Everybody loves the beach. (If you don’t, then we can’t be friends). But nobody likes bringing the beach back home with them! We never thought about how much sand a towel carries until we compared it with a Tesalate sand-free towel. Absorbent, quick-drying, compact and sand-free, once you have one of these in your beach kit, we promise you won’t want to go back to an ordinary towel. Choose from an array of bright, graphic prints and soon, you’ll be the envy of fellow beach goers.
We have the Bohemian Towel For Two. Shop the range of Tesalate Towels here.
In recent times, marine research has confirmed the devastating effects of toxic chemicals in sunscreen on life under the sea. Two common ingredients, oxybenzone and octinoxate, are believed to contribute to coral bleaching. Other ingredients to avoid are petrolatum and titanium dioxide.
I visited a couple of chain pharmacies and unfortunately only found brands which included at least one of the above ingredients. Given that the beach is a large part of the Aussie lifestyle, sunscreen is necessary. With further research, we’ll be making the switch to a reef-safe sunscreen to reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible, on land and in the water.
If you’ve found a particular brand that you’d recommend, be sure to let me know!
Of course, you need a bag that is both stylish and large enough to cart all your beach necessities from car boot to the beach. I’ve got my eye on this Ellen and James Pearl Large Round bag, which no doubt could fit a book, water bottle, sunscreen, wallet, sunglasses and headphones – at a minimum! Their unique pieces are handwoven in East Bali with material called “ati”, a grass reed grown in Bali. Given the handcrafted nature of the process, no two bags will ever be the same, so you’re guaranteed a one-of-a-kind product that will last you for years.
