Packing for Trips Away

Next week my boyfriend Scott and I are going to the Gold Coast for a week over Easter, We are so excited because while we are down there his best friend is getting married and we are attending the wedding!! Cannot wait to dress up and try some bold makeup...

I was thinking the other day that I would like to write a packing list ( I have a thing for lists) just in case anyone else needs help figuring out what to take and what they should leave behind.

There are always 2 types of packers... there are those who only pack the minimum of what they will need and then there are the other packers. I am definitely an over packer but I don't go too crazy!
I always think that I may be in a situation where our plans change and I hate being unprepared.

Here is my list for short trips or beach vacation (since I am going to the beach)

• sunscreen 
• lip balm  
• hat (wide brimmed or cap)
• sunglasses
• 3 pairs of bikinis or swimsuit
• 1 pair of flip flops
• 1 pair of sandals
• 1 pair of heels
• 3 sundresses to throw on over bikinis
• 5 tank tops or tees in neutral shades
• 2 skirts 
• 2 shorts
• 3 evening dresses (I will also be packing my dress for the wedding)
• jewelry
• clutch for evenings 
• undergarments 
• makeup and heat styling tools

I hope this is handy for you and helps you pack for your next little trip away!

Love, Rhiannon
