Beach and Travel Bag Essentials












It's a Glam Thing Beauty Expert Dawn McCarthy has compiled a selection of summer beauty & accessory must haves. Dawn travels often for business and, as like many, she will be doing some personal travel this summer. Dawn suggests these beauty & style items to stash in your travel bag.

Hotels most often do not have the best lighting in the bathroom and vanity areas. Inadequate lighting can drive someone crazy. Trend Tweeze by Luxury Trends are water proof lighted tweezers. These tweezers have a built in light for easy plucking. They are very pretty with embellishments and come in a carry carry case of their own.

There are plenty of people who ignore the importance of sunscreen & sun protective clothing. Like brushing your teeth and washing your face, it is a necessity to apply sunscreen. Dawn uses Brush on Block. It's an instant mineral sunscreen containing naturally occurring minerals that offer broad-spectrum, sunscreen action when used as directed. It can be used all over the body.

SPF Addict is a brand of sun protective clothing that includes sun protection scarves. The scarves are beautifully made with fabric that keeps your skin protected from harmful UV rays. Each scarf is designed with 50+ UPF (SPF) protection and is made in the United States. Visit skincancer.org for information on the importance of sun protection.

The heat can sometimes be unbearable often during the summertime months. It is important for adults to take precautions when it comes to the summer heat to protect themselves and the children. The Windchiller Hand Held Personal Misting Fan is a must have. It uses a pressurized tank to deliver an ultra fine mist in front of a child safe fan blade. The Windchiller device uses 2 AA batteries to power the fans and comes with a refillable water case. Just pump the water, press a button, and let the mist cool you down.

Humidity, sweat and other common summertime elements wreak havoc on hair. Take along a dry shampoo like Batiste Dry Shampoo as a way to quickly and conveniently get soft, clean and fresh smelling hair. You use it without water as an instant fix for revitalizing greasy, dull and lifeless hair. Just spray it on and brush it through the hair.

For carrying your travel items, Scout by Bungalow offers bags and totes in a variety of styles and fabrics that are trendy and fun. With styles like the Daytripper Tote, a Weekender Bag, Zip Top totes & more you'll look fashionable and have plenty of storage space.
