Packing List

If you all have been around here for a while you know that I used to post packing lists all the time... Like, once a month almost!  I looked at my "Universal Packing List" I had listed one day and realized it was in desperate need of an update definitely NOT universal!  I recently posted a college packing list, but that still isn't really the same thing as just a vacation packing list!  I needed a new one of those!  And that, my darlings, is how we arrived back here, at my original inspiration for creating my blog, the packing list.

 This one is in no way "universal," but it encompasses a lot of things that I like to have and make me comfortable while I'm on vacation.  I dan't pack all of this every time, and to be honest if I do pack it all there is always something I end up not using, but I was happy to have it regardless.  So keep in mind, these are just my suggestions!

Toiletries
These are my favorite things to pack, I always pack so much more than I need though!  Just for reference,  I can generally fit almost all of this in one of the hanging cases with pockets that roll up.
  • Teeth
    • Toothbrush
    • Toothpaste
    • Mouthwash
    • Floss (but let's be honest, if I'm not flossing at home, I'm not flossing ofn vacation...)
  • Hair
    • Bring whatever hair products you use on a normal basis, try not to bring too many “Just In Case” things.  I would bring things like Mousse, Hair Spray, Leave-in Conditioner, and Dry Shampoo.
    • Wide-tooth Comb
    • Brush
    • Hair Straightener/Curling Iron/Blow Dryer
  • Body Lotion/Aloe
  • Perfume
  • Skincare products
    • Oil Blotting Sheets
    • Makeup Remover Wipes
    • Toner
    • Facial Wash
    • Facial Scrub
    • Face/Eye Cream
    • Spot Treatment
  • If needed, Contacts, Case, Solution, and/or Glasses
  • Deodorant
  • Q-Tips
  • Shower Gel
  • Body Scrub
  • Shampoo and Conditioner
  • Bath Pouf
  • Razor and Shave Gel
  • If you use any of this on a regular basis… Nail File, Nail Polish Remover, Nail Clips, and Colored Nail Polish.  Don't bring it if you don't normally use it!
  • Medication, over the counter and prescription
  • Emergency Kit (pack things like bandaids, ice packs, gauzes, alcohol swabs... easy fixes for minor injuries.)

Makeup
I always pack too much makeup...
  • Base Makeup
    • Primer
    • Foundation/BB Cream
    • Spot Concealer
    • Under Eye Concealer
    • Powder
  • Cheeks/Contour
    • Bronzer
    • Highlight
    • Blush
  • Eyeshadow (Maybe try to stick to one palette you can get multiple looks out of instead of many individual eyeshadows.) 
  • Eyeliner
  • Mascara
  • Lips
    • Lipbalm
    • Lipgloss
    • Lipstick
  • Tools
    • Brushes (Foundation, Blush, Contour, Powder, Eyeshadow, etc.)
    • Tweezers
    • Eyeliner Pencil Sharpener 


Clothing
  • Bras (Bralettes/Bandeaus, Strapless, etc. depending on the clothing you packed.)
  • Panties, always pack extra of these!  You can never have too many!
  • Fuzzy Socks (A personal necessity for me! But I guess you could also pack normal ones...)
  • Pajamas 
  • Baseball Cap/Sun Hat depending on where you are going and/or your style.
  • Shoes (Sandals, Tennis Shoes, Boots, etc.)
  • Bathing Suit/Cover up
  • Workout Clothing (If that is your thing…)
  • An outfit for each day of the trip with items that can be mixed and matched so you can keep your suitcase as light as possible.  If it makes you more comfortable pack one extra outfit, but try to stick to only one!
  • A dress if you are going out somewhere nice one night.
  • A Belt

Other
  • Electronics
    • Laptop and Charger
    • Phone and Charger
    • Earbuds
    • External Phone Battery and Cord
    • Camera
  • Planner/Pens/Stickers
  • Book(s)/Magazines
  • Blanket and Pillow
  • Sunglasses
  • Wallet
  • Purse
If you ever want to find this post again it will be resuming its rightful place at the top of the page under the header "Packing List."  I hope this helped you all out and gave you an idea of what to pack of your next trip.  Happy travels!

Emerald Isle Pics

I have been asked to post some more of my personal pictures of Emerald Isle since the last post I made, I actually haven't had the opportunity to go back since I got my new camera (and laptop) so I don't have any current pictures. I do happen to have some pictures of the beach (it was early spring and early in the morning, so they are kind of bland) that we went to on a school trip that is just a short distance up the island.  I hope you like them!! :) I PROMISE I will post some more (better ones) as soon as I can!

Walmart Beauty Box: Fall

I have been getting the Walmart Beauty Brandshare Box for two seasons now, and I really like it!  It is a $5 quarterly subscription, and you more than get your money's worth! This was my view as soon as I opened the box... I was already super excited!  There was so much stuff! The first thing I had to grab was this razor, because I was so excited to see it! Razors can be expensive, and I was sent this one for a fraction of a dollar! I have been using since receiving it, and it is a really nice razor.  It gives a close shave, but hasn't cut me.  It also has built in shave gel to give another layer of protection! I have owned this hairspray before, and it works pretty well, but it's not my favorite.  Overall though, it doesn't have a horrible smell and is a nice size! This self tanner looks a little orange and is a bit to glittery for my liking... I really enjoy Jergens self-tanner, and I like a certain amount of shimmer on my legs,...
