Travel


Come fly with me... Flying is something I'm rubbish at, I never seem to know what to pack or what important things I need to take with me.  I have travelled a lot to some beautiful countries like Egypt and Turkey and I have come across some tips for travellers that might be useful to all the explores out there.

I pack WAY too much.  When I say too much I don't mean like one or two things, I go all out and pretty much take my whole wardrobe with me.  I've come to realise that half the stuff I take I don't wear or use.  When it comes to packing I am very last minute (when I probably should be organised and prepared) Lets get on to Tip No 1...

# No 1

When packing try and think ahead and pack at least a week before you travel.  This will mean you have more time to pack and probably won't forget anything.  I ALWAYS forget something.  Packing ahead of time means you don't have to rush around and worry about having what you need.  I'm that typical late packer who will always need a shirt or skirt that's in the wash!  Thinking ahead will help when you need certain clothes that you want to take, no last minute quick washes and creased shirts.



Sometimes I panic on the day.  Making a checklist of what you need to take is probably the most useful tip I can give you.  So how to make a great kick ass checklist, Tip No 2...

# No 2

Check lists are pretty easy to create but there not something to be rushed.  Making a goo checklist is vital when traveling.  It helps you plan what you need to take with you and makes sure you don't forget anything, getting to the airport without your Passport would be a DISASTER.  To create a kick ass checklist make sure you write down everything you need and use it.  Things like your passport, travel documents and boarding passes and holiday insurances are pretty important so make sure there on the list.  Remember to always have another form of ID just they know who you are.  Tick of what you have collected together and put them in your bag as soon as you do.  No forgetting things on your next flight.  

Beauty products and make up are essentials for all girls.  So having a make up case full of the products you LOVE is probably one of the most important things for a girl besides have the correct travel documentation of course!  Tip 3..

# No 3

Take a beauty case full of mini sized products perfect for travelling.  I did a whole post on travel sized make up products - You can read it here http://www.celebricious.com/2016/10/best-makeup-kits/ I find that Benefits and MAC have some great make up kits but I am sure there are many high street beauty brands that are just as good.  Want me to do a post on this?  Let me know in the comments below.



If your like me then you'll understand this next tip and hopefully find it useful.  Calling all fashionistas!! Tip 4....

# No 4

Do you find yourself running out of space in your suitcase?  Do you feel the need to purchase a new suitcase?  This ones for all those who answered YES, just like me.  I know that I over pack and I'm terrible for it but you just gotta have all the cute dresses right?  Instead of ramming your case full and dreading check in try and pack carefully and lightly.  The best thing to do is check where you are going first, is it a hot country or a cold country?  Once you've established what the weathers like, it's time to pack.  Pack what you KNOW you will wear and not what you THINK you will wear.  pack one pair of sandal that are universal, a pair you can wear with almost anything like black or brown.  Take one pair of party shoes and one pair of casual trainers.  NOW for the greatest help of all,  roll your clothes up in to a roll like shape.  Example:  lay a pair of jeans/skirt/shorts on the floor and put a matching t-shirt with it, then pop any accessories that go on top.  Roll it all up and BOOM.  Do this with all your outfits and there will be lots of space for the rest of your things. 


And finally..... a more serious tip... Tip No 5 coming at you now.

# No 5

Know what you can and cannot take.  I learnt to research into what you can take into a country when planning one of my next trips to Australia.  Some countries can be very strict and there will be a lot of things that you cannot take.  Make sure to look up what you are allowed to avoid any embarrassing problems at Customs!!

So there we have it.  5 tips on traveling that we all should know.  Remember that traveling doesn't need to be stressful and it shouldn't be.  Once all the boring adult stuff is out of the way your ready to have a fun packed a fun packed adventurous holiday in the sun relaxing by the beach (looking at cute guys).  Happy travels...
