What’s in my bag : Travel Edit (UPDATED)

As you will come to find out in the next couple of weeks, this post seems to be quite fitting for me but it may also help those of you out planning on getting away soon.

Today, from yesterday evenings last minute decision, I thought I would share with you what I normally take in my carry on. I did miss out some things like my camera because I took the pictures with it, all of my chargers etc.

But for the most part this is everything. I go for something quite deceptively large and I chose this black satchel bag from Zara which has a lot of room inside, comfortable strap but can also double as a backpack. Versatility is key for carry on bags I think

 

Inside I have…

My tablet and keyboard case: this allows me to be able to get some work done whilst on holiday. It probably should be a no work zone but if you’ve got exams coming up, best to be on the safe side

My portable charger: a must even if you aren’t going on holiday. It means you don’t need to hunt down a plug and can charge anywhere, anytime

Purse: I mean what would I put all of my £50 notes in?

The liquids bag: you can blame airport security for this one but I will have my antibacterial in this which btw, this is the best one I have ever used. I also have my carmex and balance me lip tint, inecto hand cream, roller ball perfume and hand wipes. My makeup for the day will also be added in before I go

Neurofen, tissues, pens and pencils. Need I explain?

A book: I sometimes like to read. Whether you are a kindle or book person, take something to keep you interested on the plane. Even if it is a magazine. I have also got some of my revision cards because…exams are a thing.

Passport because if you don’t have it, I’m pretty sure they won’t let you leave the country

Some oil blotting sheets which I need because my face is just literally oil city

A mirror in case you have an on flight beauty regime you like to dabble in. whatever floats your boat.

Sunglasses for landing. When the sun beams down on you from another country, you will for sure want to look stylish. Or just to cover up tired eyes.

Ear plugs and mints in case that helps make take off easier for you. I know my ears like to pop so these are a necessity for me

Money in your chosen currency

Your phone and I can’t believe I forgot this but your headphones. Block out everyone if you must. I love doing that on long journeys.

 Unless you thing I have forgotten something I think that is everything my shoulder coukd manage to carry on board. I hope you found this helpful and tell me below somewhere you are going/would like to go.

Have a great rest of your week.

This week I : Holiday Edition | Holy Chic

It’s time for week 2 of my holiday run down. If you missed week one, you can click here to check it out some there is a sense of continuity.

Let’s begin!

Some pics from a trip I went on called outback safari and I got to see the country and learnt more about life there really

 

Literally the best coffee in the world. The secret, cinnamon so you know I bought some and ice coffee here I come. I really recommend it to take away the harsh after taste I find coffee has

 

 

Paradise! You may recognise this picture if you read my update post but this is the beach called macaw or macow? I have no idea how to spell it but it is so clear and so blue and so much clean white sand. It literally is paradise. And as these people thought too, perfect place for a wedding

 

Guys, Michael Jackson isn’t dead J he performed as an entertainment night. Genius! Had the whole world fooled. He’s just hiding out in the Dominican republic people!

 

Went on another excursion and saw something called the three eyes where it is pools of water in a cave. All natural and pretty cool if you ask me

 

More sightseeing. I went into the capital and made a stop in the church which is very much like the basilica if you have ever been J

 

On the last day it was miserable and rainy but kind of a nice way to end a holiday filled with 2 weeks of sunshine

 

Another stamp. Like seriously, I get too happy about these

And there you have it, my two week holiday wrapped up. Again if you missed week one, you can check it out here, but other than that thank you for reading J

This Week I : Holiday Edition | Holy Chic

Helloooooooooo .... J

The holiday themed blog posts have now officially begun and I hope you like them. Today I am going to begin with week one of what I did. If you didn’t know,  I went to the Dominican republic for 2 weeks on my annual family holiday and I thought this year, I will take you along with me J

 

Time to go. All packed up with my hand luggage and sporting one of my outfits from my .... post

 

Plane food! This is never good. But the one on the way home was amazing! Weird huh?

 

I made it! And look there is a stamp. It’s so difficult to get a stamp these days and I’m chuffed I have one now. Sometimes, it’s the little things people

 

The breakfast in this hotel was to die for. And with so much too choose from, food comas every day. The French toast there was just the best and very on point!

 

Pool fun! I didn’t go in this day but believe me every other day I was!

 

The cleaners are adorable. Every day they have done something new and pretty to your room. I think I need to hire me some of them as maids

 

The bed. Only me in it. Bliss.

 

Kindle time!

 

The reason to be in the pool all the time, the bar is in it. Not near it, in it! How friggin cool

 

The only day I here put makeup on! You literally couldn’t. It was just way too hot

And that is a wrap on week one of my trip. Not much text today because I wanted my awful photography to do most of the talking.

I hope you enjoyed and I will see you soon with a new post
