The Ultimate Vacation Packing List

Everyone loves a good vacation. We try and hurry to get our bodies right, put together a few fly outfits, and make sure our face and hair is up to par. But we always seem to forget something. As a frequent vacationer, I've put together the ultimate packing list (leaving out clothing since it's obvious).

In My Carry On (all items travel sized): I once made it to my destination with only my carry-on, while my checked luggage took an accidental 2-day detour. Now I pack with "in case disaster strikes" in mind.

• Mouthwash, toothbrush, toothpaste, body wash, hair spray, Q-tips
• A Sweat Block packet, a change of underwear, makeup remover wipes and makeup bag
• Shower cap, contact solution and case

In My Personal Bag/Purse:

• Collagen under eye pads, 5HR Energy, a Cliff Bar, GoPro
• Cellphone, wallet/ID, spectacles, portable battery charger
• iPad Pro & Apple Pencil, Beats headphones, lotion, SPF 50 lip balm, aspirin, eye drops

In My Checked Luggage:

• Dove bar soap, ORS Edge Control, aloe vera gel (best skin relief after harsh sun exposure)
• SPF 100 body sunscreen and SPF 110 face sunscreen, UV exposure varies by location, don't end up burned!
• Baby wipes, water shoes (Tory's don't belong in salt water), perfumes and colognes, curling iron
• Deep conditioner packets, krazy glue, an emergency sewing kit, and baby powder (for uncomfortable tropical sweat)
