There are so many things that you need to wear and bring for your beach trip. If you are not too sure on what to bring, here is a checklist that might help you out to stay fashionable and comfortable at the same time.

Don’t forget to bring your swimsuits. Of course, this will never be absent in your tote bags! Aside from wearing a cute two-piece bikini or a sophisticated one piece, you need to make sure that you stay comfortable from the environment and from the sun. Wearing a tankini is also a good option.

Now, when we talk about environment, there are a couple of things that you need protection from. First, from the sun. If you are dark skinned that has enough melatonin to protect you from the scorching rays, you are one lucky gal!

But if you are fair skinned, you will need some more protection. You can bring a huge beach hat to protect your face, sunglasses to protect your eyes, and of course, a cover up. This will not only protect your skin from the sun, but this will also make you feel a bit more at ease if you are not too comfortable with people looking at your body.

We all know the harmful things UV rays can bring. For you to protect your skin, bring some sunscreen or sunblock should never be forgotten. It is a must for you to bring at least the SPF 50+ kind.

Water. There is no harm in buying bottled water. But if you want to save some bucks, you can simply bring your own water jug and stay hydrated all day. Staying under the heat of the sun can really make everybody thirsty. For you to enjoy your beach trip, you should drink plenty of water.

Bring playing cards. Cards are one of the most convenient games anyone can play outdoors. If you want to take a break from the sun, you can gather your friends up and play some cards under a shade.

Always bring extra clothes. Unless you live next to the beach, some extra clothes will keep you dry after enjoying your beach trip. Always make sure that you are dry if you need to travel afterwards. Wearing wet clothes for a particular time can make you sick. So make sure you have this inside your bag.

Do not forget your mobile phone. Of course how could you forget your i-phone when you go to the beach? It is a must as you can take selfies and show your social friends online how beautiful and happy your are.

Extra cash is also needed. In case of an emergency, you can use your extra cash to buy more water. Or you can use your extra cash to buy some snacks on your beach trip.

Last but not least if may be a good idea to use some fruit and light snacks before you hit the hot sand. If your sexy silhouette is flawless by nature, make sure to bring some of these items in order to not gain a few pounds by eating the ice cream offered by local vendors, refreshing but fattening too.

There are two main mobile operating systems in the market today. The first is Apple’s iOS, which has become very popular and is found on every single Apple device. The second is Android, which is used on Google phones and has become extremely popular in the past few years.

Initially, Android was created by Android Inc., which Google backed financially when it was first being developed, and then which they bought in 2005. In 2007, Android was officially unveiled and the HTC Dream became the first phone to have the Android operating system on it, debuting on Oct. 22, 2008.

What is it?

The Google Android system uses direct manipulation, with touch inputs that correspond with real-world actions. These include swiping, tapping and pinching on the screen. Within the hardware of the system, there are accelerometers, proximity sensors and gyroscopes for various apps in the Play Store that use those items.

On the home screen, Android users can customize their home screens with shortcuts to applications and widgets. This allows the user to display live content, including e-mails and weather information, on the home screen itself. Applications can also send notifications to the user.

While it is found mostly on tablets and phones, it has also been integrated on game consoles, digital cameras, various electronics and televisions.

Is it popular?

Android operating systems are sold more than the Windows, iOS and Mac OS devices combined. In the third quarter of 2013, the share of the market of smartphones that Android controlled was 81.3 per cent. This is the highest ever for the operating system. That same year, there were over one million apps in the Google Play store, and there were 50 billion apps downloaded. For mobile developers, 71 per cent stated in a survey in 2013 that they use the Android Operating system.

In total, one billion Android devices have been activated.

What makes it better?

Why has Android taken over so much of the market? What makes it more popular than every single mobile OS combined on the market? Why do the vast majority of users use Android? There are several reasons:

2. While the iOS keyboard is good, you get many more keyboard options with Android. There are several different types of keyboards that you can use, so they match any sort of typing style.
3. Android is highly customizable and you can customize it any way you like. You can even download any form of iOS 7 theme that you want, so you get the exact look that you want. So no more hair loss issues because of unavailable features.
4. When you put your Android system into a computer, as in plugging it in through a USB drive, you see a file system just like the one that you see with your computer. This is not found with an iOS system, which doesn’t allow you to do that.
5. iOS does have good notifications, but Android is much better in terms of how it notifies you of things. You can see everything you need in the notification drawer and you can take action and determine what you want to do with that application ahead of time.
6. Your contact list allows you to import photos of your contacts so that you can have your photos set the way you want them. Again, you have full customizability.
7. One great feature is that you can have multiple users on one Android tablet. You can share your tablet with others in your office or your home. You cannot do that with an iPad.
8. With Google Now, you get a much better version of Siri. Siri only searches on Bing, while Google Now of course searches on Google.
9. For Google’s Android system, it doesn’t matter where your music came from. You can play the music you want, no matter what.
10. There are more free applications available through Google’s Play Store, many more than compared to what you find with iOS and the App Store.
11. You can unlock your phone any number of ways including through slide, a face unlock, pattern, PIN or password.

With so many great features with Google Android, you are getting a greater bang for your buck when you compare it with any other operating system.
