Helpful Packing Tips For Summer Vacay!

Hello lovelies! I know summer vacation is only a few weeks longer but I thought it would be fun and helpful to write a blog on things you'll need to bring with you and how to pack them in an organizational way. This is my first time going on vacation this summer so I know for a fact there's still some of you that this blog can help! Even if you're just going to a friend's house or somewhere for only  a night.

I just left to Huntington Beach for the week and am going to tell you what I brought and how I packed. My friend, Tatiyana, and I are staying at her Papa and Gram's house so there are a few things that they already have at their house that we didn't need to bring. Things like shampoo/conditioner, towels, toothpaste, etc.

Things you'll need:
  • Loofa
  • Razor
  • Deodorant
  • Brush/travel size brush as well
  • Toothbrush/toothbrush travel container
  • Face wash
  • Makeup wipes
  • Q-tips
  • Lotion(eye lotion as well to take off your eye makeup) 
  • Chapstick/bright lipstick
  • Makeup/makeup bag
  • 7 outfits(even warm clothes if you go out for dinner or anything at night time)
  • At least 2 pairs of sandals(maybe even a pair of tennis shoes)
  • Pajamas(even warm in case it gets really cold where you're staying at night)
  • At least 7 pairs of undies/at least 2 bras
  • At least 2 bathing suits
  • A plastic bag like from Stater Bros to put your dirty clothes in
  • Perfume
  • Hair accessories(hair ties, bows, flower headbands)
  • Beach bag/purse
  • Wallet
  • Phone/phone chargers(house and car)
  • Camera(water proof)/camera charger
  • Ibuprofen
  • Sun glasses
  • Pillow/blanket
  • Laptop/laptop charger
Well by now, your room probably looks like a tornado went through it. But this is only the beginning. Now it's time to pack! *in an organizational manner*
 
First, start off with your suit case, duffle bag, or backpack.
 
Put all of your clothes in one pile(better if folded). Then, put all of your beauty essentials in a pile.
 
It already looks organized doesn't it?
 
I started by rolling up all of my shirts and dresses so that they wouldn't take up so much space. Then I stacked all of my bottoms on top of each other.
 
Now I'm starting to put my things in my duffle bag. I'm starting with the left side. I'm putting my warm clothes(2 pairs of pants, sweatshirt, and flannel) in first. Then putting both pairs of pajamas on top.
 
Then I set all of my bottoms in there.
 
At the very right, I put all of my folded shirts and dresses in.
 
Clothes are packed! Now it's time to pack those beauty products!
 
I got 2 big, plastic baggies. I put deodorant, brush, toothbrush, face wash, perfume, and brush in one baggie. Then, all of my little beauty products like my razor, makeup wipes, q-tips, lotion, and hair accessories in the other baggie.
 
I already have all of my makeup in a little makeup bag of mine so I don't have to worry about finding something to put my makeup in. I'm already set! 
 
Since my bottoms didn't take up very much room in the middle of my duffle bag, I can add things on top of them. This is where I put my beach towel, 2 big, plastic baggies of beauty products, and makeup bag/makeup brushes bag.
 
I have a zipper that runs along the bottom of my duffle bag that I'm now putting my undies, bras, and bathing suits in(since there aren't many things you can fit in it).
 
Now I grab my laptop bag that has my laptop, laptop charger, camera, and camera charger in it.
 
Then, I grab my purse and put my wallet, sun glasses, chapstick, lip stick, ibuprofen, and phone chargers in and zip it all up!
 
Grab my blanket and have my phone in my hand!
 
I'm already to hit the road now!
 
It's time to have a fun week with my friend at the US Open! I hope you all stay safe with your traveling and vacationing this summer!
 
I hope this blog helped a lot of you! I had tons of pictures to help explain how I packed but I have no service where I am for the week so I'm so sorry!
 
I'll talk to you all on Friday!
