Whether its a beachside retreat or poolside paradise, you don’t have to scramble for essentials your kids will need. I’ve got your back with the ultimate packing list that’ll have you feeling like the queen of quick escapes.

Here are my top ten must-have items that’ll make your last minute vacation smooth, stress-free and even enjoyable!

• Water Resistant Beach Blanket – This blanket keeps the sand where it belongs; outside the confines of your lounge zone. Roll it out, plop it down and unwind.
• Silicone Beach Toys – Forget the days of cheap plastic toys that break with a single dig, and contribute to the massive amount of waste our planet generates. Silicone toys are durable, easy to clean and perfect for building a castle fit for a little king (or queen).
• Sunscreen Applicator – This is the best friend you didn’t know you needed. No more battling with sticky sunscreen or letting your spray sunblock dissipate in the wind. This handy applicator ensures you and the kiddos stay sunburn-free with even coverage. Toss it in your bag and enjoy the sun, no fuss!

• Mesh Toy Bag – Keeping beach toys organized and sand-free has never been easier. A mesh bag allows you to rings off the sand quickly and keep all those kid must have items in one place. Less mess means more time for fun in the sun!
• Wet-Dry Bag – Last but certainly not least, a wet-dry bag is essential for managing wet swimsuits and clothes. Keep all those damp clothes and gear contained, making the trip back that much more organized.

• Tablet with Headphones – Real talk, as much as we try to limit screen time and screen exposure, a tablet loaded with videos and games, along with a good set of headphones is a vacation lifesaver. Pro tip – load your profile with that show you’ve been binge watching, or the book you’ve been waiting to read so you can catch up while the little ones nap!
• Fabric Backed Goggles – Comfort is key when it comes to swimming goggles. These fabric backed goggles are gentle to get on and provide a snug fit. No more tangled or pull hair to worry about!
• Diving Toys – If your child is anything like mine, they LOVE the water. Make pool time even more exciting with diving toys that turn a simple swim into an adventure.

My most used and most loved kitchen items this month.

There are a handful of tried and true products that I swear by in the kitchen. Day after day, these are my most used and most loved kitchen items this month.

Lafco Candle

I love LAFCO candles because not only are their toxin free, soy wax fragrances delicious but their handblown glass vessels are beautiful to repurpose after use. I love to burn them in my kitchen and throughout my home.

Stasher Reusable Bags

Perfect for Wesleigh’s camp snacks, these silicone bags are non-toxic, with a pinch-loc seal, plus, they are dishwasher and microwaveable safe. We’ve collected a whole stash of them!

Kitchen Towels

I can’t seem to collect enough tea towels. Garnier Thiebaut is one of my favorite brands and I was so pleased to see they’re available for purchase on Amazon. 100% cotton and imported from France, these towels are machine washable and lovely to display in the kitchen.

Large Wood Bowl

We try to keep healthy snacks on hand, so our wooden bowl is always stuffed with fresh fruit and veggies. A beautiful, large, wood bowl is perfect for serving popcorn, salad or simply countertop organization.

Blue Kitchen Utensil Set

I’ve raved about this set before. I’ve had them for quite some time and they’ve help up extremely well – even through the dishwasher, which I don’t believe is recommended. Easy to clean, and they look cute our on the counter.

The post Five Must Have Kitchen Items from Amazon to Buy Now first appeared on Lindsey Boova.

You probably have noticed I make it a point to source as many sustainable and eco-friendly items as possible. However, there are times when I find myself clicking ‘check out now’ on Amazon to secure that 2-day delivery on a ‘needed yesterday’ type of item.

This month, I’ve started by Amazon Storefront, which I’ll continue to update a few times each month. There are quite a few Amazon favorites that have been my family’s go-to’s that I’m excited to keep all in one simple place for ordering. These favorite items vary from home, fashion and must haves for Wesleigh.

I invite you to share your thoughts in the comments below. Please, let me know what products you’re shopping for most and if you’d be interested in a monthly, Amazon favorites or ‘what I bought from amazon’ series where I share all of my recommended purchases.

| Yves Delorme Etoile Bath Towel Collection / Home |

They say to replace your bath towels approximately every two years but for some reason, I feel we replace ours more frequently. Maybe I should cut back on two/day showers. Our latest towel purchase was these Yves Delorme Etoile Bath Towels; they’re extra soft and plush with a unique star pattern on the dobby.

| Thermos Stainless Steel Straw Bottle / For the Kiddos 

During a recent trip to Walmart, Wes and I picked up this Frozen themed stainless steel Thermos. Highlighting Elsa, Ana and Olaf, it would have been very difficult to not grab this impulse purchase. Turns out, it’s Wesleigh’s new favorite thermos. With a push button lid, pop-up straw and stainless steel interior/exterior, the thermos keeps Wes’ favorite beverage cool even on the warmest summer days.

| Bala Wearable Weights / Wellness |

I recently discovered these Bala Bangles which I feel I’ve been seeing everywhere lately. They are wearable weightsthat add a comfortable resistance to your workout. Available in a few colors and different weights the Bala Bangles are perfect for at home workouts and core training. Shop the 2lb version or the 1lb version.

| OUAI Leave in Conditioner / Beauty |

I grabbed this leave in conditioner from OUAI on a whim about a month ago and I’m so glad about this impulse purchase. I have not used any hot tools in my hair for the majority of quarantine and am thrilled that I grabbed this conditioner. I shower twice a day so this is perfect to spray on my hair each evening when I shower before bed. It acts as a detangler, keeps my hair smooth for the next morning and floral fragrance of bergamot, rose, violet and white musk is fantastic. The product is also not tested on animals and free of parabens, sulfates and phthalates.

| Colorfulkoala Amazon Leggings / Style |

I’ve finally gotten back into a consistent workout routine and have been loving these leggings from Amazon. They provide ultimate support and come in a variety of beautiful colors – what more could you need from a pair of leggings?
