When it’s pool party time I bring out this picnic basket loaded with items to survive Arizona’s brutal sun.

Hats, flip flops, sunglasses and sunscreen are just a few things I keep in this basket ($5.59) from Goodwill just in case one of my guests needs protection from the sun. Once the guests are gone, all I have to do is close it up, store it in the closet and it will be ready for the next group.

It’s going to be 111 degrees in Phoenix today and I’m going to lather on the sunscreen and take many dips in the pool today! Only 100 more days of blistering heat, ugh!

Stay cool,

The Goodwill Gal
