Seasonal

Let’s get ready for summer!

May 3, 2023

While I am aware that it is just now May, I am preparing for summer and finding all the summer swim and necessities to share with you. It will be here in the blink of an eye and I am totally ready for it!

Swimwear

Of course, when we think of summer we think of swimming! I am due for a swimsuit, and SummerSalt is one of my favorite places to find swimsuits. They are high quality and fit well. I saw a few weeks ago that SummerSalt and Rifle Paper Co did a collaboration and their swimsuits do not disappoint! This one was one of my faves so I’m sharing it with you. Tip: if you join their email list you get $10 off. Here are some more in their collection if you like the “Mommy & Me” or family look and then some of their bestsellers. And can we talk about this bag/tote??!! Read below for all the deets on this amazing pool or beach tote.

Bogg Bag tote

I found the Holy Grail of pool totes! I don’t know about you, but when I go to the pool I want to take all the things. Especially if you have kids. And they seem to always find a way to try to bring every pool toy or gadget or snack known to man. Am I right? Yes. I am. So, let’s get back to the bag.

It essentially looks like a giant Crocs shoe. Same material (to the best of my knowledge) and with the little “customizable holes”. So this one is the Original (XL) tote and it comes with two clear zippable bags that attach to the inside of the bag (or outside—you choose!). I loved the mint green, but they have 12 colors to choose from. BUT…you can also buy these amazing dividers that also double as a tray to put in vertically or horizontally in the bag. You can create compartments or, like I said, you can do it horizontally to make a tray when you are ready to lay your book down, your phone, or—of course—your snacks and beverages!

I also found Boglets, which are little accessories you can add too. I bought the water bottle holder and the phone holder. They also have a wallet holder, hook for pacifiers, keys or airpods, and a bottle opener too—all in 10 colors. If you search Bogg Bag Charms on etsy you will get a million different charms with initials, sayings, icons and the like to decorate the outside of your bag like the Jibbitz™ on Crocs! I am OBSESSED!

Here is a video I did on putting all the accessories in/on the bag.

The Original Bogg Bag (XL Tote)– $90.

This is the one I have and I think it is the perfect size for the pool or beach! Comes in 12 colors. Some colors sell out or are sold out until back in stock. 19 in. x 15 in. x 9.5 in.

The Bitty Bogg Bag – $55.

This is for those who prefer the more “purse size”. Just know that the divider trays do not fit in this size, only the Original Bogg size. Comes in 4 colors. 11 in. x 8.5 in. x 4.5 in.

The Baby Bogg Bag– $70.

This is in between the Bitty and the Original. Comes in 3 colors. 15 in. x 13 in. x 5.25 in.

Dividers – $15.99

These are the dividers to make compartments or a little table/tray for all your t hings.

Water bottle/drink holder – $22.95

This water bottle holder can also hold a baby bottle, the thinner drink cans and drink cups. It comes in 10 colors.

Phone holder – $22.95

I don’t know about you, but I’m always digging in the pool bag to find my phone. This is great to keep it in one spot on the inside or outside of your bag. Comes in 10 colors.

Pool shoes

Cushiony Sandals

I have these amazing sandals that I wear everywhere and they are labeled on Amazon as slippers, but you can wear these anywhere! They come in 16 colors and leopard print, like mine. They are the most comfortable shoes ever and they’re waterproof, so they are perfect for the pool or beach.

Croc Flip Flops

These are super comfy and come in black, white, navy and hot pink.

Crocs Glitter Slides

If your favorite color is glitter, these are for you! Also, if you love adding Jibbitz™ to your Crocs, these are for you. So fun for summer.

Crocs Charms

If you have kids, I am almost certain you know the phenomenon that is the Crocs Jibbitz, or charms. Here is a very inexpensive pack of really fun summer ones.

Fave Sunscreens

Sunbum

Sunbum is our sunscreen of choice over here. It is light, doesn’t leave a white film and smells good. Not to mention it lasts really well in the water and for a good while for us fairskinned people who have to reapply every hour or risked being fried.

Coppertone Mineral Spray

If you prefer the mineral spray, this is a good one.

Blue Lizard Sensitive Skin

This sunscreen is the ideal sunscreen lotion for Broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 50+ protection.Mineral sunscreen lotion with no chemical active ingredients. Paraben-free and fragrance-free. Water resistant (80 minutes).

BEST SELLER – Sunscreen applicator

This is a #1 Best Seller on Amazon and it makes applying sunscreen super easy! Just take the lid off and add your sunscreen and rub it on. So great for kids too.

Well here is to hoping you are as excited about the upcoming summer as I am. Let me know if you have some must-haves or faves to add to the list!
