Are you lucky enough to have Santa giving you some Sunshine for the Holidays?! Well, if tropical beaches are on your wish list -- and Santa didn't get the memo, check out kayak for the best and easiest booking tool I have ever found.
Even if you can only get away of 3 or 4 days, trust me, it will be good for your mental health! Anticipation of a trip is almost a healing as the trip it's self! A little retail therapy with a sunny destination in mind will clear up even the gloomiest of forecasts! Most of the items listed below can be purchased at our fab friends at
Target.
My local Target is testing it's retail mix for just this option - they have
swim suits out RIGHT NOW!

1. Get Your Glow On:
Get ready to show more skin with
some self-tanning - and not a tanning bed! Repeat after me: 'Bed = Bad'. So, what tanning products live up to my tough standards?
Lavera Self Tanning Lotion is perfect! (Target: $28.) It gives great tan (no orange) color, it does NOT stink or streak. And best of all it is free from all the chemicals and junk you DO NOT need to put on your skin!
2. Be Ready for Pool Side Beauty:
Check out the cool line of pool-safe (waterproof) eye liner and mascara from
Boots International also available at Target. These crazy, beautiful liquid liners STAY PUT. Appropriately named "Stay Perfect". They come in silver, copper, royal blue and a beautiful champagne gold (Target: $8.99). "Stay Perfect" Mascara/Black and Dark Brown (Target: $7.99)
3. Speaking of Showing More Skin:
Have you seen your thighs lately? Has ANYTHING between your chin and knees seen the light of day in the last 3 months!? Well, it's time to tidy up! If

waxing or shaving your BIKINI LINE has fallen OFF of your 'To-Do List' -then it's time for Bikini Kitty to the rescue! You'll want to start conditioning your skin to be shaved or
waxed at least a week before your trip. So plan accordingly. Make that
spa appointment - or if your a
shaving/DIY kinda gal - start exfoliating NOW! (Select Spas and on-line: 3 month supply $24. -$40.)

5. Get "Barbie" Perfect Legs:
So, maybe you only have issues with potential ingrowns on your Bikini line or underarms... that is what Bikini Kitty is reserved for. But for your legs - and especially for easy travel, try
Schick's Intuition Shave system. This amazing razor for legs (or any place you are NOT prone to ingrowns) is perfect for light packing. The triple razor is surrounded by a bar of 'shave lotion' solid. You can shave under the flow of water - staying warm... and by keeping the razor against your leg in both the up
and back motion will deliver the lubricating lotion better and eliminates potential nicks from lifting the blade and sleepy, bad aim!
6. Keep Your "Barbie" Legs Sexy & Super Shiny:
One of the best all over moisturizers I have ever found - is also the perfect travel partner. Check out the
Lo-Lo Bar. (Select Shops & Online $12.50/lg -$6./sm) This natural, organic, petroleum-free solid body moisturizing bar is worry free in this 'no-spill' formula. You'll stay soft and sexy for hours! You can use Lo-Lo from head to toe - so packing light just keeps getting better and better!
7. Don't Forget Some Protection:

Your first three days in a (suddenly) tropical location will be a shock to your skin. So DO wear protection!
Neutrogena has a great selection of hight SPF products in 'Dry Touch' fomulations that are effective and yet not heavy or greasy. (Target: $8. to $9.)

If your planning on in-water sports check out the VERY water-proof
Bull Frog Sun Block. I like the kids version - as it smells (softly) like water mellon. (Target: $7-$9)
Oh, and if 'he' forgets which suit you really want, order one for yourself - with the 20% off sale they are running RIGHT NOW online!
