The Kinivo Mini Portable Speaker is a must have gadget for your beach bag. For under $20, you can play tunes anywhere you go. This is the cutest little speaker! I don’t know about you, but my beach bag is always full to the brim, so I love that the pocket-sized Kinivo is lightweight and hardly takes up any space at all. 

The rechargeable battery lasts a long time – average play time is 6 hours. The battery charges pretty quickly – it took mine less than 2 hours to fully charge. The mini speaker has a cord that connects to your device so you can play your music. (Speaker is not BlueTooth-enabled.) A carrying case and USB charging cord comes with the Kinivo speaker.

Compatibility: Kinivo Mini Portable Speaker is compatible with all iPhones, iPods, iPads, MP3 players, CD players, Laptops, Tablets and other music devices with a 3.5mm audio socket, Android smartphones (HTC, all Droids, Samsung) and Blackberry smartphones.

I was impressed that such a small speaker could produce decent quality sound. If you want even louder sound, simply connect several Kinivo speakers together. It’s really simple to use, and honestly it is so compact, I just love how I can toss it in my beach bag and go. There are 9 different color combos – which one would you pick? All colors are available at Amazon.

We use our Kinivo speaker outside at the community pool, so we don’t need to blast the music too loudly and bug our neighbors. The Kinivo Mini Portable Speaker is just right for our needs.

Other Beach Bag Essentials finding a home in my bag this summer:

As I was saying earlier, we spend a lot of time outdoors at the pool. Sunshine and water can make my eyes become red and irritated. I make them feel so much better with a few drops of VISINE® Original Redness Relief. Visine really soothes and refreshes my eyes.

Something totally new to the makeup world this summer has already made it to my must-have list: Skindinavia’s The Makeup Primer Spray. It has never been easier to put on primer! I love the lightweight spray on formula.  It’s breathable, silicone-free and paraben-free, plus loaded with vitamins and antioxidants. A good primer can prevent summer makeup meltdowns! Use Skindinavia’s Primer Spray to soothe redness, prevent breakouts, control the appearance of oil, even out skin tone and minimize the look of pores. Even when I spend a ton of time outside in the heat, my makeup doesn’t melt off thanks to this primer.

I have been keeping fresh breath with Binaca drops. Just a couple of drops on my tongue gives me a quick blast of cooling mint.
