Must Haves For Spring Break 2014

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Illinois State chapter.

 

 

Spring break is right around the corner, and hopefully yours will be filled with hot days, cool nights, sunshine and some sand between your toes. Everyone is in a hurry to get away from this weather, but are you sure you’re all packed? Don’t forget these must haves for this spring break. 

 

Sunglasses: It’s so easy to lose your sunglasses in the ocean or leave them at the beach. Make sure to bring multiple pairs of sunglasses with you on this spring break. And here’s a sweet deal: all sunglasses at Icing are 2 for $20 right now. 

 

Suntan Lotion: Whether you’re the lobster of the group or the bronzed beauty, don’t forget tanning lotion. Australian Gold has great 50 SPF for the fair skinned girls and a Dry Oil Intensifier for those of you looking to get BRONZED! 

 

Tote: Make sure to bring your favorite beach-bag. It won’t take up much room in your luggage and you’ll need it for long days at the beach. 

 

Bikinis: You’ll obviously need a swimsuit but it’s a good idea to bring more than one. There is nothing worse than getting into a cold swimsuit, still wet from the day before. 

 

Music: Bring your iPod (and maybe some mini speakers) with a good playlist to listen to while you’re catching some rays by the pool or on the beach. 

 

A Hat: Chances are, after this brutal winter, we’re all going to get a little burnt. Make sure to bring a hat for the days when your face needs a break from the sun. A simple baseball cap or a cute straw fedora will work! And not only does it protect you from the sun but it spices up your outfit a bit.
