Summer solstice – the longest day of the summer – was June 20 and officially kicked off the summer season. Yesterday, my family headed to the beach (I’m lucky to live one hour from some of the most amazing beaches in NJ – don’t mock the Jersey shore) so we love day tripping.

It was a beautiful, breezy day and I had seven of my summer essentials tucked into my beach bag.

Here are all of my affiliate summer must haves 2016 getting me through the hot summer months.

Lip Balm – 100% natural and love the four different flavors (especially pomegranate)

Face Sunscreen – love that this doesn’t clog my pores (read: no zits)

  1. Welcome home Jersey Girl. Where are you vacationing?
    I am off to Avon by the Sea, NJ today.
    Enjoy all of NJ’s goodness

      1. Yes, I know DelPonte’s pizza and bakery. So good.
        Next time you are in that area of the shore you need to make a stop at the Scone Pony, Washington St in Spring Lake. Amazing scones and baked goods plus it is the cutest bakery.

  2. Jersey shore! Spent all my summers there as a child. Great place and down to earth people. Enjoy your vacation.

  3. Oh! We used to go “down the shore” when I was a kid in South Jersey. We mainly went to Long Beach Island – Beach Haven, Barnegat Light. I heard those areas were mostly destroyed during Hurricane Sandy. For excitement it was the boardwalk at Atlantic Ciry (way before the casinos) or Ocean City.

  4. I am at the age that the beach is not for me, but i do love the mountains or to just get away! You do have a great list. So have a great time with your family.
