Many things are necessary and indispensable, so make a list that starts with the essential things, those things that you always will need on the trip no matter what. Put a limit, do not take more than a suitcase if it’s not necessary. If one suitcase is not enough, put another limit, add a second bag that is not too heavy.

Among the important things, you’ll find your swimsuit, which does not occupy much space. Most of us always take two or three, and a little trick is to take the top or the bottom that combines with two swimsuits simultaneously and still saves more space. Towel, tanning oil or sunscreen are key. Put the towel underneath since it takes most of the space. Remember to carry the sunblock, tanning oil, or any other liquid in plastic bags, preferably individually, so that in case of an accident, you don’t ruin all your luggage.

Take light clothing for the day, thin, short or long dresses, and some pants or jacket in case the cold weather or a night out in the town come. Do not forget an elegant dress for the evening and as for shirts or blouses take one per day and only one extra for emergencies.

Shoes should be minimized since they take a lot of space. Sandals during the day and the occasional pair of heels. Try to take those that go with most of your clothes so you bring just a few.

In regards to accessories, let’s start with the sunglasses which are indispensable. Every day we have new fashionable lenses which include protection from the harmful sun rays. Do not forget a beach bag, our Wayuu purses are the perfect companions because of their comfortable and trendy designs that go perfectly with your swimwear. They have enough space to accommodate your favorite book, your phone, your glasses and more.

Find the balance between colors, contrasts, designs and your skin tone and hair color. Here’s some basic examples that will help you choose the perfect color and design to enhance your beauty.

If you are blonde with very white skin, light blue colors like turquoise and olive green are great. Forget white and black. Neither gray or yellow tones are the most suitable colors. If your skin tone is dark, in this case gold, yellow or orange would be perfect and will cause sensation.

Light brown hair allows multiple possibilities. In this case, the bikinis in earth tones look great and show your sensual side. Within this broad range of brown, use lighter colors if you have dark skin (including super fashionable nude tone) and if you have the fortune of a skin between white and gold, a bikini in chocolate tones will be perfect with your hair and will highlight your skin.

If you have dark hair, take risks with flattering contrasts as violet / purple swimsuit (perfect for the most white skin) or red (pure “fire” to the most brunettes). The pastel shades are also a hit, especially blue or pink. Another option is a favorable pattern to soften the seriousness of your black hair. If you are dark-skinned, avoid the yellow or fuchsia tones. The contrast is too powerful and it doesn’t favor you.

Reddish hair largely defines your image and, if natural, is often coupled with very white skin or a soft golden hue and covered with youthful freckles. Redheads look good  in marine blue and dark green, instead of orange and yellow, which are not your best choice. If your case is auburn / chocolate hair, the earth, eggplant or purple tones fill your beach look of elegance and glamour.

1. Identify the shape of your body: The most common forms depending on where your weight is, are determined as Apple, Pear, Hourglass, Strawberry and Straight Tower. See the following image to determines your figure.

2. Remember to shave before you leave and make sure your underwear is clean and presentable.

3. Look for online stores and styles that are to your liking so you have an idea of what you want when you go out to try on swimsuits.

4. Choose fabrics and colors that flatter your figure such as:

• To emphasize a feature you like, use a bright or patterned color.
• To hide something you don’t like, use a solid color.
• If you have pale skin, use black or deep colors like deep purple, navy and brown.
• If you have dark skin, bright colors are most flattering and help you hide what you don’t like.
• To add volume (like bust or hip), choose a piece with ruffles in that area.
• To hide volume (like your waist), use corrugated fabric.
• Don’t be afraid of buying separate pieces that do not match perfectly!

5. Choose the right cut.

• A one piece swimsuit hides your waist.
• A style that has the bottom up to the waist can also help you hide the waist.
• A tankini accentuates your waist, because it’s directed to the section of skin that’s visible. If you love your waist but not your hips or bust, choose this one.
• The type “boyshorts” make your hips look wider, regardless of color. If you have a big bust and you’d like your hip to look about the same size as an hourglass figure, choose the shorts. However, keep in mind that this style can be uncomfortable for some women, so you should be sure before you buy anything.
• High bikinis make your legs look longer. If you are short, or you have a long torso, this is a good choice.
• Halter top brings attention to the bust, same as the triangle style.
• The top bikinis that tie in front attract attention to the bust, and bring the breasts together, making them look bigger. If you have small breasts and want them to look a little bigger, this may be an option.
• Type bandeau top (strapless) will make the bust look wider. If your figure is pear and you want the hourglass look, choose a ruffled bandeau or other similar detail.
• If you have a large bust, look for a straight cut in bikini tops with wide straps to minimize it. Try a bikini top with rod and a thick belt for extra support. This prevents significant movement so that the bra stays in place and doesn’t fall.

6. Choose a swimsuit that fits its primary use. Do not buy a bikini thread if you plan to swim or surf much. The bikinis are very limited when it comes to high intensity activities in a pool or in the sea, but a tankini will stay in place without any problem.

7. Ask for help if you still have doubts. It is good to have a second opinion and what better than a professional to help you with your measurements and ensure that your purchase is satisfactory to your taste.

1. Avoid infection by washing your hands, and the fruits and vegetables you eat.
2. Make sure the water you drink is completely clean and don’t drink from any faucet or unknown source.
3. Good sleep is important for many processes in your body. Try to sleep 6-7 hours and include a short nap whenever you can.
4. Eliminate any vice such as smoking and alcohol. Alcohol is especially delicious but contains calories that drink after drink, will not let you achieve your ideal weight.
5. Put the clock to get up early and start your day with a workout. You will wake your metabolism immediately and burn more calories than normal.
6. Seize the summer to go out and enjoy the environment. It’s time to practice your favorite outdoor sports and at the same time receive Vitamin D that is so important for many functions in your body. Be careful! Don’t forget to always wear sunblock and do not exceed your exposure to the sun.
7. Check your blood sugar. Remember that eating right is a lifestyle and not a diet. This doesn’t mean that you should restrict all sweets in your life, it is about eating in tiny portions so it won’t affect you.
8. Finally remember to hydrate constantly to maintain a healthy digestion and radiant skin.
