summer travel essentials

Are you traveling this summer?

You probably stand there looking at your empty suitcase thinking about all the things you want to bring to the beach with you. To make your life easier, and to share some of my favorite products with you, here are my favorite items for every summer vacation.

IN YOUR LUGGAGE

Please please please… bring a carry on. You never know when your luggage could be lost so better safe than sorry!

• Book: this is great for the airplane, sitting by the beach, and just allows you to destress from technology

• Headphones: hate airplane noises? me too.

• Snacks: If you have given yourself a traveling budget, this can help! Airport food/snacks are always expensive and can ruin your budget.

• Gum/Mints: you never know if you’ll run into someone ;)

• Sunglasses: A summer vacation isn’t the same without your favorite pair of sunnies

• Packing Cubes: This is the number 1 thing I use. This helps separate your outfits as well as just keeping everything organized.

• Dry Shampoo: The salt water/pool can take a toll on your hair, to save yourself from washing it every night, bring this.

FOR THE BEACH/POOL

• Sunscreen: protect yourself & your skin

• Face Sunscreen: a thin but effective face sunscreen will help your face from getting oily and too dry from the salt water!

• Lip Balm: moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.

• Insulated Water Bottle: If you’re like me, you carry around your favorite water bottle everywhere! This is the one place you will want to have it on those hot relaxing days.

• Swimsuit: self explanatory, right?

• Sandals: The perfect swimsuit isn’t complete with the perfect pair of sandals to match.

• Cover up: This will help incase you get too much sun and need your body to take a rest

• Beach Hat: protect your skin & your eyes

• Beach Towel: The airbnb might not provide these so bring one just in case!
