I have done 'essential product' based posts in the past, but this one is slightly different.
This one this basically what I keep with me when I'm poolside on holiday.


Magazines/ Books
I don't read much when I'm at home, however it's a great pass time when you're just chilling on a sun lounger catching a tan. I like to read a variety of different things including topic specific magazines, books & ebooks on my iPhone.

Sun Cream
This really is a MUST for me, being so pale. Although it should be for anyone! Sun cream should be applied regularly if you're sitting out in the sun, especially after having a swim. I like to use Nivea sun creams for my body & am currently trialling Benefit's Dream Screen for my face.

Sunglasses
I have to wear sunglasses whenever the sun is out so I wouldn't be able to cope without these bad boys. In case I carry multiple sunglasses with me at any time.

Bottle of Water
This is again an important one! It's essential to drink water to stay hydrated when you're out in the sun. You will be sweating more & losing water quicker than normal, so drink up! If you are drinking alcohol it's still important to have water as alcohol will only aid in dehydration.

Hand Sanitiser
I take these everywhere will me, for so many reasons. Smelly, sticky sun creams, if you're eating or if you just want to refresh your hands it saves you a trip to the toilet.

Lip Balm

The sun drys out your skin in general, including your lips! Cracked, dry lips are not a good look.

iPhone

My hub for music, calm apps & books. Just an essential in life. Sorry not sorry.

Headphones

Linked to my previous item, the only way to listen to music around other people. There's nothing worse than someone playing music out loud, because let's be honest we don't all like the same things!

Let me know what's in your pool bag in the comments below.

So onto some of the things I have in my clutch bag:

- ID - my driving license.

- Money & Cards

- My iPhone

- Eye Drops

- Hand Sanitiser

- Lip Liner

- Lip Gloss

- Benadryl

- Mini Perfume

- Business Cards

What do you guys think? Am I missing anything I really need? Or is it all a bit too much?

1. Hand Maid hand sanitiser

Hand sanitiser is a must for me at all time really, especially on a day out.

You never know when you're next going to find a bathroom or sink, so hand sanitiser is ideal. If you plan on eating out, you should definitely be carrying some of this.

My favourite is this Hand Maid one by Soap & Glory as it smells really nice!

2. Sunglasses

I have really light sensitive eyes so sunglasses are must at all times.

These are just some cheap ones from Boohoo.com, I don't tend to spend loads on sunglasses because I get through so many pairs & lose so many.

3. Nude Lipstick

I always carry a nude lipstick with me, as lipstick is always the one make up product that wears off really quickly. I opt for a nude as I can easily apply a nude lipstick without a mirror & they tend to go with any make up look.

4. Lip Balm

Lip balm is something everyone should have on them, preferably one with SPF. You just never know when you're going to get dry/ chapped lips. If you have one that isn't tinted it can act as a multi-use product.

5. Face Wipes

As a 'just in case' I like to take face wipes with me on days out. They are great to wipe anything down really. 

6. Suncream

Especially in the summer months it's ideal to take some form of suncream with you, if you can get a mini sized one brilliant but they're not that easy to find. I always use a suncream which is SPF30 or higher as I am fair.

7. Body Spray

Perfume can sometimes be a little intense for the daytime so I like to use & carry a body spray on days out. You can be a bit more literal with them, but it's important to remain smelling lovely throughout your day.

8. Trip Advisor

I use Trip Advisor a lot. I don't just use it for recommendations when I'm out & about I also like to write reviews on there too! It's a website for anyone who is into travelling. You can find reviews on attractions, restaurants, hotels & more!
