Hello Cool-Girls ! Do you ever get as excited about planning a trip as the trip itself? I call it the “summer holiday prep”. It is a special treat filled with girly things and pampering self-care.
It’s like a countdown party leading up to your adventure! I’ve created a special summer holiday prep calendar to help you get organized and maximize your pre-trip excitement. Imagine packing being a breeze and departure day stress-free! Let’s dive in and get your summer holiday started weeks before you even leave!

Pre-Book Your Beauty Appointments: Don’t let beauty maintenance stress steal your pre-vacation glow! Book appointments for essentials like waxing, nails, or a balayage refresh 5 weeks in advance. This ensures you look and feel your best while maximizing your relaxation time before the trip.
2. Ordering your Outfits – 4 Weeks to Go !
Order Your Holiday Outfits Early: Online orders can be unpredictable, so avoid last-minute shopping stress (and potential rush delivery fees) by securing your outfits a few weeks before your trip. This gives you plenty of time for delivery and any necessary returns or exchanges.

Pre-Trip Meal Plan to Empty Your Fridge: The weekend before the trip is also the best moment to plan empty your fridge without wasting your food before leaving.
