In one week from today we will be basking in the rays of sunny Mexico. Planned since November, this vacation is long-awaited and much needed! But coming off a dismal winter in New England, I’ve got a bit of preparation to do.
When I was younger, my mom used to scold me for sun exposure. I’m fair-skinned but I wanted so badly to tan. I’ve wisened up in the last few years and ditched the baby oil for SPF. So when my sun-deprived skin is getting ready for the tropics, I make sure to have a packing list of all the essentials.
These top ten will keep me covered for this upcoming week of bliss:
1. sundress
4. sunnies
5. sunscreen
6. beach tote
7. sandals
9. swimsuit
10. body lotion
