| What Should You Bring To California |
The Essentials: More Than Just Sunscreen
You might think all you need for California is a bathing suit and a really good attitude. While that's a solid start, let's get real.
- Sunscreen: This is a no-brainer. Unless you want to look like a cooked lobster by the end of your trip, slap on that SPF.
- Comfortable Shoes: You'll be walking a lot. Trust me, your feet will thank you.
- Layers: California weather can be a fickle mistress. One moment you're sweating, the next you're shivering. Be prepared.
- A Sense of Humor: California is full of eccentric people. You'll need to be able to laugh at yourself (and them).
Optional But Highly Recommended
- Reusable Water Bottle: Because plastic is bad for the environment and buying water constantly is expensive.
- Hat: To protect your precious face from the sun. Baseball caps are cool, but a wide-brimmed hat is even cooler.
- Good Vibes: Seriously, this is non-negotiable. Leave your bad mood at home.
Things You Definitely Don't Need
- A Coat (unless you're going to the mountains): It's California, people. Not Alaska.
- Formal Wear: Unless you're attending a fancy gala, jeans and a nice top will suffice.
- Your Entire Wardrobe: Pack light! You can always buy more stuff there.
How to Survive California
California is a magical place, but it can also be a bit overwhelming. Here are a few quick tips:
 |
- How to deal with traffic: Embrace it. Listen to a podcast, enjoy the scenery (or lack thereof), and try not to scream.
- How to find good avocado toast: Follow your nose. Or, just go to any trendy caf�.
- How to spot a celebrity: Don't stare. Act casual. And for the love of Pete, don't ask for a selfie.
- How to surf: Take a lesson. Or, just admire the pros from the beach.
- How to enjoy the sunshine: Close your eyes, breathe deep, and feel the warmth on your skin.
Remember, California is all about relaxation and good times. So, kick back, soak up the sun, and enjoy your trip!
