spring break must-haves

WE CAN TRAVEL AGAIN!!!! I’m crying as I’m typing this, literally tears are coming out of my eyes, after canceling 4 trips last year, I’m so so excited to be back on an airplane soon. Who’s heading out for spring break?! If you’re heading to the beach, I’ve got the ultimate spring break round-up for you today — from beauty products to bathing suits, I’m here for you! I’ve linked and listed all of my spring break must-haves below and my list isn’t too crazy or complicated, nobody wants to bring 10 million products on vacation (or do they?)!

Beauty Products:

Restore Leave-In Conditioner, the sunscreen for your hair! This will protect against damage and will help keep your ends hydrated and healthy while you’re in the hot sun, the salty ocean, or the chlorine-filled pool.

Color Lock + Protective Spray, protect that color! We all know the sun damages color (natural and dyed). Protect your color and help it last longer by using this daily.

Rejuveniqe Oil is a double whammy, you can use it on your hair and skin. Use it as a treatment before you wash your hair and apply it to your skin and lips to help them stay hydrated. If you get sunburnt, apply Rejuveniqe to the burned area to help it heal faster.

Sun Veil speaking of sunburns, you’re going to need my all-time favorite non-toxic sunscreen! Sun Veil is perfect for all skin types, hydrates your skin, doesn’t smell like sunscreen, and doesn’t leave a white cast. Trust me when I say, you’ll actually love putting it on.

Berry Refined Scrub after you spend all week in the sun and the sand, you’re going to need to exfoliate. The Berry Refined Scrub is my favorite exfoliator! Not only does it exfoliate your skin, but it also hydrates, meaning your skin won’t feel thirsty and tight after you rinse it off.

Sunglasses

Oh you didn’t think I would leave the sunglasses out, did you? Listen to me when I tell you, I’ve never ever been obsessed with a pair of sunglasses the way I’m obsessed with these, and guess what, they’re freaking cheap. They come in a few different colors (actually kinda thinking I need to grab a different color before my trip) and I absolutely love them.

Cameras

You didn’t think I would forget about cameras, did you? You’ve got to document those memories while you’re on vacation! You can use your phone and create some gorgeous photos, yes, but nothing is better than film (at least in my opinion). My two favorite instant cameras are the Polaroid Originals OneStep+ and the Fugi Instax SQ6. Each have their own unique pros and cons, the Fuji is smaller and, therefore, easier to carry around, while the Polaroid has bluetooth and manual capabilities giving you more creative freedom. The Polaroid also takes the old Polaroid film which is fun!

Bathing Suits

I don’t think it’s a secret that I’m not very confident in my body. It’s a relationship that I’m currently working on. I avoided the water, literally avoided it because I didn’t want to wear a bathing suit. I also didn’t want to spend $50+ on a bathing suit that I didn’t feel good in so I didn’t own a bathing suit for a long time. Then I found Cupshe. Cupshe makes the cutest bathing suits at unbelievably affordable prices (I’m talking like $20 bathing suits). I’ve only ordered from them a couple of times but in my personal experience their quality is impeccable and so far, I’m a very happy customer.

They don’t have this specific suit anymore (it’s from last year) but I did link the one I bought this year!

Luggage

I have one recommendation for you when it comes to luggage, Away. This is the Cadillac of suitcases. The best of the best and 100% worth the money if you’re someone who loves to travel. The quality is unmatched and it comes with a built-in battery that charges two devices at once (no more finding the spot by the outlet)!

There ya have it, my ultimate round-up. I’ve taken the liberty of linking everything in this post to make shopping super easy, just click the photo that you want to shop and it’ll take you where you need to be. Where are you traveling to this year? Let me know in the comments!
