Long Road Trips Essentials.


Hello! So we're going on a about 10 or more hour road trip (if you'd like to know more about our trip it'll be in a small paragraph at the end) and instead of showing you boring normal stuff I'm taking in my suitcase as underwear and pyjamas, I thought I'd show you what I'm going to take in my Back Pack.



This is the bag I'll be taking, it's Kappa as you can see haha, and its more rectangular than normal back packs, also it has a lot of storage area and is simply great.
Now the idea of taking a back pack is that you don't have to hold about 5 different bags, just squeeze everything you need in one place. The other thing is that you don't really need to take this everywhere you go, just take what you need from it and use your handbag.

(Sorry about the bandage, it looks quite ugly but need it haha)
First things first... I'm a realist. Haha sorry just had to. First things first obviously I'm taking my baby Nikon D5200 take photos for upcoming blogs. Eeek exciting.


Next I'm taking a makeup bag except I have hardly squished any makeup in it haha! (I'm not much of makeup junkie, oops sorry). Now this is from The Lavenger Shop aka LVS and its called Travel Pack in my favourite colour red, although it looks a little raspberry pink. Absolutely love it, just put everything in it and it saves flipping your bag upside down to find something haha!


Right so the first things in the very few things I've put in my makeup bag is my Coconut Vanilla Signature scented Body Spray from Caramel Bath & Body which is connected? Connected to the Bath & Body shop but the Caramel flavours I guess. And as you can guess it smells a lot like Coconut, a lot of vanilla and a small bob of caramel, also a very very light scent of citrus. All in all a very sweet Autumn/Winter scent which is very exciting!
Then there's my Lady Speed Stick (Teen Spirit) Deodorant in Fantasy Queen Scent, it smells.. AMAZING. By far favourite deodorant smell, although I would recommend it's spray or roll-on cause they're probably more effective and a lot easier to use.
Last spray thingy I'm taking with me would be my Body Fantasies body spray in Exotic Musk Fantasy fragrance, it's a very strong body spray so I use it as a perfume to be completely honest. Its smell is like, well a very alcoholic musk fragrance, not much explanation sorry I'm rubbish at this oh god haha!



Now for the actual makeup! Got my all time favourite lipstick Rimmel London Kate Moss edition 107, it's colour isn't too dark like plums or too bold, perfect for winter and throughout all the different seasons actually so I'm basically in love with it.
Also my Maybelline Baby Lips '15 Cherry Flavor' lip balm, an absolute stunner. Literally the best, you can use it for colouring your lips this light pretty pinkish colour and also it softens or moisturizes your lips beautifully. It also has a very nice feel to it, most lip balms are just soggy and soft and quite rough? I guess so, they also finish real quick. This one feels like a baby's butt, not sure if that's a way to describe something but it's soft but firm and smooth, perfect.
Got my eyelash curler, hate mascara so this is a perfect substitution I feel.
My Maybelline Colossal Kajal eye liner.
And also that small looking tub that looks like a lip balm, nope think again haha. It's actually a fragrance in a form of a quite-harder-than-cream kind of material and I just dab it on when I'm in a complete rush, it's quite small aswell so its perfect to carry around with you. It smells very floral, and it was a handmade gift so I'm afraid you can't really find it anywhere.

The typical hair essentials all ladies/girls need to have with them. Bobby pins or hair grips, bobbles or hair tie (I'm not quite sure what americans call them haha), and hair elastics, also some little nice bows. Essentials. Full stop.

Now moving on from my makeup bag, shall we..



Alright now, to entertain myself on this 10 hour journey I've got myself the 'The Illustrated Works of Jane Austen' book which contains 3 books written by Jane Austen which include some what drawings she made. She's my absolute all time favourite author, just thought I'd note that haha.
My glasses, and wallet, essentials again haha.



Now this may seem weird but whatever. This is something I like to call a Memory Cup, its a coffee cup from Starbucks and I literally fill it up with stuff that I may like to remember when I grow up or so on. I put all sorts in it, papers, different sweet and chocolate wrappers, I mean you can see a spoon in the picture haha! I'm taking it to hopefully put some more stuff in it, maybe a reminder of our hotel or something.
Beside it is my LegoLand key ring, don't know why I'm taking it but I always keep it with me, well sort of anyway haha. On the other side of it is a picture of me and my whole family on a roller coaster there when I was about what 7? And we were screaming so we look pretty hideous that's why I chose not to show you, sorry haha!

Now I know I'm not showing you anything in my suitcase but I wanted to show you two things I absolutely LOVE!


My Golden Silky pyjama, it's from a shop called Max or City Max. Now I think you'll only find this shop if you're in the Middle East or from the Arab World so..
And then there's my black pair of shoes, now I've had about ten different pairs of similar looking shoes and I bet you have too, but this by far is the comfiest, best looking and easiest to wear out of them so I thought I'd let you know. They're from a Shop called Payless, again I'm not sure which countries it's in, but it's from a company/ the maker called City Sneaks.


THAT IS ALL. Thanks for reading my essentials, if you'd like to know about my trip it's in the next paragraph. If you'd like, please do follow our blog, we'll be blogging a lot soon and also please do comment what your essentials are and/or how long was your longest road trip, I'd be so interested to know! Last thing, if you'd like obviously then do share this around, we've only just started and it'd help a lot. Cherio!


Right so, my trip. I'll be on my way to a place in Saudi Arabia called Al Madina, now only muslims are aloud in it due to religious reasons or maybe terrorism, I'm not that sure tbh. (but I'm not there as a 'just' religious trip.) I'll be staying there 8 days, and it takes about 10 hour, we'll be stopping at about two other places just for a few hours so maybe even a 12 hour trip! Oh Gawd! So I'll be showing you the things I do there, and the inside of mosques and all sorts, so excited! This current blog is scheduled to be up by the time I'm back actually so by now I'm probably whizzing off writing my other blogs which should be out pretty soon now!

Alrighty.

Have fun, stay safe, until next time, Cherio!
