....the packing has begun...... I can't believe this is real life!! 4 days to go and whilst packing away, I realised, I hate my sunglasses. Shock horror. They're so boring, unoriginal and uncool, and it just put me in a bad mood (because it is the little things that get to us, after all). I decided to remedy the situation today, with a last minute shopping trip to get me some new sunnies and my last minute travelling essentials!
Firstly, I picked up these really nifty little lip butters from the body shop! I thought they would be perfect for the flight, and I mean who doesn't hate chapped lips at 35'000 feet! The sad reality of it is, that I actually have no life and find pleasure in making my lips smell of coconut. It's bizarre. They were on offer 2 for £5.60 at the body shop, like I said. There's tons of different scents, it would be handy if they actually wrote on the packaging what flavour they are. I got coconut and the other one, I'm not really sure what it is, some sort of nut I think!
As I will be living out of a backpack, due to travelling around a lot, I got some mini toiletries! They always look so cute in miniature version and I always want to buy them just on a normal day but it actually made sense on this trip. Space is limited! I got standard stuff like deodorants, but I also got some st ives scrub which I thought was pretty cool! 3 for £5 at trusty Tesco's. I also got my old faithful suncream. It is just THE best and always leaves me looking lovely and brown! Its Hawaiian Tropic, bloody expensive stuff, at £15 a bottle BUT it makes me smell incred and ensures that I will come back bronzed. I can't believe I forgot suncream until today. I need to get switched on! (also dont panic I have factor 30 for when I'm in Ayers Rock).
Finally, and lastly, its the sunglasses. Ta-dah! These are my new ones. They are Marc Jacobs and they were £50, down from over £100. They are a little odd to look at, and they certainly are different. At first glance they look a bit like ski glasses. But you know what, they are cool, and they go well with my hair cut, and even if I say so myself, I look nice in them. And if I dont get on with them, then I can always stick them on ebay!
Boom! So there we go. Last minute travelling buys DUNZO. I hope you enjoyed reading through all that, maybe its even given you some inspiration! This will probably be the last post I do now before Oz, so it's over and out for now. (hopefully) I will be able to blog whilst I'm over there, I would love too but it just depends on circumanstance. I know I said I was going to do a post about my activities while Im out there, but I decided against that mainly because I wrote it all out and it was really dull, and it actually was a bit all over the place, because not everything is planned to the last detail and it will be more fun to tell you about it afterwards.
xxxx Enjoy your weekend xxxx
