Before leaving for your summer vacation here are some tips and tricks to make sure you pack everything you will need!

 

Pack by Outfit

 

Don’t simply throw all of your clothes into your suitcase. Pack by outfit. This will ensure that you don’t over or under pack. It will also ensure that you have an outfit for every occasion. Lay everything out before putting it into your suitcase to make sure that you are ready for every day. Spending a lot of time at the beach? Make sure you bring a few bathing suits and beach cover ups. Going on an adventurous vacation? Make sure you have plenty of athletic-wear. Also, if you are traveling by plane and checking a suitcase make sure you bring an outfit in your carry-on for any unexpected accidents!

First Aid Kit

 

Call this a first aid and necessities kit. Make sure you bring band aids, creams, and pills that you would normally use if you got hurt. Also make sure that all of your makeup is travel sized. This will make sure that it doesn’t get taken by security if you are traveling by plane, and it doesn’t take up more room than it needs to.

Sensible Footwear

 

No matter where you are going on vacation you should bring one pair of athletic shoes. Especially if you have never been to this place before. You want to make sure that you are prepared for any situation. If you plan on doing a lot of touristy things you will definitely be doing lots of walking.

 

Bring an Everyday Bag

 

When packing for a summer vacation you should definitely bring a bag that you can carry around daily. Bring something that suits your style. A backpack or small purse is perfect to carry all of your daily essentials. You want to bring something large enough to carry your phone, wallet, and sun screen, but not something too big that is hard to carry all day.
