Vacation mode: ON. There’s nothing like a tropical breeze and a suitcase full of outfits to get you in the mood to glow. But let’s be real—between packing chaos and pre-travel stress, beauty prep can get a little… chaotic.

1. Glowy Skin + Vacation Makeup Must-Haves

Want to look fresh, radiant, and photo-ready without spending an hour in front of a mirror?

Here are my favorite vacation beauty staples that save time and serve luxe:

  • Press-on lashes that stay put through humidity and cocktails

  • Glowy setting spray that locks in makeup and adds a sunkissed sheen

  • Multi-use cream blush for cheeks, lips, and eyes (yes please)

2. My Go-To Packing List for Tropical Trips

Packing doesn’t have to be stressful. I keep it cute and functional:

  • 👗 Flowy sets and breathable fabrics

  • 👙 Multiple swimsuits (because, mood changes)

  • 🧴 SPF, hydration mists, and a good leave-in conditioner

  • 🥿 Sandals you can wear to dinner and the pool bar

3. Let’s Talk “Bikini Ready” Confidence

Here’s how to get “bikini ready”:
Put on a bikini. You’re ready. 😘

But if you’re like most of us, there’s more under the surface than just fabric. Confidence isn’t about the size tag—it’s about how you feel in your body.

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wished you could feel more confident on vacation (or in life), you’re not alone. The truth? Confidence is built from the inside out.

🌟 That’s why I created my 7-Day Glow Up—to help you build self-love, radiance, and real confidence in just a few minutes a day.

Bonus: My Cruise Makeup & Style Favorites

I just got back from a 3-day cruise, and these items were game changers:

  • Glowy, sweat-proof makeup (thank you, setting spray)

  • Press-on lashes = no mascara drama

  • Easy mix-and-match outfits that made getting ready so fun
