National Beach Day on Daytime Chicago

We celebrate National Beach Day on WGN’s Daytime in Chicago. Whether you need a FAB beach bag under $25 or looking for the perfect dress that will take you from the shore to a sunset dinner??? We’ve got all sorts of glam to take you to the beach and beyond.

Let’s be real when shopping for a beach bag we need to go big and lightweight. Something that is water and sand proof is a bonus too.

Wanna keep frizz under control and look super sleek by sunset? I am obsessed with Garnier’s Glass Hair Water! Obsessed!

I know the entire team here at Daytime are HUGE fans of COTZ Sun products. So it only made sense to add this ultra-portable BRAND NEW Sun stick to our beach day fun.

I never want to leave the beach once I arrive. So I plan in advance and pack everything I need to head straight out after the sun goes down. That includes some wipes and I’m not talking about the ones meant for my baby. I pack a mommy version.

PRICE: $5.59
SHOP: @queenVLife.com
• Refreshing wipes you can use every day for a pHun time at home or on the go. 
• Use them after an intense (or not so intense) workout, during that time of the month, post-sex, while you’re killing it at work or after a long travel day. 
• Each wipe is formulated without harsh ingredients because your V deserves to have a cranVerrrrry good time. 

And you’ll never go wrong with the perfect packable dress for a day at the beach and then onto dinner with the family!
