]]>How Many?
Sometimes, going away as a larger group of friends can help to dispel tensions. If you start getting fed up with someone on day four of the trip, it matters less if there are six other people to chat with and hang out with. However, going away as a large group can be logistically tricky. You will need to make sure that you can find accommodation that can comfortably house everyone, and you will need to ensure that there is some agreement about where you’re going and what you’re doing on vacation.
How Close?
If you’re going away with one friend, you will need to feel confident that you are pretty close—certainly, you will need to feel close enough that you can express your views comfortably without feeling like you’re silencing yourself. Traveling as a pair or trio can be super fun and super intense, so make sure that your friendships can survive some of the inevitable stresses that come with traveling.

Many people feel that they can handle the idea of a weekend away with pals, but the thought of a week-long vacation fills them with mild horror. Try and work out how long you want to be away with your friends, and stick to this time limit. Even if your friends want to stay away for longer, you can always book a flight or train back early so that you stay in good spirits throughout the vacation.

]]>Tennis Shoes
Forever stylish and cool, bright white tennis shoes strike the right note for spring, and will hold up well in light rain or if the temperature is on the cool side. You can of course always opt for a shade other than white if you’re concerned about your shoes getting dirty while you’re away, but white feels very fresh for the season and will go with all of your outfits.
Slingbacks
Not only are slingback styles seriously chic this season, but they’re also the ideal evening shoe when you’re on vacation. Sleek and versatile, they’ll look great with pants, skirts, or dresses and they will look refined without being impossible to walk in. They should also slip inside your suitcase without adding too much bulk or weight.
(@sapphire_clothiers)Slip On Clogs
If you felt like the Birkenstock Boston clog style peaked last summer, you’re in for a surprise—these comfortable, versatile shoes are set to be just as popular this season. Pair them with socks as you move through the airport, wear them poolside, or go for a relaxed ramble around the town near to where you’re staying—your feet will stay comfortable and cool all day.

]]>Get The Right Case
Sometimes, getting the right makeup bag that keeps all of your products safe and organized might just be able to keep all of your products safe and secure. This could save you from having to leave certain items at home.
Carry Makeup Brushes Separately
Unlike small bottles and cases, makeup brushes can take up a lot of space. For this reason, you should pack them separately. What’s more, it will help to protect the bristles from harm.
Remember To Utilize Your Purse
It’s important to remember that airlines allow you to bring a personal item on board in addition to a piece of carry-on luggage. This comes in useful as you can put some makeup in your handbag, thereby saving space in your carry-on for other items. Alternatively, you could just put even more makeup in your carry-on if you don’t want to leave anything at home.

]]>The post 3 Benefits You’ll Get if You Vacation in Your Local Area appeared first on tworeddots.com.
]]>Spend Money on Activities, Not Travel
If you’re only driving an hour or catching a local train to your vacation destination, you can set aside more spending money for trips out to restaurants, lovely treats such as spa visits, or for spending on some gorgeous clothes you’ve discovered in a new store. Although flying to far-off places is exciting, it is also really expensive, so saving this money means you may have more to spend while on vacation.
Use Your Time Wisely
Flying to a destination uses up a lot of our precious holiday time. From the airport wait to spending the first few days getting over jet lag, sometimes flying can eat up the majority of the time we spend away. If you’re traveling locally, you will have more time to actually enjoy being on holiday, and you can focus on doing the things you enjoy rather than whiling away an afternoon in an airport lobby or in the passenger seat of the car.
Enliven Your Area
If you’re vacationing close to where you live, there’s a good chance that you will discover exciting new areas, shops, restaurants, and activities that you can carry on using even when your holiday is over. Staying close to home is a great way to refresh how you feel about the place where you live, so if you’re starting to feel like you’ve seen and done everything in your local area, try vacationing nearby to explore as much as you can.

]]>Quality Hiking Boots
Whether you opt for full-on boots, or some lighter hiking trainers, making sure you have proper footwear is non-negotiable. You’ll want to test this footwear out on a decent-length hike before your holiday, otherwise, there’s a risk that halfway through you’ll discover that your new shoes rub and are giving you blisters.
Water Bottles
If you’re hiking anywhere hot, you will need to pack plenty of water bottles. Hiking while dehydrated is not only no fun at all, but it’s also potentially dangerous. If you’re really striking out into the wilds, it’s worth investing in some water purification tablets (and reading up on how to use them) but for main trail hiking making sure that you’re well stocked with water bottles should see you through.
High Energy Snacks
If you’re walking long distances several days in a row, you’re going to get hungry! Make sure you have some high-energy snacks that won’t weigh you down—nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and chocolate (you are on holiday after all) are all good options.

]]>Have Faith in Neutrals
Copenhagen fashionistas prove that you don’t always need neon colors and experimental styles to make a statement. Combining quality neutrals with your own spin is a great way to look incredibly classy and cool. Investing in a few key pieces, whether it’s your sunglasses, handbag or shoes, can really pull an outfit together and make you stand out from the crowd.
When in Doubt, Wear Denim
While there isn’t a city in the world that can’t showcase some great denim looks, in Copenhagen wearing super-cool, relaxed denim styles is more like a way of life. As the weather warms up, pair your favorite jeans with a cute crop top or baby tee, and accessorize with as many or as few necklaces as you wish.
Twin Colors
If you’re going to add some pops of color to an outfit, why not twin them? Check out this great look which combines a bubblegum pink hat and bag to really emphasize this cute, spring-like shade. In Copenhagen, there’s no need to be afraid of color at all, at the recent Copenhagen fashion week many attendees were spotted in shades ranging from neon green to burnt umber.

]]>Anything Sharp
While knives are an obvious item to avoid bringing on a plane, think of anything sharp that in your carry-on that could be deemed sharp. Whether it’s a sharp keychain, razor blades, or nail clippers, it’s best to travel without these so as to avoid any security holdups.
(@tsa)Self-Defence Items
Yet again, items like knives and guns are prohibited from flights. Still, there are other self-defence items that could be confiscated from you by security. Pepper spray and a tazer are two obvious examples.
Hazardous Materials
Think about the types of batteries in your electronic devices as well as any cleaning materials you have. This is because bleach and acids are all prohibited.
