What's in my travel bag! (Plus travel tips!)
Hey guys! As you might know me and Bri are going to london tomorrow! (Yes, i know i left this post quite last minute as it is now half 9 on the night that we're going. High five for organisation!) I don't know if you guys are like me but i hate packing, with a passion! I always have this fear that i'll forget something which means i take everything but the kitchen sink in a little suitcase.
So, i'm hoping me posting this will help some of you out on what to take when travelling!
Enjoy!
Okay, first i love the miniature versions of beauty products, i'm aware that's odd. They're just so useful not just for travelling but for putting them in your handbag rather than having to carry around larger products! (I apologise for the bad quality photos, i quickly took them while packing this evening!)
Firstly, i'm quite a clean freak when travelling i always like to have hand wipes or some form of gel, so that's always essential for me. I'm not too picky with what types i get just as long as they smell nice and do the job! Also, i suggest after washing your hands that you use a moisturiser too.
Depending on how long you're going for little shampoos and conditioners are always useful! Since i'm only going for two nights these will be good for me. Any brand is good, unless you're picky with shampoo! If you're only going for one night, or you don't need to wash your hair as often then a dry shampoo will work just as well for you! On the line of hair products, i also have a mini heat protect for when styling my hair, but this isn't an essential.
For skin care i don't like taking my larger bottles so buying face wipes and a mini toner and moisturiser will suit for a few days. I've never been able to find a simple cleaner in miniature i can only ever manage to find their toner and moisturiser, if anyone knows where to get one please let me know!
Then you've got the essential things such as deodorants and shower gel. Shower gel might not be needed because in some hotels they will provide them, if you're in a really swanky place they'll give you shampoo and conditioner too!
My tips for travelling!
Plan things the night before! I know this seems like an obvious one, but there's nothing worse than rushing around before catching a flight or train etc. trying to sort everything out! 10/10 do not recommend.
Make a check list! I always do this and it's a lifesaver, write down everything you need to take and everything you need to do! Trust me, when you're stressing trying to figure out what to take a check list will be your god.
Keep any documents or any important information together, i suggest in a plastic folder of some sort. If you're travelling somewhere where you're carrying for example, passports, booking conformations etc. then it's never good just to have them floating in your purse, because you will lose them! Keep them together in a folder might be more to carry, but you won't lose anything important!
Don't bring anything you don't need! I know, i know you think that you're going to need your curlers or your hair dryer or five different types of foundation, (maybe not guys on this one...) but you really don't! Just bring your essentials, a small make-up bag, one hair styling product (hair dryers are usually provided in a hotel) and anything else you REALLY need when travelling. Trust me, when you need to carry everything with you, you'll regret bring your whole make up case.
Okay, well it's not half past ten and i think i should go to bed now! Hope you enjoyed my tips and finding out what i take with my to travel! Do you guys do the same thing? Or have you got any tips that you do when travelling? Let me know!
