NOTD and New Bag

The Nails

Nail polish I'm wearing is glo Baby Glo! from Penny's that I have had for about a year now I really like the colour but cant seem to find it anymore so am on the look out for a similer colour. The second colour is Essence colour and go 67 make it golden. It took two coats to get this much gold glitter on my nails. I think maybe 3 would be good but I don't usualy do 3 coats of any nail polish. I like how the colours look together. I usualy do this but with pink and gold but think the greeny kind of colour looks a little nicer. This is done on my left hand with my right which is usualy a little neater then this but I hurt it a few months ago and is still a little unsteady. My right hand is done a lot better then this but I broke a nail so wouldn't take a photo of it as one is much shorther then the rest. 

The Bag

I love everything about this bag It has two of my favourite colours at the moment which is Gold and Mint green. I used to have a bag very like to this but a bit bigger and in cream. I loved that bag but unfortunately my sister borrowed it for a night out and it didn't exactly come home in one piece ( it came home in two). I bought this bag in Penny's for €5, not sure if I like the bag or the price tag better! It's not very big which is usually what I look for in a bag. My purse is quite big and wont fit in it, but that's ok because I always have too much junk in big bags and would like to change to a smaller bag for a little while. It would be nice if I could look in my bag and find what I was looking for with out have to empty the contents of my bag on the nearest table or even the floor, which is becoming a bit of a habit and kind of embarrassing in some situations. When ever I see someone else in a shop or on the street doing that I always think Oh God is that how I look!! Basically I am just trying to look a little less crazy these days (not sure how well that's going so far)

Getting Ready To Travel

My New Bag 

I love this bag and can't wait to use it. This has wheels and a handle to pull along or it has a zipped section on the back that contains two strapes to use it as a backpack. It also has loads of pockets, I love that about bags. I bought one just like this for my sister for Christmas knowing she would use it on our trip to Australia. I got her a beige and purple one with the same design as this one. she loved it and I liked it so much I got myself one. Kind of wanted to kick myself for not getting one at the same time as it was more expensive when I went to buy it. But I still love it and it will be very handy for going travelling for acouple of weeks in Australia.

Toothbrush ~ Boots

Make up remover wipes ~ Penny's

Lip balm ~ Marks and Spencers

Toothpaste ~ Boots

Mouthwash ~ Boots

Sudocrem ~ Not sure

Deodorant ~ Boots

Dry shampoo ~ Boots

I got the book ages ago but never got around to reading it which is strange because I usualy love her books. Anyway what a better excuse to finaly get around to reading a book then being stuck on a plain for about 22 hours. I'm not a very good flyer so it will keep me occupied. My organiser has all my flight, travel, accomadaiton and insurance details it also contains all my contact details just incase I was to lose anything or need to contact anybody. I like to be organised just incase. I love that travel pillow and am not going to lie but I did use it once or twice while watching tv. I actualy could fall asleep with it even though it looks awkward and uncomfortable. I cant go anywhere without make up remover wipes and the best ones that I have found for my skin is the ones from Pennys, sometimes cheaper is better. I think I got everything else in Boots except the lip balm, I got that in Marks and Spencers a little while ago.

My Suitcase Essentials 

Microfibre towel 

Bathroom bag

Hair towel

Marks and Spencers Magnolia deoderant 

Guliet satin Care saving gel

Oral B 3D white toothpaste

Sudocrem

Marks and Spencers Magnolia range is the nicest smell ever. I absolutly love the smell and have the perfume but have not got around to packing that yet. The oral b toothpaste actualy does whiten teeth I noticed a difference after a couple of weeks and now won't use anything else. Sudocrem goes everywhere with me, I find it great for acne and exzema both of which I suffer from. I find it great to calm irritated skin and help with breakouts. I have been using it since I was a baby and find it better then some of  the medicated creams that I have been given over the years for calming down irratated and inflamed skin.

Suncream

Soltan Family pack sun creams and aftersun ~ Boots

Contains aftersun 200ml

Kids Factor 50 200ml

Factor 30 200ml

Factor 15 200ml

When i was shopping for all my my holiday stuff I was having a look at the suncreams and as my skin can be very sentitive I am limited to the brands that I can use. Thankfully one of the brands I ban use is boots soltan which is great as this whole pack of suncreams only cost about €18 and included aftersun. I usualy use factor 50 and often find that the kids creams suit my sensitive skin better so didn't really bother me about it containg kids factor 50. The factor 30 is ideal for my sister who does not burn as easily as I do. She also sees the sun alot more then I do aswell. Not sure if I will have any use for the factor 15 but it all came togethor and was cheaper this way. I'm sure it will be used here at some point over the summer this year.
