So you’ve booked the hotel, uploaded your ultimate holiday play list, and made a note of all of the best beaches, shops and party hotspots to visit. Now all that’s left to do is pack all of your holiday must haves before heading off to your Summer vacation destination. Make sure your holiday is memorable for all the right reasons by making sure to pack the following top 5 Summer Vacation essentials.

A Cute New Bikini

If there was ever a good excuse to indulge in a new bikini, going on a Summer Vacation would be it. Figure flattering vintage cuts, chic one pieces, bold animal prints and sports luxe inspired designs are all on trend for Summer 2015. Opt for stylish separates that you can mix and match and don’t forget to invest in a versatile and lightweight sarong that can double as a wrap-around skirt or makeshift blanket.

Keep Your Skin Silky Smooth With Waxing

You don’t want to have to deal with unsightly stubble or be having to worry about shaving on your Summer vacation. Not only is waxing an inexpensive and longer lasting option for hair removal, waxing also removes that annoying stubble and the regrowth of hair is much slower. The other benefit is that you avoid any chance of suffering from unsightly nicks and cuts from razors. Keep your body silky smooth and bikini ready with the Nad’s Body Wax Strips (RRP $7.99) (www.nads.com), which are quick, convenient and easy to use. The specially crafted natural beeswax formula effectively removes hair gently and moulds to all your curves, making it easy to reach those tricky areas.

Sun Smart Essentials

While not the most exciting thing to pack, a good quality sunscreen is definitely a Summer vacation must have. Avoid looking like a red lobster by using a water resistant formula with an SPF 50+, and remember to generously reapply every couple of hours, especially after swimming. There are plenty of lightweight sunscreens out on the market that don’t feel greasy or heavy on the skin, so there’s no excuse not to wear any! For the ultimate beach vibe, go for a coconut scented formula that will leave a sweet tropical scent. To complete the look, protect your face with a stylish wide brimmed hat and a chic pair of sunglasses to shield your eyes from the sun.

An Oversized Beach Bag

Perfect for trips to the beach, shops or a party, an oversized beach bag can fit all of your holiday essentials and can also be used for your carry-on luggage. Pick a fun bright colour or patterned design and make sure it’s big enough, and that the fabric is durable enough, to fit your beach towels, change of clothes, snacks, magazines, etc.

Make Up Wipes

Resist the temptation to fall asleep in your makeup while on vacation, instead keep things simple with some makeup remover wipes. Go for makeup wipes that also have moisturising benefits, to help keep your skin hydrated after being exposed to sun, salt and chlorine. Makeup wipes also have the added bonus of being much easier to transport, especially when flying!
