Many moms struggle with the beach. Now, this is mostly because wrangling your kids together, keeping them safe, making sure they stay hydrated and have enough sunscreen, and all the rest, is a job all in itself. If you also don’t feel the best in your own body, then that just adds to the problem pile.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can absolutely feel great at the beach; all you need to do is use these top tips.
Choose Swimwear that Supports Your Body
If you don’t feel comfortable in your swimwear because it feels like you’re falling out of it in any way, simply switch it out. There are SPF swimwear options in high-waisted, tankini, or one-piece styles that support your body and help you feel great. Add the fact that they are fashionable, protect you more from sun damage, and are incredibly comfortable, and you have a winning combination.
To pick swimwear that covers all that and more, you’ll want to look for:
- Seamless design, so it doesn’t itch or scratch
- High Spandex content to hug your body
- A supportive, full-coverage design
Invest in a Cute Beach Cover-up for Yourself
Another great way to feel fashionable and put together when you go on the beach is to invest in a beautiful beach cover-up. This simple dress can be used as a light coat, as a dress, as a towel, or even as a cover so you can get in and out of your wet bathing suit ASAP. It’s also something so easy to bring and makes it easier to transition from the beach to the town.
Create a Beach Travel Pack
Get a large box or wheeled cart and put all your beach essentials into it. This includes things like your chairs, umbrella, and cooler. Essentially, you want your beach items to be a breeze to take from your garage to your car, from your car to the beach in as little steps as possible. If it is easy to do, you won’t struggle, work up a sweat and end up overheated and irritated by the time you finally get set up.
Invest in a Great Chair
A truly comfortable chair that doesn’t bite into your skin is comfy to sit and lie down on, and one that is breathable will make such a massive difference to your beach experience. If you can feel good lounging on the beach, your mood will improve, and you’ll immediately feel better.
Take Every Shortcut
If your kids struggle to stay put while you put sunscreen on them, choose a spray instead or get them into full-body swimwear. If you want to make lunches easier, opt for pre-packed and pre-cut snacks. Take every shortcut when it comes to getting ready for the beach so that it takes less effort and less hassle.
This is the easiest way to reclaim your time and comfort and have fun at the beach. Do that while feeling good and looking good, and you’ll immediately make the beachgoing experience amazing for yourself and, as a result, your kids!
