It’s time for you to take a spur of the moment trip with the girls to the Breathless Resorts & Spas—you deserve it! Leave your husband and kids at home for the weekend, grab your girlfriends and hop on a flight to paradise. Before you depart, be sure to bring these five essentials in your beach bag:

• A Good Read – No beach day is complete without a compelling book! Try picking up a copy of Outliers by Malcom Gladwell or Looking for Alaska by John Green.
• Camera – Be sure to bring a nice point-and-shoot camera to capture candid moments of fun in sun!
• Polarized sunglasses – Spending hours in the sun can damage your eyes, so be sure to look for    polarized sunglasses to bring on your trip. They block the entire spectrum of harmful UVA and UVB rays and keep your eyes protected.
• SPF Lip Balm – Don’t leave your suite without a nice shimmer on your lips.  Be sure to bring along a lip balm with at least 15 SPF!
• Sunblock with a Glow – Pick up some sunblock (preferable with 30 SPF or more) that adds a glow to your skin.  There are many available at your local drugstore that contain shimmering glows that will make you stand out on the beach.

These five items will make your island getaway a breeze! Book your stay today at our newest resort Breathless Punta Cana!
