Minimal Packing for a Stress free Spring Break

For those of you who are going somewhere warm for they week off, I have a few tips to keep your suitcase light and your trip carefree. The fewer things your need to keep track of the better, and extra room in a suitcase means room to bring home souvenirs and cute local boys.


Remember you will only be gone for 5-7 days. Not three months. So you need 7-8 outfits TOPS.
This is just a template, switch items to match your style and Spring Break needs.

1. Start with basics.
The Formula: days you will be there + 1 = # of undies to bring. May want to make a few of them your sexy undies, to give a an extra reminder that your hot stuff. Then one regular bra and a few socks if necessary. Hopefully you won't even need to put on a shirt over your bathing suit for the week, let alone put on real shoes.

2. One very versatile skirt that can be worn at your low waist, natural waist, and as a strapless dress is ideal, but otherwise just a versatile skirt. Then a basic cotton dress that you need a cami/tank top under. That is the extent of the bottom wear I will be bringing, but for the less hard core, bring a 2nd skirt and maybe some jean shorts.

3. A couple tank tops will do ya good to go with the skirt and under the dress, then a couple dressy/sexy tops for evening get togethers to pair with shorts or your skirt. You don't wanna look like a beach bum when you arrive at the party those nice boys down the street invited you too.

4. A bathing suit, cover up, and sandals. All your outfits should go with the sandals that will also double as your beach shoes. Then a pair of cuter flip flops or some strappy heels for evening wear.

5. Belts, jewlery, scarves, or other accesories to make each outfit unique.

I would have added pictures but I'm on a forgein computer and windows are not so user friendly.
Hope everyone has a safe and fun spring break!

Five Things You Need to Bring to College You May Not Think Of

1. Clothes hangers- To hang stuff up in your closet, its very difficult to do with them.

2. Hot Glue Gun- god’s gift to those with a tight budget or minimal crafty skills.

3. Air Borne- Buy a thing of it and take it when you start to feel a bit sick each day until your better. This will cut down drastically on the time you are sick.

4. Rain boots/jacket/umbrella- Walking to class forces you to deal with the elements for much longer time then you may be used to.  Showing up to class soaked or with wet shoes is not fun.

5. Insurance Card- You will probably get sick, and may need to go to the university clinic or the doctor/hospital. This is something you don’t want to have to call your parents about at who knows what time of day. A girl who lived across the hall from me got 3^rd degree burns on her hand at like 1 in the morning when she put a PB&J uncrustable in the microwave.

What did you realize you needed once you moved out that you didn't have?

Thanksgiving Packing Tips

So most of us are going home for thanksgiving and a few of my friends have the whole week off, but I only have Wednesday –Friday free, though I'm leaving on Tuesday after class. Well anyway I am a minimalist, but when it comes to clothes, I tend to pack too much because of my need for variety. But inspired by Minimal Student’s holiday post, I am going to try to pack very little because

            It makes transport easy.

            I don’t loose things while I’m at home.

            I feel awesome for not packing much and using versatile items to give my life variety.

So I have made a list of what I am bringing for 6 days of feasting joy.

1. Toiletries

2. Makeup

3. TIghts

4. Three Dresses

5. one shirt

6. One skirt

7. Two tank Tops

8. Underwear

9. Big Jacket and light jacket

10. Black Boots and Black Flats

Thats not a very small list is it? 

What are you packing to go home? More? Less?
