Next time you look in your closet and you start thinking 'Socks with sandals works in cold weather right?' or 'Polyester is cool.' or 'Where are my pleated pants?' realize you may start a shriekfest far more horrifying than that creepy girl in The Ring.

Now that the “unofficial start of summer” is officially behind me I am officially getting my game face on for fun in the sun aka a beach trip. Back when I had control of my life my beach routine went something like this: wake up early (around 10 or so to get the good morning sun), eat some but not too much because I am about to be in a bathing suit for the rest of the day (no one wants to be bloated on the beach), brush my teeth, pack my beach bag, swipe on some gloss, and head out to beach. Once on the beach, my day would go something like this: lay out, get hot and get in water, read, flip, listen to music, get bored, flip, go on a walk (to even out tan), get hot-get in water, read, flip, nap.
