Bye Bye Bipolar weather and HELLO fun in the sun!! For those of you traveling for spring break, I am sure you are looking forward to the blazing sun on your backs and the sandy beaches. If you’re as excited as I am, you have most likely been packing your bags since January! Sometimes too much excitement can make you forget some of the most important things you must bring with you on your trip.
As the countdown begins, we start packing the essentials, but once we’re actually on vacation there are always those one or two items we tell ourselves should’ve brought. Don’t worry, I am here to remind you of those small but (as DJ Khaled would say) MAJOR Keys to keep your vacation packing spot on! Spring Break may only be for a week, but believe me when I say having all of these items [and then some] will leave you safe than sorry.
