I wish I had nail polish remover. I kept painting over mine to touch it up & by the end of the week it was so thick that it was annoying me.   I also wish i remembered an invite & STD for

Everything on the packing lists on BDW (scissors x2, tape, travel sewing kit, etc). Those lists saved me!   Two pair of underwear per day (we always showered before dinner, so I needed a second pa

I like this thread!! I've learned quite a few things!

 

I like the shoe organizer idea, although I usually have pouches for everything so they usually stay in there throughout the whole trip. Will definitely pack the extension cord! Never thought of that!! And who knew about the chalk?! Pretty cool!

 

Someone mentioned it previously but when snorkeling or kayaking I always wear this Coolmax long sleeve shirt; it's extremely lightweight and very breathable. It dries in like 15 minutes in the sun or something and even when it's wet it doesn't weigh you down. Saves on the sunscreen and the hassle of reapplying. It's always on the top of my list to pack when heading to sunny destinations so I end up needing less sunscreen, which means less to pack. 

 

For those of you who forget, or don't want to pack extra detergent, shampoo works well to rinse out your bathing suit/bikini and your suit ends up smelling nice too when it dries. :) If you don't want to use the shampoo you brought, use the resort shampoo - and they replenish if you ask so you don't have to worry about running out. That's what I always do.

 

 

When it's really hot, a bikini top works better than a bra too. And since you're in a tropical destination, it's quite appropriate too! 

 

In addition, along with the items people have mentioned, these items are always on my packing list as I hate being without them: 

  • Emergen-C (or the Target brand) - it helps your immune system and keeps you energized. In hot water seems to taste better than in cold; my fiance adds honey/splenda. 
  • Wet wipes - I prefer to use these over hand-sanitizers as I don't feel like my hands are actually clean with sanitizers. 
  • Nail file
  • Nail clipper
  • Tweezer

 

As for the body powders, Urban Decay also has one out; has anyone tried that one? I definitely will have to get one of these powders for myself and especially for my fiance who will be wearing a suit!

So my bridal party had my bachelorette party for me on Saturday and a part of it happened to be a fantasia party :-D i was thrilled and before the lady could even begin her presentation i was asking her about the powder. She had some and poured a glass of water and put the powder in it...it was amazing. The powder just sat on the surface and when you put the powder on your finger and dipped it in a glass of water your finger comes out DRY! Needless to say i bought some LOL This stuff really works. The lady was super cute too when i told her i was getting married in Punta Cana she even gave me this little travel size version to put in my purse :) :)

hey ladies,

 

curious about this powder.  does it have a scent?  I'm having a custom perfume made and I would hate for it to interfere with my perfume.

 

Also, I know that there are a ton of mosquitos in the bahamas so an unscented bug spray is on my packing list.  anyone know of a good one?  again, hoping for unscented

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
