Andrew and I are heading to Tampa next week! I am so excited. It’s our first solo trip without Liam, so I am sad to leave him but excited to spend some quality time with my husband. I can’t wait to share why we are going to Tampa and what we are doing once we return! Today I am sharing my Tampa packing list!

Tampa Packing List
Clothes: Lots of dresses including this one and this one. Favorite workout crops and tanks for beach yoga (can’t wait!!!!). A few things to lounge in like this cute t-shirt and these cut off shorts. Of course swimsuits and coverups. This swimsuit from Target is my current favorite.
Shoes: I tend to really overpack shoes, so this trip I am taking beach/pool sandals, my favorite easy summer sandals, running shoes for working out, and espadrilles.
Accessories: A versatile pair of statement earrings, an easy pop of color crossbody bag, my airplane tote, beach tote. Plus a great pair of sunnies! I really try to keep it simple.
Beauty: I won’t go through every product because most are listed here for my skincare routine, and other beauty products I am loving. But a few other things I am sure to pack: this makeup eraser which has been amazing, a serum I really love post sun, my go to sunscreen, texture spray for my hair.
Misc: My iPad for beach reading loaded with great books, my AirPods, my favorite lip balm, and my external charger.
Did I miss anything?? Anything I should include? Any great beach reads you think I should grab?
Can’t wait to share about our trip!

Girl I think you are ready to go and thanks for listing this because I see a few things on your packing list I would love In my closet
I wish I could bring less gadgets when I travel, however, since writing/blogging is my job, I have to regularly post articles and photos to keep my traffic up. Thanks for sharing your packing tips. Hopefully, the next time we travel, I can pack light.
I also pack a lot of maxi dresses when I go on vacation. They always look great and feel fresh and cool during hot summer days.
Love those sandals and the espresso shirt!
