]]>Sunscreen (SPF 30+)
Whether you opt for a cream, a moisturizer with SPF, or a spray-on formula, taking some form of sunscreen away with you is non-negotiable. Even if you’re heading to colder climes, protecting your skin from harmful UV rays will avoid any uncomfortable tightness or burning, and will also ensure that your skin is being taken care of and protected for the long term.

There is nothing worse than feeling like your skin is layered up with sunscreen, sand, and salt from the sea, and being unable to thoroughly cleanse it. Decant a bit of your favorite cleanser into a travel bottle if you don’t want to take the whole bottle with you. Cleanser will help balance your skin and keep it feeling fresh, which is particularly important if you’re vacationing somewhere hot and humid.
Moisturizer
Even if your skin tends to be oilier, moisturizer is a great way of balancing and calming your skin. Choose a lighter formula if you’re visiting somewhere warm and layer it under your SPF to create a natural barrier that will keep your skin feeling hydrated and healthy.

]]>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.
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.

]]>No matter how much you might love your work, not taking regular vacations is a proven recipe for burnout that can lead to major health issues and end up requiring an even longer break. Taking vacations can help you return to work refreshed and reenergized and thus better able to cope with challenges and day-to-day stressors. Also, they’re really fun!
Here are 12 signs you desperately need a vacation from work.
1. You begin to look like your passport photo
It might sound like an old joke but there’s a lot of truth to it. Any signs of chronic stress that might be signaling impending burnout are obvious red flags: irritability with colleagues, finding it difficult to concentrate on routine tasks, chronic tension headaches, back strain, stomach issues are all a sign you need to relax.
2. When you begin missing important events in your personal life
If you find yourself having missed too many family dinners, school concerts, or family outings, it could be a clue that you need to reconnect with your family during some much needed vacation time.
3. You’re starting to make more mistakes at work
Whether it’s errors on financial reports or customer transactions, if you find you’re making more mistakes than usual, it could be a sign you need to reboot your mental hardware.
4. You’re no longer enthusiastic about your work
If you’re not as excited to get into work on a Monday morning as you once were, or you dread a work activity that you once enjoyed, you probably need a break.
5. You’re having trouble sleeping
Whether you’re having trouble falling asleep or waking up at 3:00 every morning, sleep issues can be a symptom of overwork and stress, or it can be a signal that you’re too focused on your work at the expense of everything else.
6. You’ve lost your sense of humor
If you find yourself not laughing as easily as you once did, or you find it harder to find humor in challenging work situations, it could be a major sign.
7. Molehills routinely become mountains
Things that you could easily shrug off in the past or manage effectively now seem like insurmountable obstacles.
8. Your entire life revolves around your work
If your entire identity is wrapped into your work, so much so that you’ve forgotten who the real you is, then it’s time for a vacation.
9. You can only think about work to the exclusion of most other things in your life
When you spend most of your off hours thinking or talking about work, it could be a sign you need to refocus your priorities with a vacation.
10. You start making unhealthy choices to cope with stress
Reaching for a glass of wine as soon as you’re in the door from work, overeating, or forgoing your normal exercise routine, can all be signs you need to shake things up with a vacation.
11. Your downtime isn’t down enough
If rather than going for a run or participating in fun activities in your off hours, all you can manage to do is drag yourself to your couch when you get home because your energy level is so depleted, you probably need to reenergize.
12. You daydream about anything but work
When you find yourself daydreaming at work more and more about winning the lottery or dream vacations rather than focusing on your and your company’s goals and well-being, it’s time to book a trip.
