"Book The Plane Ticket. Pack The Suitcase. Stamp The Passport. Be A Free Coconut!
Like Sean Kingston said in that one song, "we can go to the tropics, sip pina coladas, shawty, I could take you there"! Planning a trip to a tropical paradise? Packing can certainly feel like a hassle, between making sure each look is picture-worthy while simultaneously making sure you won't exceed that 50 pound luggage weight limit. Well, The Chatty Coconut has provided you with 5-different tropical travel packing essentials so that you can start crossing items off your checklist. That way, you are one step closer to living The Free Coconut lifestyle: young, wild, and free.
It's The Little Things: Pack a Tropical Survival Kit!
It is my travel philosophy that I'd rather have something and not need it, than need something and not have it. I'm totally Type-A if you couldn't tell! However, my OCD has proven to be beneficial for one thing, and that is providing you with all of the essentials for a mini tropical survival kit full of vacation-ready essentials. You'll of course need sunscreen to protect you from that beaming tropical sun, band-aids for my more daring ladies that love a scenic nature-filled hike, and this one's for my curvier girls: an anti-chafing stick so that when your amazingly thick thighs rub together, your beach town getaway doesn't become misery town. Add a claw clip to keep that wild beach hair out of your face, and a camera of course to capture those sun-soaked style memories. This small kit full of hacks you might not have thought about will keep you radiant, confident, and ready for whatever coastal adventures are in store.
Not One, Not Two, But Three Swimsuits!
The golden rule on every tropical vacation? One bathing suit is simply not enough! And if you're extra like me, neither is two. No matter how long the duration of your vacation is, three bathing suits is the perfect number! Here at The Free Coconut, we value a woman's right to choose😉 so ensure that you have options, options, and more options. Every woman has experienced that horribly uncomfortable moment of having to put on a still-wet bathing suit, so save yourself from the worry of whether or not your bikini will dry in time for the next excursion! With endless beach vacation outfit ideas, this trio of suits will keep you feeling confident and carefree all vacation long.
Bouncy & Beautiful Skin: Sun Protection Essentials
I know, I know, having to constantly remind yourself to reapply your sunscreen is annoying and super easy to forget. However, it is important! But, on the off-chance you forget that second or third coat a stylish hat and a cool pair of sunglasses will serve as your sunburn bodyguards, plus they're coastal getaway essentials and a must for navigating every tropical climate. Whether you're shopping around seaside markets or chilling on the sand, these accessories add a touch of vacation outfit inspiration while also keeping you safe and comfortable in that sticky, hot weather. Think of them as your right hand men for sun-soaked style and skin protection.
Keep Your Shoes Comfy & Cute With These Styles
Remember those band-aids I told you to pack just in case? Let's try to avoid them at all costs by packing comfy and cute sandals. Whether you are wandering the beaches hunting for that perfect seashell or headed out to a delicious tropical dinner, they are the most versatile shoe in all the land. Get yourself in that coastal casual fashion mindset with a simple, chic, and resort wear ready pair of strappy sandals. They work seamlessly with swimsuits, sundresses, co-ord sets, or even just a pair of jean shorts with your favorite ratty t-shirt. These are the shoes that will walk you through your dream getaway and will be a forever staple in your vacation-ready wardrobe. And hey, if you want to pack a pair that has a little heel, this is me giving you permission to be a little impractical in the name of fashion!
Be Island Market Ready-Pack a Tote Bag!
No hot weather packing list is complete without a vacation carry-all bag and lucky for you ladies, The Free Coconut has made the perfect vacation-ready tote! The Free Coconuts tote is designed for the woman who wants to be young, wild, and free while shopping at seaside stalls, getting lost in beautiful produce at the local island market, and carrying all of your beach essentials. Think beach totes for women that are a chic accessory, a reusable errand bag, and perfect for exploring costal towns all in one. We promise that this tote will become a permanent part of your lightweight travel fashion routine! It's durable, spacious, stylish and everything that a travel-friendly tote bag should be for all of your island adventures.
