Zutano Baby Acessories for Summer and Winter

Zutano is a great company for your baby and toddler outfits and Acessories.  We were first introduced to them when we received a pair of Zutano Baby Cozie Booties from a friend upon the arrival of Baby BeautyFreckled.  They were the most amazing booties ever.  So amazing that when she grew out of them we immediately ordered a second pair in a bigger size.  They were the only thing that stayed on her little tootsies and since she's an October baby - we needed to make sure those tootsies stayed warm!  The two button snaps really keep them secure.  It also assures a great fit as they grow into them as well.

Zutano Cozie Booties

If we ever have baby number two, I'll be getting the matching Cozie Hat.  I am already scoping out their toddler section and their Cozie Fleeces and mittens for fall and spring!

When it comes to summer, we all want to make sure baby's sensitive skin is protected, right?  I originally had a floppy sun hat with SPF in it, but the brim was so huge that Baby Beauty didn't love wearing it.  She lets us put a GAP baseball cap (from the baby GAP outlet) on her last summer so we figured that was better than nothing.

Enter the Zutano Baby Sun Hats.  The colors I got were: Orchid, Rainbow Candy Stripe, and Flower Shower.  They're all 100% cotton and super soft (much softer than the hat with SPF we previously had).

Zutano Sun Hats

These washed so well and really held up.  Baby Beauty wore the Rainbow Candy Stripe hat in her baby pool for hours this Saturday and even let me tie it around her chin.  She loved the hat and kept it on for hours.  It protected her face and shoulders but didn't get in the way at all. 

Ever since these hats arrived she has been pulling all of them out of her hat drawer and putting them on herself and parading around while playing in her room.  I guess this means they're baby tested and approved!

We love both the Sun Hats and Cozie Booties and would recommend them to anyone with babies of any age!  We wish we had these sun hats two years ago for our toddler!

Disclaimer: Zutano was kind enough to send me three sun hats for review purposes.  I wasn't otherwise compensated to write this review or paid for a positive review.  All reviews are 100% honest.

Beach Bag Essentials

☀️A big beach bag
I made this one from the Bernat Cottage Bag pattern {shown in picture}.  I also like the Medano Beach pattern.

The LL Bean Boat and Tote bags are a favorite as well.  I love customizing the strap colors and monogram text and thread color.  I love a good monogram!

☀️Neutrogena Beach Defense Sunscreen Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 30
Smells like pineapple {shown in picture}!  This doesn't leave any greasy feeling upon application and protects my freckles amazingly.

☀️Aveeno Protect + Hydrate - SPF 30

I use this on my face, it's not as greasy and doesn't clogs pores {shown in picture}.  They used to make a specific face version that looked exactly the same so I have just stick with this fory face and still love it.

☀️Banana Boat Deep Tanning Oil - SPF 15

Tanning is a big no-no for me, but I use this if its not midday or too much crazy sun out.  I like that the oil gives a moisturizing effect and it smells great {shown in picture}.

☀️Australian Gold Continuous Spray with Bronzer SPF 30 or Spray Gel with Bronzer SPF 15
I love the protection these give and the bronze boost they add to your skin.  Tan in a bottle!  With SPF!

☀️Chapstick Active with SPF 25-50

Neutrogena Lip Moisturizer with SPF 15

Hawaiian Tropic Lip Balm Stick Sunscreen with SPF 45+
I am a bit addicted to chapsticks in general and always have a good handful or two in my purse.  I love protecting every part of my skin I can, so having a chapstick with SPF is a great option for moisturizing and protecting my lips at the same time.

☀️Nalgene Water Bottle - filled with water (I have many but my favorite is a Life is Good one that is blue with a yellow sun that's no longer available but this one is similar)

☀️Books: Wheel of Time, Game of Thrones {shown in picture}.  I am never without a book and the beach is one of my favorite places to read.  I don't get nearly as much reading done now that we have Baby BeautyFreckled running around the beach with us, but we love watching her play!

☀️Towel - I love my koi towel from Target

☀️Backpack Chairs - similar to these.  Great if you have to walk from a parking lot.  We have a drive on pass now, but always keep these in our car.

 

☀️Foldable Blanket from Picnic Time - ours is similar to this one and was a gift with our names embroidered on it.

BONUS:

☀️👧🏻 For our Baby BeautyFreckled:
Babyganics Mineral-Based Baby Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50
We have been so pleased with this sunscreen.  It's not greasy and it doesn't run and get in her eyes.  We will definitely continue to use the Babyganics brand.
