We are officially Florida people! We got our license and passports yesterday and #floridaman and #floridababy crushed their pictures. It all feels very real, and we are so happy we made this move. It has been an incredible journey so far and we haven't even ripped out those kitchens in
Joie Inn
yet! It's going to be a blast.
What I love most about living here is a slower way of life, and I am reminded continuously to breathe and take moments to just live. We have been spending so much time on the sand and taking lunch breaks or sunset walks on the beach, which was a huge draw to living and raising our littles here. Needless to say, we are adapting well to the beach life, so I am sharing my essentials - what I grab and go with or what I always have on hand!
Insulated Beach Bag:
I bought a few of these for the Inn and they have been perfect - plus you can make the straps a tote OR a backpack - genius.
Beach Tote:
For towels, sunscreen, snacks that don't need refrigeration...I love Target for a simple, everyday, throw around tote.
Blue Jay Bikes:
These are so fun and we have a couple coming for the Inn and I couldn't be more excited!
Deodorant:
You agree it's the best! I shared
@sin_min
on stories a few weeks back and so many of you have purchased and said just how much you love it. It is truly the best!
Kove speaker:
Perfect for any outdoor activity, it's bluetooth and you can use it as one piece or break it into two! Use code ashleypetrone

Beach Wagon:
Love
these
from Target and Costco has a great one too! I bought a few for Joie so everyone can bring stuff down to the beach easily!
chairs
Beach Tent for Foxi:
This is ahmazing - it is so easy to pop up and break down and Foxi is comfortable and shaded - we love it.
Umbrella:
This is easy to tote and you know I love a good black and white moment.
Sunhat:
Target always has great options that are affordable so I don't feel bad if they get wet
Swimsuits:
Shared all my go to's
here
I live in
these tanks
all year round, but they are perfect for Spring & Summer months!
Sandals:
These are my fave because they go with everything, they are waterproof and they come in the best colors!
Sunglasses:
My two faves
here
- they are durable and I just love Warby's fun shapes.
Beach Towels:
We always have a lot of inexpensive Target ones on hand! And I love
@ofonesea
towels! They are making some for the Inn and I am so excited!
Fave beach snacks/drinks:
School Yard Snacks
[ use code Petrone10 for 10% off ]
and
Ollipop
[ use code Arrows for 15% off ]
are my faves lately - I can have bags and bags of School Yard Snacks in one sitting - they are so addicting. Plus they are keto, low sugar and high protein! And Ollipop is a natural soda so you get that taste without all the sugar. So good.
