Newswise — As sand lovers gear-up for summer fun, Powder Pouch, LLC and beach volleyball sensation Misty May-Treanor are teaming-up to offer tips that will help ensure beach goers are prepared for their trip to the shore.
"Preparing for a day at the beach is more relaxing when you realize that your supplies don't have to be extensive or expensive, you just need the right mix of the basics," said Jeanine Sofield, Director of Powder Pouch, LLC. "From my days as a beach lifeguard to my current role as a mother of four, I'm still brining the same core supplies, with a few extras for the little ones."
And what are the beach bag must haves that are recommended by May-Treanor and the team at Powder Pouch:
Beach Bag Must Haves:"¢ Frozen water bottle (so you have nice cold water later in the day) "¢ Colorful, unique umbrella (makes it easier to identify your spot on the beach)"¢ Sunscreen (don't forget to reapply)"¢ Lip balm"¢ Shades"¢ Baseball or other hat"¢ Towel"¢ Reading material"¢ Powder Pouch® (to comfortably remove sand)
Add-ins for parents:"¢ Frozen fruit and/or frozen yogurts (the to-go kind work best) "¢ Small inflatable pool (fill it with sea water to give crawlers safe water play out of the surf) "¢ Sand toys (top picks include: watering can, plastic trucks and boats, tennis ball, and pail) "¢ Extra swimming diapers "¢ Extra Powder Pouch just for diaper changing (needs no explaining)
"There's nothing better then spending time on the sand, but that doesn't mean I want to bring it home," said May-Treanor who is teaming-up with Powder Pouch, LLC to show the nation's millions of beach goers that they can love the sand and leave it on the beach. Nearly 30 million people vacationed at ocean beaches in United States during 2006 alone, and each year more than 100 million people are day-visitors at beaches along the nation's coastlines. A beach native, May-Treanor has spent her life with sand in her shoes and has hit beaches around the world. She knows the challenge of removing sand and uses Powder Pouch to keep her comfortable and sand-free.
As May-Treanor knows, there's no better place then the beach to work or play. Time on the shore offers a wide range of health and beauty benefits. In fact, walking barefoot on the sand can strengthen muscles; helps stretch tendons and ligaments; offers a good source of cardiovascular exercise; improves balance; and even exfoliates the skin of your feet. And when it's time to leave, Powder Pouch helps people to leave the sand on the beach instead of in their shoes, cars, and home.
