Vacation Essentials

Links to ALL my favorite things that I took to Mexico! Click away and let me know if you have any questions or if I didn't link something you saw.

I was determined to travel light, but still have everything that I needed. My husband and I only took a carry on each, which means limiting liquids! If you haven't seen my post on Instagram then be sure to check it out to see these in action. All of them can be used again and again on all your trips:

• Kitsch Ultimate Travel Kit - includes a quart size bag for carry-on compliance and several containers for your liquids. I use the spray for my pre-cleanse makeup remover, the small pump for my facial cleanser, the long pump for my silk body milk, the flat bags for my stimulating cleanser and body lather, and the jars for my facial moisturizer and facial exfoliant.

• Clear Plastic Jars - If you need more jars for other creams or thicker products these are great to have on hand

• Mini Shampoo Bottles - I use one for shampoo and one for conditioner. They can be a little tricky to fill, but not all that difficult and worth the space savings. I can usually get two uses out of my shampoo and conditioner with these full, which is just enough for a few days away for me. If you need more space, try using more of the Kitsch Refillable Flat Pouch - great for liquids and gels, can hold a little or a lot.

• Amber Glass Dropper Bottles - I re-use old bottles that I have from my skincare line, but if you don't have those I would recommend using these for your Pomifera Rose facial oil, hair oil, and even your body oil, Plump or Vitamin C serum.

• Kitsch Refillable Silicone Bottles - I used these for mineral sunscreen and put them in my hubby's quart size bag

• Kitsch Silicone Jar - another option for creams, exfoliants if you want to keep a matching set

• Makeup Compact - concealer, bronzer, blush, highlighter, eyeshadows all in ONE small compact make travelling with my full face so easy. If you need a color match or have questions, check out my other Blog post on this

• Make-Up Eraser Wipes - I love these re-usable wipes to go with my makeup remover spray to use on mascara. Grab a set for your bathroom

• Tinted SPF - this is my favorite tinted SPF. The color adjusts to your face so it is a perfect match for literally everyone. It feels great, looks great, and I can tell you from using it in the Mexico sun - it works great!

I had so many compliments and questions on some of my outfits in Mexico. Here is where I shopped:

• Bikini amazing customer service and quality - code SUN10 saves you 10%. Yes, I got the matching hair scrunchie

• Dress from one of my favorite boutiques

• Sunglasses (Mine are the Bella II polarized black with smoke)

• Foldable Beach Hat - super space saver and a beach necessity! I rolled it into my husband's bubba cup to pack it

• Sand Shoes - you will want these for excursions
