Scenario: You find yourself done with classes a lil early one day and you have nothing to do. You also find that you haven’t eaten much and you’re kinda hungry. A couple of your best friends are in the same boat. What would you do?

Here at distraction, we have the perfect idea for you. Have yourself a mini daycation and hit the beach with your best picnic set up! For an occasion like this, we like to pack lightly as it’d be a couple friends who are just kinda hungry. You don’t want to have too much food, but you also don’t wanna have too little. Snacks like like chips and dip, or toasted naan with tzatziki are perfect! A couple of ice cold drinks such as iced tea, or aloe juice (my all time favorite), also go a long way. So pack a cooler full of these essentials, grab your favorite beach towel, hit up your best buds, snag the speaker, and head to your favorite beach in the area.

Tip

If you have empty water bottles lying around, fill em with water and freeze. Line the bottom of your cooler with these to keep your contents cold. Will save you the money you would have spent on a bag of ice from the store. Once the water has melted, you also have perfectly cold iced water to drink.
