I’m the kind of person who gets to the airport three hours early. I love preparing, and I hate being rushed. Getting ready for vacation can be stressful — all that planning! all that budgeting! — but if at the end of it you can relax on a tropical island, it’s worth the work.
The part of planning for a beach vacation that I most enjoy is my pre-vacation beauty regimen. Usually my beauty routines all fall on a carefully-spread-out schedule over a few months to balance out both the time and money I spend. When I’m getting ready for vacation, every grooming service I sign up for gets compressed into the week before I leave town.
