Spring Break Hacks 101

Spring Break can be an opportunity for the trip of a lifetime— the perfect gateway from your daily grind, or an chance to spend quality time with your loved ones. But sometimes it can just be stressful and things could take a right-turn! Girls Gone Dotcom wants to make sure that this year will be the best spring break ever, which is why we have found the best Spring Break Hacks that are sure to help turn your beach trip into a week of paradise!

1. Beach + Phone = Ziplock

Make sure to put your cellphone in a ziplock baggie whenever you go to the beach to avoid water or sand damage. Nothing says a ruined vacation like a broken phone, am I right? The best part is that your touchscreen will still work through the plastic. MAGIC! (This also works great for small jewelry and hair ties).

2. DIY Coconut Spray For That Frizzy & Dry Beach Hair

Who hates that dry and tangly wet hair feeling after swimming in the ocean? A quick fix: mix coconut oil with water and lavender oil in a spray bottle (this works miracles)! It'll keep your wet hair looking fresh and fabulous!

2. Hide Your Alcohol in an Empty Sunscreen Bottle

Before you say anything, of course I mean a thoroughly cleaned sunscreen bottle!!! A lot of vacation beaches prohibit drinking on the beach and red solo cups can be a dead giveaway! So have your frisky fun-under-the-sun with this sneaky Spring Break hack!

3. Freeze Aloe Vera Before Heading To The Beach

Nothing is worse than getting a terrible sunburn after being out by the beach all day. To help make the pain go away faster, pop some aloe vera gel in the freezer before you head out to the beach! That way when you get back, you can rub it on your skin and instantly feel cool and refreshed (and pain free woo-hoo)!

4. Use Baby Powder to Remove Sand!

There's nothing better than the feeling of digging my toes in the sand whenever I'm at the beach. But once I'm ready to pack up and leave, it usually takes forever to clean off the sand all over me. Well, we gotta HACK-FOR-THAT! Use baby powder to easily remove that sandy mess. Just apply it to your skin, allowing it to soak up all of the moisture from your wet sandy body and you're good to go!

5. Lemons Will Give Your Hair Natural Highlights

Vamp up your Spring Break hair-do with lemons (literally). When you squeeze a fresh lemon onto your hair, the acidity will lock onto your strands and whenever the sun hits them, you can expect to see some subtle lighter highlights!

6. Keep Your Money in an Empty Chapstick

Avoid the hassle and paranoia of bringing your wallet to the beach. Chances are your money will get wet or stolen. Instead, opt for this creative hack! All you have to do is find an old chapstick, empty and clean the container, and fold your dollar bills inside! I guarantee no one will want to swipe your chapstick lol!

From stolen cash to burnt skin to sober beach days… all of which can turn your perfect spring break trip into a total nightmare. We hope these fun and creative hacks help make your vacation pure bliss!
