Packing Pretty

Some people love it, most hate it = Packing!!! When summertime comes around, it seems like we are always on the go. Whether it is a week-long getaway to a tropical paradise, or an annual trip to visit family, packing properly always proves to be the ultimate diva Sudoku puzzle.

Here are some simple, yet effective tips to try on for your next get away!!

• Keep Cool When packing deodorant (or lotions), place it in a plastic, sealable bag. Go even further and place it in a travel cooler with cold drinks. This will prevent melting, and the risk of leaking residue onto your fabulous wardrobe!!

• Call Ahead! If your final destination has it, you don't need it! Most hotels provide you with the basic shampoo and soap! By not packing these bulky, generic items, you will have more room for your anti-aging creams, and root-lifting mousse! Also, Blow-Dryers...leave them at home! 

• Pick a Neutral When packing clothing, it is difficult to narrow down the options, as well as jewelry to match. By picking a neutral, such as a cream or gray, you can easily match colors that coordinate. Sticking with a neutral will also slim down jewelry choices limiting you to silver or gold. By sticking with this rule, each outfit is sure to be stunning! 

• Essentials All the excitement of getting away for a few days, often leads us to neglect the essentials! Don't leave the house without:

   

• Sunglasses
• Contacts/Glasses
• Cell phone charger
• Toothbrush
• Sunscreen (Rodan & Fields Essential SPF)
• Lip Balm with Sun Protection (Rodan & Fields Lip Shield)
• Hair Brush
• Daily Vitamins/Medications
• Socks

Remember this summer, whether your vacation is on a tropical cruise, or just a relaxing day at the lake, to protect your skin against the damaging rays. A bad sunburn can leave you hurting and indoors for days! Allow yourself to enjoy the season by protecting your skin!
