Stranded

I'm linking up with Lena of Mom2MemphisAndRuby to bring you my incredibly superficial list of ten things that I'd need with me if I were stranded on an island. And by "stranded on an island", I mean staying at a resort for a few days on a beautiful tropical island with the Hubs, while the kids are being happily taken care of by their Grammy. ;)


Stranded on an Island



1.  A bright little swimsuit, for lounging around in the sun;
2.  A cute pair of sandals that I can easily slide in and out of, for all of those dips into the ocean;
3.  A pretty little sundress, for going out to dinner;
4.  A fabulous pair of wedges to go with the sundress and to show off my tanned legs (from all that basking in the sun);
5.  Sunglasses, for the obvious reasons; ;)
6.  Mascara, because this mama needs mascara, always;
7.  A little bit of easy reading;
8.  Aquafina... because it is the best bottled water ever.; =)
9.  Carmex. It keeps my lips from chapping and makes my lips look oh so shiny and pretty; and
10.  Last, but most certainly not least, sunscreen! To ward off sunburns and skin cancer and wrinkles! =)

What would you bring with you on a deserted island . . . or a tropical getaway, if you interpret the question the way I did? ;)

Cute post :) Definitely sunscreen, sunglasses and chapstick would be at the top of the list. Throw in a few adult cocktails and it would be a perfect tropical getaway. Heather

Sunscreen...that didn't make my list..but it should have..I would fry! Diet coke and chocolate were just too important!

Well you definitely are thinking appropriately if you are stranded on an island. Water, sunblock...I am impressed!

Hmmm, as a mom to teen girls, I would not use "stranded" for being left alone on an island - more like "blissfully swept away" :P

Very good read, too.

so i decided not to read the rest of the Hunger games. but everytime i see the other books i want to. hmmm.

oh yeah, wedges will help you get around real comfortably on a deserted island. ; )

and i love all your picks! you are so fun.

I just bought a very similar bathing suit in pale blue- it's my first one piece in over a decade but it's flirty and fun! We share the same fave mascara but I'm going to have to disagree with you and say that Fiji makes the best water-albeit a bit expensive!

ha ha! AWesome things for a "stranded" emergency. Love it!

Great list! I would definitely have to have sunscreen on my list (only SPF 50).
