Pool bag, check!

Can you believe we have already hit the end of May and summer is almost here? I know it is not technically summer quite yet, but I think it is safe to declare that after Memorial Day, my brain goes into a summer frame of mind. I am immediately ready for grilling every night, porch sitting, dog walks, farmer's market veggies and the pool. Oh lord yes, the pool! My physique may not be ready for the pool, or a bathing suit, but every other ounce of my being is. I can sit out at the pool all.day.long. Give me a good book, some snacks and my Tervis Tumbler filled with gin and soda, and I am as happy as a clam! 

This past weekend I had to dig out the ol' pool/beach bag from the scary crawlspace in our master closet and give it a quick tune up. It is always fun to see what remnants are left over from the year prior. This year my collection included bottle caps, an empty Corona bottle, snack bags, sand, a million koozies, 2 bathing suite straps and like 6 semi used bottles of sunscreen. Clearly, I just shoved this bag into it's hiding space last year and never bothered to clean it out - oh well.... I never said I was a neat freak!

The above items are my must haves for any successful pool day. I am absolutely loving my Turkish towel these days. It is rather large when unfolded but does not take up a ton of room in my bag. It is super quick drying and works perfectly as a quick cover up. I do find that since the fabric is a bit thinner, I tend to use my towel clips more and more. And who doesn't love a good snack while lounging? Pirates Booty is simply the best and goes great with gin. 

Now, my bag is super clean and just waiting for a good trip to the pool. My schedule is free this Sunday, if anyone would like for me to tag along with them.
{hint hint}

What am I missing? Who has a good recommendation for face sunscreen? I am in need of a few new cover-ups, any ideas? 

See y'all lovelies tomorrow!
