This is a game changer!

Sand gets EVERYWHERE.

Once you’ve gathered and dressed everyone and packed the car with all 487 things that you need, there is absolutely nothing better than a beach day, especially in this weather.

We dream about them, we live for them, and then when they finally happen (once or twice a year) we end up cleaning sand out of EVERYTHING for the following two weeks.

We’re not talking cars, clothes, and shoes here, we mean hair, faces, feet, toes, bellybuttons and everywhere in between – especially when your little ones have been covering themselves in it all day long.

Not to worry! We have the answer… and you probably already have a bottle lying around the house so it won’t even cost you.

Baby powder… is there anything it can’t do?

Yes, good old fashioned baby powder can be an absolute life-saver when it’s time to head home after a long day on the beach.  You can simply throw it on and watch in awe as it sucks up all the moisture from your skin allowing the sand to basically fall off your hair, feet, legs, and anywhere else you may need it. 

More time for sunbathing!
