For years I had rolled my eyes when I heard people blogged, especially at a young age. I always thought of bloggers to be soccer moms or missionaries or over-opinionated people.

I am done being controlled by twitter and their 140 characters, oh please. I’ll show you 140 characters. Anyways here I have listed out reasons I have continually tried to tell myself as to why I should start a blog:

You don’t want to pack everything, just everything you will need. Think of the basics (toothpaste, toothbrush, deoderant, etc) and then hair care (brush, headbands, ponytail holders, curling iron, etc) Imagine everyday of your trip and how much makeup you’ll need and if your hair has to be done. Is there anyone you want to impress or want to take fun pictures of you? Then bring nicer makeup and hair care. I hope your vacation goes smoothly with all these tips!

Packing Series: Outfits

We are starting a new series all about packing! Whether it’s for a short trip or a long one, these will help you pack!

When you are packing, you want to create the most outfits with the same pieces. Many people do a 30 day challenge with a certain amount of pieces and try to make 30 different outfits. Here are some of their results:

Try this for your next vacation or just to thin out your wardrobe!
