Even though Spring break may have passed for some you already, it’s never too early to get a jump on next year to make it the best Spring break yet! From packing to planning and so much more, it’s usually on the forefront of many of our minds when warmer weather starts to come around. Personally, being a senior this year I know that is at least what went through my mind. Once the weight of planning the trip is taken off your shoulders, packing is the next thing to think about. Here’s a list of my personal essentials that were packed in my bag this past March.
- Versed Mood Lighting Lumanizing Glow Drops
-
These are a new recent favorite purchase of mine. I personally mix a drop or two in with my moisturizer and then put all my cream products on top and I find it just gives your skin a really nice and natural looking glow. I do think these are going to be the perfect skincare product for spring break because after a day in the sun the last thing you want to do is put on a ton of makeup and these give the effect you put a lot of effort into your makeup without actually doing a lot.

- Bathing Suits
-
This is an obvious one but probably my favorite because I am a sucker for a cute bathing suit and think it’s a nice way to express your style and also be comfortable and confident. I will list some of my favorite places to get bathing suits below.

- Beach Blanket
-
I would also suggest bringing either a king size old sheet or a blanket to lay on because depending on if you stay at a hotel or airbnb you might not have that so accessible and it is definitely a staple for laying out on the beach. I will link my favorite below.

- books
-
I personally love reading on the beach and just find it very relaxing so depending on how fast you read it might be a good idea to bring a few books with you that you enjoy or some new ones you have been wanting to read to keep yourself entertained on the beach.
- Sunscreen
-
You cannot forget your sunscreen!!! This is so important. I myself have a tendency to not put on sunscreen sometimes because I do tan so easily and think that I don’t need it but you do not wanna be in pain during your trip and sunburns are not just not fun in general so remember to either go buy some once you get there or bring some! The one I listed below is my favorite and smells amazing.

Even though Spring Break is only a few days or a week you still need to make sure to pack all the essentials to make the trip the best trip it can be! Even with summer vacation right around the corner, this is a great list to help you ease some of your ‘no idea what to pack’ worries. I hope some of my favorites can be enjoyed by more people.
