My Travelling Tips

Halo Dudes & Dudettes. - Long time no blogging! 

I recently returned from a lovely trip visiting family and friends in Brisbane, Australia. Whilst I was packing, on route and while I was there I came to think of some useful travel tips that I used and proved to be quite helpful to me.

At the beginning of the year I wrote a blog post about my Travel Toiletries & Make Up  essentials which sometimes I look to when travelling to make sure I have all the important things with me.
 I hope this post is as useful to me in my future travels and also helps you.
...Of course I must first share some pictures from my adventure :)

 In no particular order..

• Vacuum pack bags. I saved so much space in my suitcase but do rememeber not to over pack and be wary of the weight limit. click here
• Use shower caps to individually and neatly hold your shoes. This will prevent the shoes from dirtying your clothes. click here
• Even if you're bringing your toiletries in your main suitcase I still suggest bringing travel size bottles. Bringing full size products may be a waste of space depending on how long you are travelling for.You will most likely use all the product in a travel size bottle during your holiday/trip meaning you can chuck it out/recycle, making more space in your suitcase to bring holiday purchases back ;)

• While travelling my wisdom teeth were coming through which was very painful. Having a first aid kit with all the essentials meant I had Bonjela and pain killers at my fingertips. 

• If you're a nail polish junky like I am then trying to decide what polish to take on holiday can be a bit tricky. It can also take up a lot of space in your cosmetic bag. Getting gel nail polish before you leave is a great alternative to carrying nail polish, base coat and top coat as it can last up to 4 weeks. This is what I use. So simply and easy to use. click here

• Using Sun protection lip balm is really important if you're heading somewhere hot. This is my preferred lip balm click here

• If you're travelling a long distance then plan out your sleeping pattern. This may prevent you from getting jet lag.

• No need to panic if you have no space for towels or bikini's in your suitcase. If you're heading for a sun holiday you're bound to pick up something very cheap when you arrive at your destination. 

• I use an eyemask for sleeping every night but using one while travelling is a life saver. There is nothing more annoying than trying to sleep on a long flight and the person next to you has their reading light on.

• If you're an anxious person or not too good at travelling/flying then I suggest Bach rescue remedy chewy sweets. They taste nice and very convenient to throw a packet into your handbag. click here

Living in London means for me I travel back home to Ireland a lot so if you have any tips that you find helpful feel free to leave them in the comments my amigos.

Making The Most Of The Sun

As people who live in the UK & Ireland will know, the weather is a bit unpredictable a lot of the time, 4 seasons in one day. This week has been super nice weather and although most days after work I'm too tired to do much, On Wednesday myself and my friend Debora decided to make the most of this lovely weather and  headed to Hyde Park for the day. Debora rented a Barclay's bike and I wore my Rollerblades. We had such a lovely day, relaxing and good vibes. Maybe this is the start of the summer weather! Here's to hoping :)

What do you like to do on sunny days? Let me know in the comments!
