What I Packed For Vacation 

First, I’m going to start out with my bag! I snatched this bag up from Amazon for such a great price and am in love with it! It’s the perfect carry-on bag and has multiple compartments, even one specifically for shoes! It has lots of pockets as well, so it will keep you super organized!

Bonus points for the fact that it comes in pink ( although that color may be sold out…) but it’s such a great bag and is everything you need for your next trip! Find it right here. 

Next is something I have wanted for a while but finally decided that I actually needed it for this trip. A nicely organized travel jewelry case. Not only is is pink (duh) but it’s the perfect size for travel and kept all of my necklaces tangle free, and all the rest of my jewelry neatly organized.

Get one for yourself, here.

This belt/bum bag is so perfect for travel! It has plenty of room to fit your phone wallet, and more all while looking cute! I wore it on our waterfall hike and I couldn’t be happier with it, plus, it’s super affordable!

It comes in multiple colors but of course, I got the pink! Shop the bag here. 

if you’re headed to a beach, then you might like a nice lightweight pair of water shoes. These are the perfect option. They double as a basic sports shoe and even though they’re so lightweight, they make walking on any surface comfortable and do a good job at protecting your feet.

There are multiple colors and patterns to choose from, I own the black and loved wearing them as I walked into the ocean! Check them out here. 

I have a lot of bathroom and beauty products…like I’m not joking here, I don’t travel lightly either. So where I go, basically every item in my bathroom goes with me. So to help with space, I thought getting a little travel toiletry set would work well so not every product I pack would be the full size.

I got this one here because it’s pink, affordable, and even comes with a little travel brush and comb! I like that there’s also a pump bottle for things like lotion or soap. It also has stickers so you can label each bottle!

Another small bathroom item I thought would be handy to have in travel size is a disposable razer. This one is great because it has 5 blades, comes with an extra cartridge, and has its own case making it perfect for travel! Find it here. 

Now, let’s get into a few of the more fun things I brought with me on vacay! Starting with this cute 2-piece matching set that is so perfect for spring or summer travels! I wore this set to the beach as well as on a hike and it was the right material for both!

The shorts have big side pockets and the waist is smocked, making it really comfortable! It comes in pink and black and is super affordable at just $9.99! Snag this set right here. 

I got this skirt a year ago and hadn’t had the chance to wear it, so when I was packing and choosing my outfits, I knew I had to bring this skirt and wear it around Honolulu! I’m obsessed with leopard print if you didn’t already know, so I was excited to wear this skirt and it didn’t disappoint!

I’ll link it here for you and if you’re not as big into leopard as me, don’t worry, there are other styles and patterns too! It’s so flowy and pleated, so it easily elevates a basic top like a tee or tank!

Having a nice white linen button-down top was a must-have on this trip! I threw it over almost every outfit as it was quite cool and breezy in Hawaii and I didn’t want to completely ruin my looks with a bigger jacket. If you don’t already own a white button-down, I highly suggest it! Get a great one right here. 

Of course, you can’t go to the beach without a sun hat! This one right here is my personal pick! It got a lot of use while I was lounging out in the sun!

I decided to treat myself to a new swimsuit for this trip, and I found this very nice green one-piece from CupShe and knew it was the one! I like more modest swimsuits and also ones that have a bit of padding and support in the bust, and plus this green color is just so pretty! Check it out! 

Another travel must-have is a portable phone charger! I love this one from Charmast because it plugs directly into your phone! No need to worry about cables and you can still easily hold your phone with it’s plugged in. I am an Android, so this is the one I own, but there is a version for iPhone as well!

I thought a bit ahead and knew I would want to sleep on my own pillowcase. I don’t like cotton pillowcases nor do I like sleeping on ones from Hotels. So, I brought mine with me! My pillow case is satin and from Kitsch. Also…it’s leopard print.

If you are not aware of the benefits of sleeping on a satin or silk pillowcase, here’s a quick briefing. It helps fight against signs of aging, so no sleep lines! Helps reduce hair breakage as well as keeping you cool all night! Get one today! 

I wouldn’t go anywhere with my favorite sunscreen! Protect your skin and the sea with clean, healthy, and safe non-nano zinc oxide! My favorite is the Baboo Botanicals Super Shield SPF 50. It’s not greasy and is made with only the cleanest ingredients. Even if you’re not traveling, this is the sunscreen you want for daily use!

There you have it! These are my top picks for what I packed for vacation! I couldn’t possibly share everything I brought with me, but these are my top must-haves! Are you going on vacation this year? if so, tell me where! Be sure to subscribe before you go, so you never miss out on new posts!
