🇲🇽 women traveling to Mexico are grabbing these quickly before their next trip...


Hi Reader!

I've noticed that many friends and people I'm in touch with are starting to book their travel plans for a vacation in Mexico. No reason to wait until the month to start researching what you'll be bringing with you to Mexico, especially if it's a new location that you intend to visit. Start now by looking at and picking up a few Mexico beach vacation essentials before prices jump again closer to peak travel season.
​
​My article explaining destination-specific items you should bring on your trip to Mexico has consistently stayed on the 1st page of Google's search results for 47 common phrases related to Mexico Packing List Google searches. The article linked in the 1st sentence of this email is one of my articles that receives the most positive feedback from my 32,000 to 33,000 women followers in my private all-female Facebook Group. Based on my experience living in Mexico for over a decade, I find that people often overlook the items below.

​RFID Blocking Passport Holder​
Keeping your passport, cards, and travel documents together in an RFID-protected holder adds an extra layer of security and makes airport days and hotel check-ins dramatically easier. The brand, HERO, makes superior holders with high-quality stitching. I have this brand for my RFID passport holder.

​Towel Clips for Pool Chairs​
If you've ever had a towel fly away in a sudden beach breeze, you'll appreciate how these simple clips keep your spot secure while you swim, relax, or grab a drink.

​Sun Bum Sunscreen (New Products for 2026)​
Sun Bum continues to release fantastic reef-safe formulas that protect your skin from intense tropical sun while still feeling light and comfortable in humid climates. I continue to partner with them because I truly believe their Biodegradable Sunscreen is the most effective at keeping lobster-colored skin away AND not leaving toxic chemicals for lobsters and coral reefs.

​Liquid Hydration Accelerator & Power Packs​
MUST Have. These work, they do their job, and you are able to repeat your strenuous outdoor activities in the sun while in Mexico with additional vitamins, electrolytes, and minerals for higher water absorption

​Anti-Theft Purses​
A well-designed anti-theft purse gives solo travelers peace of mind with locking zippers, RFID protection, and slash-resistant straps that keep valuables secure while exploring.

​MagSafe Portable Phone Charger​
A compact magnetic charger keeps your phone powered all day so you always have maps, rides, and emergency items that are extremely helpful and easily available when you're out exploring.

These details and small upgrades are what make a BIG difference on your Mexico Vacation—and once you travel with them, you usually never go back.

Don't land in Mexico and realize you forgot something that would have made the trip easier. You won't find the items I listed above in the Yucatan Peninsula, and they can be hard to find. Buy them before you leave your home country.

And if you're anything like me, you'll be glad you packed it.

Hasta pronto,
​
