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!

Ipsy: June

So guys... I resubscribed to Ipsy!  Since I was back to having a summer job I figured I could spare $10 a month!  And so far, this bag wasn't the best, but I updated my profile so it will take a minute for them to readapt. The bag this month though... It is on my swap site on MySubscriptionAddiction if you want it!  Needless to say, I wasn't impressed. This is the Kokie nail polish in the color Gone Rio.  I hadn't ever heard of this brand before, but the packaging is adorable!  Apparently you can buy it at Walmart for around $5.  The color is a really nice orange-y coral and it has a decent lasting power considering how rough I am on my nails!  Overall I liked it and I would buy from this brand again. This is the City Color Shimmer Shadow in the color Cheers to Life.  It is a pretty basic sandy brown with a ton of shimmer, obviously!  City Color isn't my favorite brand to get because it is fairly cheap and the products are ki...

Spring Break 2016

Well I just finished an extremely short Spring Break... I was only given two days last week! Isn't that sad?  But hey, I had the most of it! I started out Spring Break (on Wednesday night) with a bonfire for my friend's birthday!  We have the perfect bonfire spot beside a river, and in the river lives otters!  It was too dark to see them that night, but they are my favorite animal, and I am looking foreward to many Summer bonfires with our otter friends!  I have never really been into the whole eno hammock thing, but my friend brought a double so I though, why not??  It was surprisingly comfortable, and we had a lot of fun celebrating her birthday together! But now the main event of Spring Break... On Thursday Maze (my boyfriend) and I went to a Flogging Molly concert in Charlotte!   But first I made him take me to South Park Mall, because it looked insane!!  And it was, though it took longer to get to Charlotte than we thought it wo...
