Olivia Rodriguez’s Holiday Rules

Tell us about yourself!

My interests include travel, fitness and fashion. I grew up doing ballet, gymnastics and competitive cheer. I am currently a senior at the University of California, Santa Barbara and study Economics and Accounting. I’m academically competitive and have always enjoyed working very hard and finishing at the top of my class. The only thing I love more than getting an ‘A’ in a class is being on set with a group of creative people.

What is your favourite vacation destination?

Southern France, specifically Antibes and Saint-Tropez. Also, Mallorca!

Top hotel?

I love Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes and Le Sirenuse in Positano!

Packing essentials?

My AirPod Max headphones, silk sleeping mask, Clorox wipes and Aquaphor.

What’s your advice to always look fashionable when you’re travelling?

For me, preparation is everything! I don’t want to spend time thinking about clothes when I reach my destination. I do spend quite a bit of time planning exactly what I’m going to wear while I’m there. I like to put each outfit in airtight Ziplocs so they are easy to open up and throw on. In general, I like to have a daytime and evening outfit for every day of travel. Because of this attention to detail, packing is always a huge hassle, but it’s worth it once I arrive and I don’t have to think at all!

What are your travel skincare and makeup tips?

Whenever I’m travelling my skin gets super dry. I always bring my travel-size skincare routine on the plane with me and apply a little more lotion than usual right before I try to go to sleep. If I’m on a summer vacation, I love to wear light foundation so I can let the sun hit my face a little more than usual for a sun-kissed look.

The one beauty product you can’t live without?

My favourite beauty product is the Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Highlighter Wand in peachgasm. I love tons of pink blush on my cheeks and a glowy makeup look and this product is the perfect combination of the two!

How would you define your style?

My style is a mix of trendy, classic and preppy.

How do you stay fit on vacation?

I try to do a 20-minute pilates YouTube video workout every day in my hotel room right when I wake up. I also love to walk everywhere!

Favourite spa treatment?

I love a dip manicure.

Where are you travelling next?

White Lotus season 2 inspires me to go to Sicily next!

What are some of your must-have “at the pool” fashion and beauty essentials?

I love the Supergoop Glow Oil Body Sunscreen because it has SPF and I can tan with it! I also love a big hat and the LaneigeLip Sleeping Mask for hydration. My favourite bikinis for tanning are FAE because they are the most comfortable fit, perfect amount of coverage, and most flattering.
