Since my trip for Hawaii is just two days away, I figured its about time
to start packing. Usually I'm pretty together about this stuff, but it has been
a super busy week and I've procrastinated a bit. Packing for a trip has
got to be in my top 5 most favorite things. Its so much fun to put together
outfits when you have somewhere exotic to go.
Heres a breakdown of how and what i packed for 7 days and 6 nights in Oahu!
First i pack three casual outfits that i can wear shopping, out for lunch, or after the pool. I pick out three complete outfits (including shoes but minus jewelry) and set them aside.
After this I add my "extras"
1. Set of PJ's
2. Some "athletic" attire (tennis shoes, raincoat, shorts)
3. Basic dress that goes with anything
4. Bikini and a swimsuit (this swim suit is from
Trina Turk)
In My Toiletry Bag
Since the FAA made the rule about liquids and gels, i have had to split my toiletry bag into two different bags.
Bag #1
In this bag i keep all my dry makeup and hair things, its easy to overpack makeup for me for some reason because i always bring doubles of everything. This time i tried to be super careful when packing up my makeup for the week. Heres what i ended up with (top to bottom)
-1 Kabuki brush for foundation AND blush
-Elastic hair bands (the most useful thing in this bag)
-Benefit concealer
-Brown eyeliner and eye brush
-Neutral and dark eyeshadow
-Benefit mini mascara
-Deodorant
-Hair ties
-Basic headband
Tip: Minis help conserve a ton of space! If you get ahold of mini versions of products, hold on to them! they can be lifesavers.
Bag #2 (FAA regulated quart size bag)
Pretty basic....anything liquid or gel goes in here!
-Redken outshine 101
-Hairspray
-Rollerball perfume
-Clinique mini moisturizer
In My Carry On
-Latest knitting project

-Quart size "liquid and gel" bag
-My wallet
-Sun hat
-Running hat
