Beach Bag MVP . . .

Baby Powder.  Plain and simple it is the most important item in my beach bag - after sunblock of course.  I realized it's importance as we were cleaning off the sand to come home from our beach visits this week and my son asked, "Where's the baby powder?"

At the end of the day we stop by the outdoor showers to rinse off the sand.  It works for our arms and legs, but as soon as you step off the shower platform you step back into the sand.  As far as I'm concerned, back to square one.

Once you are as dry as possible, all you do is sprinkle some baby powder into your hands and swipe over your body where there is sand.  It will simply wipe away.  Although I love the beach, I used to dread going because of the cleanup at the end of the day.  This trick has really made it easier and more enjoyable.  Give it a try next time you are at the beach.
