Collect Moments Not Things

It’s the moments and experiences that enhance the memory of travel; resulting in the never quenching thirst to roam. My adventure through pictures that don’t give San Diego justice:

Claremont Pier

Sunset Cliffs 

La Jolla 

Old Town

Coronado 

Long Weekend Essential’s

Spring break is almost here, and I’m going away for a short weekend in San Diego. All the excitement fizzles when I think about packing my bag. If theres anything more stressful than packing a bag for a week, its for a short weekend. You don’t wanna bring too much and then you risk looking like “that girl” but you also don’t want to under pack incase everyone decides to hit the town more than the times you expected. Here’s how I make it simple.

 

Make up Essentials  

This is the easiest category to over pack in! You don’t need your Naked Urban Decay palette for the week, your eyes can do with a quick gold shimmer. If you don’t usually wear THAT color lip stick, then don’t pack it! Simple is better, and leaves your bag feeling lighter. In my makeup bag:

• Tinted Moisturizer – Hello Flawless Benefit
•  Blush / Bronzer Duo by Nars
•  Mascara by Tarte (bamboo bottle)
•  Mini Vaseline (my new favorite)
•  A Versatile Lip stick that can be worn from night to day –Vegas Bomb by Mac is one of my favorites
• Ponds Makeup Removing Wipes

Clothing Necessities  

Packing light is essential, but one must be ready for anything. Incase of a spur of the moment fancy dinner, make sure to have a dress on hand. It is essential to have items that can be all mixed together to make multiple outfits. Clothing Necessities in my suit case:

• One pair of jeans 
• One pair of shorts
• 2 Tank tops (my colors: red, grey, indigo to mix and match)
• A fancy dress
• Casual Dress
• Flats
• High heels
• Statement necklace  <—–This can make a simple outfit into a fabulous one.

Purse Requirements  

• A snack : Instant miso packets, green tea packets, almonds, pretzels are some of my favorites.  
• My camera, Canon Rebel t3i
• Wallet with cash (sometimes it’s hard to remember paper when we are so used to plastic)
• Head phones
• A good book

Here’s to a great weekend, and some awesome stories to tell! 🙂

XOXO,
