Vacation Fun Guide!

So what are some cool things to do, and cool places to go while enjoying your vacation? Well I am going to do a little guide on how to make your vacation as fun as possible! 

While packing, you may want to make a list or just grab what you think you need, but it is important to bring the right stuff for fun vaca! 
Here is Packing Checklist:

• Fashionable/Functional clothes- Fashionable so you can feel confident and functional so that it is easy to pack and it will keep you warm or cool 

• Shoes- A trick to bringing less shoes... pick only a couple pair that match with every outfit, so plain colors like silver sparkles, one solid color, and a black pair (goes with most everything)

• Hair- Pack in a separate bag, only your hair needs, such as bobby pins, mousse, gel, clips, brush, hairspray, ponytail bands, and/or a comb. That's all you really need, and packing less saves space

• Accessories- Every girl needs accessories but how much is too much? Bring only one piece of jewelry for every two outfits so you can avoid over-packing 

• Bathing suits- If you are spending time by the shore or at a hotel with a pool, you have to pack your fav bathing suit! Whether it's a bikini or a one-piece, you should plan it out. If you are staying about a week pack three or four sets of bikinis. If you are staying about four days, pack 2 or 3, and if you are staying less than that, pack 1 or 2 so you can enjoy you sun soaking day

• Soap- (Just to be safe, have all liquid soaps and scrubs in a plastic bag, then in a separate bag from your clothes!) Pack body soap or scrub only if you need to because most likely, the hotel will provide it. You should pack your own shampoo and conditioner because like scrubs, shampoo and conditioner is sometimes provided, but their hair products may not be high quality

• Electronics- Of course you want to bring your phone, but don't forget the charger! You may want to bring your tablet too so you can keep up with your games! its important to take lots of pics too
I hope that helps with packing for you perf vaca in progress, so lets see how else we can make your trip fun!
Fun on Your Trip!
While your enjoying your vacation, its important to take some picture so that you can show your friends and post them on instagram! Make sure you take at least one pic everyday so that you can make a collage and then post it! What editor I use for cool pics... read the next post to find out!
Another way to make your stay fun is knowing all the "hotspots" around the area. Obviously if your in Hollywood, you might want to go shopping and check out the "Hollywood Walk of Fame" so go to Google and search "hotspots" or ask your hotels' concierge some fun places to visit!

Fault in Our Stars

I have heard such amazing things about this movie. I, am personally someone that loves romance and love stories. I was super exited to see this movie! but some of my friends who saw it, aren't into love stories, and they weren't thrilled to watch it! They said when they did watch it they surprisingly loved it! Here is the review that Google wrote.

"Hazel and Gus are two extraordinary teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for all the convention, and a love that sweeps them - and us - on an unforgettable journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous, given that they met and fell in love at a cancer support group" Go to fandango.com/faultinourstars to check out showtimes in atheatre near you!

Summer Season Style

So this season, I have noticed a new style! High-waisted skirts aka Skater skirts are totally in! They are super cute! I recently had my stylist make me a white polka-dotted one because I couldn't find my size in the one I wanted. I love wearing it with a crop top so that u don't have to tuck anything in or cover up your skirt!
