For this weeks Friends Friday Katie of Modly Chic wants to know…what do fashion bloggers take with them to the beach or pool?

1. You're headed to the beach/pool, what's in your bag? 

If I'm not wearing it…my swimsuit, a towel, a good book or magazine (usually both), my i-pod, a ton of water, sunscreen, lipbalm, and a water spray (I love the Evian one) Oh and snacks!

2. Be honest… how do you feel about sunscreen? How often do you put it on?

I have not been diligent enough about sun screen in the past – I don't burn easily, so I tend to forget about it easily as well, which is neither big nor clever. I am trying to be much better about that. I'm using moisturisers with SPF in them all the time now and using sunscreen when I know I'm going to be in the sun for an elongated period of time.

3. Do you have any sunburn remedies?

I don't! I have literally burned twice in my life and I had no idea what to do! I've heard aloe vera is good….

4.
Do you use sunless tanning products? Which do you use, why is it your favorite?

I very rarely do as I get quite tan easily, I'd used St Tropez in the past but recently I got to try a whole slew of products as part of the tried and tested series we did for 'Get Summer Ready' and I really loved Solerra Bronzing Mitts and Infinity Sun's Spray tan – Jergens was pretty good too – and cheap!

5. The best part about the beach is…

The smell, the salt spray mixed with sunscreen, and hot skin – the smell of summer, and I love feeling the sand between my toes.
