If you’re packing for your upcoming vacation to Florida’s sunny beaches, there’s more to think about than your wardrobe and toiletries.

If you’re packing for your upcoming vacation to Florida’s sunny beaches, there’s more to think about than your wardrobe and toiletries. In fact, there are a few must-have accessories that many visitors just wouldn’t think about. Below are some of the accessories that Florida natives insist you should bring with you on vacation. 

Silicone Cosmetic Bag

You certainly have your choice when it comes to makeup bags. From cheap plastic to luxurious suede, there’s no shortage of options. Florida natives have discovered the incredible convenience afforded by silicone cosmetic bags, and most who try them say they’ll never go back. These roomy and flexible bags are made with phthalate-free silicone and contain no BPA or PVC. The best part is that they wipe clean with a little mild soap and water, and if they get really dirty, they’re dishwasher safe! 

About Face makes some of the best silicone bags in the industry, and the cheeky sayings printed on the bags make them conversation starters. The “Success Is The Only Option Because I Love Expensive Makeup” bag printed on a beautiful blue-gray background tells a simple (but true) story, and it holds a great deal of that expensive makeup, too.

Metallic Flip-Flops

Everyone loves (and needs) a good flip-flop for walking along the sandy beaches, but not just any flip-flop will do. Metallic sandals are on trend this summer, and while there are numerous options available, the Rose Gold flip-flop by Solei Sea is a crowd favorite. Unlike cheap box store flip-flops, these come with a cushioned footbed that offers exceptional arch support. You can feel good when you buy them because the outsoles are recycled and the upper is made with quality vegan leather.  If rose gold isn’t your thing, they’re also available in classic metallic silver. 

Lotions

The Florida climate is hot and humid in the summer, so the hand and body lotion you use at home may not be suitable for vacation. For a real treat – and one you’ll want to stock up on before you head back home – check out the Naples Soap Co. hand and body lotion. It comes in truly tantalizing scents, including Honey Almond, Pineapple Mango, and Florida Fresh. They are all-natural lotions featuring aloe, jojoba oil, vitamin E, sunflower oil, and a variety of other moisturizers that leave your hands and body feeling soft, supple, and glowing. 

A Jacket or Wrap

Despite Florida’s reputation for high humidity and extreme heat, many visitors are surprised by their first night out on the water. Being out on a boat after dark is a vibe that you definitely want to experience, but not without a cozy jacket or wrap. The winds blowing across the water at night can be downright chilly. Either the Dani linen jacket by Spartina or the Jezil denim jacket by Velvet Heart offers lightweight protection from the chill of the open night air. If you prefer something with more upscale class, you can’t go wrong with a cashmere topper. They come in a wide range of colors and they can be worn in dozens of different ways. 

When packing for your vacation, don’t forget the essentials. Your favorite swimwear and some good SPF are great places to start, but you’ll soon discover that a nice lotion, a jacket, some metallic flip-flops, and a silicone cosmetic bag will serve you well during your time in Florida.
