  • Our favorite sandy beaches across the US. What are yours?

    by Laurie O'Hara
    Check out some of our favorite sandy beaches across the US and don’t forget Beach Be Gone. It’s the best substitute for the outdoor showers! Everyone loves a good sandy beach where you can lay your towel down and relax, but when it comes time to go, it’s not fun to get that pesky sand off your feet. It seems like sand almost never comes out of your car, so leave the sand at the beach with Olita Beach Be Gone body powder. Our revolutionary powder gets the sand off your feet, legs, arms, hands - and skin anywhere - with just a couple shakes. We sell it in a variety of exotic scents, including one for kids.
