Here in Southern California, we can be a pretty predictable bunch. Whether you’ve lived here your whole life or you’ve only just arrived and just started calling this place home, there are a few things that we can bet will be inside everyone’s home.
- Reusable Trader Joe’s bags.

- Organic groceries.

- A beach umbrella.

- Flip-flops.

- An outdoor thermometer.

- A fan to cool off the house.

- Sunscreen.

- Aloe vera gel.
flickr/frankieleon On those days when your sunscreen didn’t exactly do the trick or you stayed out in the sun too long, a bottle of aloe vera comes in handy and may also be found hiding somewhere in the house.
- Sunglasses.

- Fresh produce.

- Lemons from a lemon tree.
