Spring Break is right around the corner, which means it’s time to start thinking about what to bring. Wondering what some necessities are to pack and prepare? Look no further. 

Sunscreen

Whether you’re going to Rocky Point, Mission Beach, Cabo or anywhere else, sunscreen is key. You will most likely be outside for a majority of your days and who wants to come home looking like a lobster?

St. Tropez

Trying to not blend in with the sand on your vacay? Ditch the tanning beds and go purchase some St. Tropez instant tanning mousse and get that bronzed glow you desire – it’s basically a miracle in a bottle.

Cheap Sunnies

Odds are that if you bring your Ray-Bans or other expensive sunglasses on your trip you will most likely break or lose them. Ditch the expensive shades and purchase a few cheap pairs to bring with you (check out Urban Outfitters, H&M or Forever21).

Water

Water is essential to a happy and healthy Spring Break. Even though you will be busy livin’ it up don’t forget to stay hydrated – being in the sun all day will dehydrate you like no other.

Lock

If you want to be extra safe, bring a lock to lock up your luggage during the day. It is better to be safe than sorry! If you don’t have a lock, keep your valuables and especially your passport in the hotel safe.

Flip-flops

Do yourself a solid and go purchase a few pairs of cheap flip-flops from Target or Old Navy. No one wants to be paying to replace lost Tory’s or Rainbows.

 

Last but not least, pack light! You don’t want to be hauling around a big suitcase and you will basically be living in a swimsuit anyway.
