packing: an introductory guide for girls

This is written to help any other female who may ever leave her home for more than one night.
Just a few helpful hints and reassurances!
Let's start at the top and go down...

1. Hair stuff. Take everything you would use in a three day period. Take your own shampoo and conditioner, styling products, anything that plugs in, and your own hair dryer unless you want to spend 4 hours of SUN time blowdrying your hair. Consider the wind and humidity conditions of your locations. bring extra rubberbands, clips, claws, and anything else it takes to look human.
Same goes for make-up. Take your face washes, all daily make-up, and anything for a night out, or special circumstances: wind, sun, or chlorine. Just basically take everything in your bathroom. Oh, dont forget girl products or medicine.
The easiest way to achieve this is get a huge bag and dump everything out of all your bathroom drawers, thus alleviating your worry of forgetting something you may need.

2. Underwear. take all different kinds. You never know who will see it, or what it will be used for. thong, full-butted, push-up, seperate, minimize... what makes you think you wont have these same needs away from home? Just take it all. You cant predict whether you will be in the
mood for cotton, silk, satin, stretch, comfort, or glamour.

3. Outerwear. Just as easily as it can rain in Hawaii, it can be overcast and chilly in Mazatlan, and warm and sunny in Seattle. Best choice? layers. Take at least two of everything for each day you will be there. Plan for special events. Skirts, dresses, shorts, swimwear, bring everything you have. Who knows when there will be a major syrup disaster, or an unfortunate 'lets throw her in the pool' incident? You should probably not only pack all your clothes, you should also go shopping and get more. And probably new/more luggage while you are out.

4. Shoes. Yes, you need all of them. dont question me. are you questioning me? just wait. you will be the only one there without turquoise embroidered strappy slingback Chinese Laundry heels. wait and see, my friend. im only trying to help.

5. Other items. You really dont need anything else. If you look good, because you brought all your stuff, and you find you need something, someone will get it for you, jsut because you look good.

I hope this helps! When you get kicked off your flight for excessively heavy suitcases, jsut remember: i told you to buy more luggage!

love always!!!
