What's In My Travel Bag/ Travel Essentials!

So as it is the summer holidays *yay* most people will be travelling away for a break. If you’re going to Cornwall or LA you obviously need to pack a suitcase and have a bag handy with all your essential things, as I’m nosey I enjoy watching and reading about what people put in their travel/ carry-on bag therefore I thought I would share what I usually put in mine. I’m going to Turkey in literally one day so I have made a list of all the things I will be putting in my rucksack.

1. I got this navy floral rucksack from Amazon about two years ago (I think) it was really cheap, only about £10 and it has lasted well. I really like the bag as it is comfy and big so it’s good for travelling.

2. Some things of mine which make the journey about 5,000,000 times easier to get through include;

·         A notebook and pen- I prefer writing on paper then on the notes app on my phone. You can do anything in a notebook to pass the time, write stories, doodle, literally anything, It’s yours.
·         Headphones- I like to take two pairs of headphones with me when travelling, I take my apple ones which came with my phone and some over the head ones from a brand called Wezc I think.
·         Phone/ IPod/ Tablet- I love music and it makes journeys and long waits bearable so I usually take my Phone and IPod with me when travelling and sometimes my Kindle but I don’t use it much.

3. Necessities of mine which I put in my rucksack are;

·         Kwells travel tablets- just in case of a long drive or turbulence
·         Paracetamol
·         Lip balm- I always carry a lip balm with me and I love the EOS ones my favourite at the moments is Honeysuckle Honeydew because it tastes like watermelon and that reminds me of summer!
·         Hand gel- Aeroplanes, buses and trains can be very dirty and people often don’t realise. I always carry hand gel with me.
·         Deodorant- Because you don’t want to be that guy who smells nasty.
·         Portable charger- My phone always runs out of charge and my portable charger from Poweradd is so good for travelling and long days out.
·         Water- …
·         Hair ties- Long hair… gets annoying.
·         Sunglasses- For when you get to your holiday destination, hopefully you will need them.

4. I enjoy reading, especially on holiday when I don’t spend 400 hours on my phone, I can get through a few books really easily whilst sun bathing throughout the trip. It is also a way to kill time whilst traveling. To Turkey I’m taking;

·         The beginning of everything- Robyn Schneider (Read her other book Extraordinary means, it’s so good)
·         The great Gatsby- F. Scott Fitzgerald (Ezra?)
·         To kill a mocking bird- Harper Lee
·         All the bright places- Jennifer Niven (Recommended by Zoella)
·         Q & A a day- In this journal you answer a question a day for 5 years and I really enjoy filling it out every day.

5. And lastly some other makeup products I’ll be taking in my carry-on bag, which I need to get a clear bag for, include;
·         Stay Matte Powder- Rimmel, because I no like being shiny and to set the concealer if I use it.
·         Concealer- Collection lasting perfection (For spots or redness), Rimmel wake me up (In a lighter shade for under my eyes. I would only bother using these if I had any really bad spots or if we’re going out after we land/ meeting people.
·         Hand food- Soap and glory, flying always makes my hands dry so I like to take this with me.
·         Makeup brushes- Jessup angled flat top for powder and Jessup tapered brush for concealer under my eyes (also a smaller concealer brush for spots/ redness). Even though I have brushes from higher end brands the Jessup brushes have really impressed me, they were really cheap at about £12 for 10. Also if I lose them it won’t be the end of the world :)

I hope you've liked finding out what’s in my travel bag and that it helped you in some way. Enjoy the rest of your summer holiday and have a safe journey if you’re travelling. 

Hello

Well hello everyone, not like I think anybody in their right mind would take time out of their life to read this sad blog post, but hello.

I am very new to this whole blog thing but I enjoy reading blogs such as Zoella (Zoe Sugg), Tanya Burr, Lily Pebbles and more. I'll leave there links down below. But because I’ve enjoyed reading them so much I thought I would give writing one myself a shot.

I have always been too scared to start a blog because I would get all these thoughts like what if no one would read it and everyone would call me a failure e.c.t I sincerely hope I’m not talking to myself :/ But anyway this blog will contain lots like hauls, reviews, first impressions, life lessons and more. I hope you do keep reading my little posts as it would mean the world to me. Hopefully I shall post soon.

Hope you are all enjoying your summer holidays.
