What to Pack When You Go on Vacation:

They're always that "something" you forgot when you're half way to your destination or farther. You really don't want to go shopping for it unless it's necessary. Reading/Printing this list of things will help you out COMPLETELY! Let's get started, Shall We?


First things first, how many nights/days are you staying? The days/nights you're staying will determine the pairs of clothes/underwear/bras/etc you will need to bring. This is the scenario we will be working with, but if you want to (this is recommended) figure out and plan a "virtual suitcase" on a piece of paper and figure out how many shirts/pants/shoes/underwear/bras/etc you will need to bring. Feel free to adjust this to your trip/vacation plans. This is just my layout to help you out. Alrighty, Let's go! 


In Your Large Suitcase (holding all of your clothes/shoes/underwear/pajamas/bras)
  • Excluding the outfit you're wearing on the way there, you will need 4 pairs of clothes (shirts, pants, shoes, jewelry -optional-) 
  • Then you will also need 3-4 pajama sets or just a 3-4 t-shirts and 3-4 gym/workout shorts to make you comfortable. 
  • Also, you will need about 5-6 pairs of underwear, 5 being the minimum, 6 being the maximum. The reason you will be packing a lot of underwear is because you never know what might happen. You might have an accident and ladies, you know what that means...mhmm...lol So pack a little extra underwear. It's better to be safe than sorry. 
  • The next thing you will need to pack is, if it's spring/summer time, then of course if you're a swimmer, then you will need to pack a bathing suit. 
  • Alright, My suggestion to you for shoes is to bring a shopping bag with you to put your shoes in so they don't get your clothes dirty or wrinkly. So, if it's spring/summertime, you will need to bring 1 good/average pair of Sneakers that fit well, you don't mind getting them a little scuffed up, and they match almost everything you have in the outfit category.  Don't bring your brand new Nike Shox! Yikes! What if they got dirty? Ouch..And a pair of flip flops or sandals, because in mid-May/June/July  it's gonna be H O T ! ! ! ! ! 
  • Next, girls, bring 2 pairs of bras because, you can wear them more than once during the trip. Saves time on washing and drying. 

Smaller Suitcase (Bathroom Items, Everyday Use) 

  • Toothbrush (with or without a cover over the brush) and a small tube of toothpaste
  • Travel Sized Mouthwash (Optional) 
  • Skin Care Items (Moisturizer -day and night-, acne cure, face wash, etc) 
  • Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash or Bar Soap. 
  • Hand Sanitizer and Lotion (Optional) 
  • Feminine Supplies (Pads, Tampons, Feminine Wash)  
  • Toiletries (Flushable Wipes, Toilet Tissue, Towels if your destination doesn't have these basic amenities)
  • Makeup (Basic and Natural) 
Purse: Cute Purses  
I would suggest a small crossbody purse so it's not big and it's attached at the hip :-) 
  • Wallet with a debit/credit card and a few bills and your ID and if you have coupons, go ahead and bring em' too
  • Phone or some sort of communication 
  • Earbuds/Earphones (Optional) for the way there and back
  • Feminine Products (or just stick the ones you brought in your smaller suitcase in your purse for an easy access) 
  • Gum or Mints (Optional) 
Swim Bag-
  • Towels 
  • Floats 
  • Goggles 
  • Pool Toys
  • Anything else that is necessary to you for the pool! 

I hope this helps and have a Blessed Day!
