Snowbird survival kit: hot holiday necessities
If you're not going to be home for the holidays or have finally convinced your loved ones to hold the holidays on a holiday then we salute you!
Holding the holidays abroad can be fun but have a different level of stress, especially when packing carry-on only!
STRESS FREE HOLIDAY PACKING
A small beauty kit
Even though warmer weather means thinner and lighter clothes, your gifts may make packing a nightmare.
A great way to escape the overweight luggage charge is to mix it up with your hair, makeup and jewelry. Our jet setter kit has all your essentials tucked in a case to keep your hair straightener safe. Don't forget to bring your heat protector spray, dry shampoo and hairspray–all in miniatures, of course!
The hair straightener can pull off multiple looks including waves and curly hairstyles. Paired with a minimal beauty kit, you'll look appropriate at the beach, a fancy dinner and scenic day tours.
Bring multi-use beauty products such as a brown eyeshadow that can work for brows or eyeliner; a bronzer that can also work as an eyeshadow; and convertible blush that works as lipstick.
A few good accessories
Scarves and hair accessories take up little room in a carry-on and can work as belts, neckties and hair accessories. To wear it in your hair, style it as a retro kerchief, headband or around your elastic.
Hair accessories such as hair combs and barrettes are a great way of keeping hair out of your face and bringing focus to your face and top half. Perfect for all those selfies and vacation shots and a great way to distract from a minimal wardrobe!
LOCALES + STYLES
Miami
Whether you're hitting up Miami Beach, posing for Instagram photos at the Wynwood Walls or soaking up some culture at Art Basel Miami, make sure that you're looking great!
Loose curls work on and off the beach!
Cabo San Lucas
Cabo, like Miami, is the perfect distance from home. Far enough to escape winter, but not far enough to suffer from jet lag! This resort town has great beaches and amazing night life.
Pack for both with stylish day-to-night pieces like a great maxi skirt or dress and a glam hair and makeup look!
Bali
Pair your casual jeans, t-shirt and flip-flop uniform with either a half top-knot with waves or a low bun as you cycle through rice paddies or embark on your own Eat, Pray, Love adventure.
If strolling through the markets or enjoying the hotel bar in your batik sarong and bohemian maxi gowns are more your thing, try relaxed waves a swipe of highlighter and a lip gloss.
Australia
It's not even summer in Australia yet, but it's already unseasonably warm.
No matter where you go or what you do, wear breathable fabrics such as silk, cotton and linen. To keep cool and chic, use our hair straightener to style variations of the updo. Not only will you look great, but you're saving yourself from sweaty hair problems!
Happy holidays and happy travels!
