Hey y'all~~~~~
I'm going on a two-month trip to Hawaii- I feel so blessed that I have this opportunity!! I'm having some trouble packing, though. I need to bring everything I need and fit it in a single suitcase. What would you recommend bringing hair, makeup, and toiletry wise? Clothing suggestions are also appreciated. Thank you!

I wouldn't bring many shoes because I'm flying tomorrow and I think that my suitcase will be too heavy since I packed way too many shoes. Clothing wise I'd say bring many one pieces like dresses, rompers, jumpsuits. Toiletry wise, just what you use on a daily basis. For hair, maybe a donut, bobby pins, hair elastics and some clips for half up styles. Makeup wise, don't overpack so don't bring stuff you know you won't wear.

If you can afford it pack super duper light and just buy clothing while you are there...especially sarongs and summery wear. Two months packed into one suitcase...you have to be mindful of weight and if your suitcase is too heavy the airline will charge you for it. If push comes to shove just ship some of it to your hotel or wherever it is you are staying. I've done that plenty of times over the years and it was less stress when it came to flying.

As far as clothing goes...make sure the items are interchangable color-wise. I usually stick to earth tones so whatever I decide to wear...it will work. Hawaii this time of year is quite warm so keep your makeup pretty light. Sunscreen is a must and if you can...just purchase when you are there to save on space. Not knowing where you are staying there are several Target stores so you can stock on up the travel size items...as you can see I'm all about traveling light and getting the necessities once I reach my destination...especially if its somewhere that I will be staying for an extended amount of time.

Hair: bring your everyday hair tools. I also would bring a couple hair ties and bobby pins or hair clips. just basically bring any hair products/tools you feel you can't live without for the next two months!
Makeup: I recommend ONLY bringing the essentials. I always bring too much and sometimes they get damaged or spill on the trip. try to bring as minimal products as you can.
Toiletry: bring your deodorant, perfumes, lotions, and all that good stuff! just grab your daily essentials. skin care products might also spill on the trip. I like to put them in smaller travel bottles.
Clothing: kits bring enough clothes that will last you 2 months! I like packing at least one fancy outfit in case we go out to dinner or something and also make sure to pack some swimsuits and pajamas as well
