powder around your towel or blanket will keep the ants away! (This will work for picnics, of course!) Baby powder also works to remove sand from your skin!
Moisture will damage your cell phone. Prevent unexpected damage and accidents by placing your cell phone in a Ziploc bag. You'll still be able to use your phone and keep it safe.

Use inconspicuous containers to store your phone, money, keys and more such more in an old lotion bottle or ChapStick container.

Use a soap container to keep your camera at hand and in a safe place.

Wrap the elastic from a fitted sheet around things placed at each corner to create a sand barrier. I love this idea!

Sew pockets to your beach towels for easy access to your must-have-at-hand.

Use an empty Tic-Tac container to store extra elastics and bobby pins in case you need to put your hair up.

Hi Kate, you are spot on, the baby powder is great for getting sand to brush off before heading home.

Wonderful ideas! Now I just need to get to the beach to use them!! My suggestion: be sure to pack water in your cooler, not just other beverages. Not only is water good to drink, you can dab some on a towel and wipe the salt and sand off of your face!

ReplyDeleteGreat tips! I will definitely be using these when I go to the beach next month! :)
