What's in my carry-on bag?

I love packing for my trips. I am a huge organiser so I start preparing my cabin bag a few days before the flight. I've never been on a flight longer than 3 hours before, the longest I usually travel is between England and Estonia when I visit my family. As you all know by now, I am going on holiday to Australia for 3 weeks. We are travelling Manchester-Dubai-Perth-Sydney so there's going to be a lot of time in the air. So here's all of the stuff I've decided I can't travel without.
  • Neck Pillow - I want to be as comfy as possible and I will be extremely grumpy without a neck pillow. This baby blue memory foam pillow is from TKMaxx and it was actually a present for Tristan. We will be sharing! 
  • Comfy socks/slippers - My feet always get cold when I am on the plane. I want to feel cosy and relaxed - my Primark socks help with that!

 




  •  Glasses, contact lens case, eye drops - As I am wearing lenses and it is going to be a very long journey, I need my eyes to have a good rest. The climate in the air is very dry and my eyes are so sensitive, so while I'm flying I will be using a tiny bottle of eye drops. 
  • Notebook - I am very sentimental, so I want to make sure I am able to write down the details of my trip. I am a list maker and will possibly be using the notebook for my post ideas, it's also handy to have some paper in general! This cute notebook was a birthday present from my friend with lyrics from Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' quoted inside.
  • Pens, pencil case - I don't like pens to be loose in my bag so I am using this lovely Paperchase Whale Pencil Case to keep my bag organised. It is the perfect size for other longer 'tools' which might also get lost in my bag (Leighton Denny Crystal Nail File and Sally Hansen Nail Pen).




  • Wallet - I don't need to bring many cards with me to Australia so I am going to be taking this light brown wallet, as it is a bit more compact. This lovely pink and purple card holder is really good to bring on nights out/dinners.


  • Passport, Travel documents - Well, I won't be on the plane without them. Tristan's passports are here too :)



  • Beauty - Face tonic and cotton pads are something I would definitely not survive my flight without. I am probably going to be make up free for the whole journey. L'Oreal Skin Pefection toner and serum will help keep my skin soft and moisturised. I will also be taking Bakewell Soap Company Multi-Purpose Pocket Balm, which is perfect hydration for lips, hands, nails and body - it's a 4 in 1 which means I don't have to carry around moisturisers separately! 


 From the left: Loreal Skin Perfection Toner, Loreal Skin Perfection Serum, Sally Hansen Nail Pen, Nip+Fab Eye Elixir, Bettyhula Beauty Oil, Murine Contacts Refresh & Clean Eye Drops, Benefit the Porefessional, Origins Spot Remover, Pocket Balm and wipes.


  • Sunglasses - Obviously I won't be wearing them on the plane but after 24 hours of travelling it is good to keep my tired face hidden behind these sunnies!
  • Laptop - I don't think I will be using my laptop a lot during the flight but for safety reasons it is good to keep all of your electronics with you! 
  • Camera, lenses - My Canon camera is really light and small - perfect for these kind of trips! 
  • iPod, headphones - Everyone needs a little 'me and music' time so I will make sure I charge my iPod before leaving the house.



  • Phone - Well, how else I would be in contact with my friends/family/social media without my HTC! 

  • Nintendo 3DS - I love this little handheld and it will keep me entertained when I get really bored! 
  • Book - A Street Cat Named Bob: How One Man and His Cat Found Hope on the Streets - I've been meaning to read it for a quite a while so I am really excited to read about James and his cute cat Bob. 
  • Snack - It is always good to have a little snack with you. I am loving these Nākd bars - they are gluten free, super healthy (fruits and nuts smooshed together) and nutritious!
    •  


  • Toothpaste, toothbrush, Lichfields Mint Imperials - I will probably buy a toothbrush and toothpaste from the airport but I will definitely take mints with me as I don't like gum. These Lichfield mints will fit nicely in this little AlPacasso zippered purse.

Esimene trimester ehk esimesed kolm kuud \\ beebi number 2

Tere blogi, Jah, üllatus, üllatus, ma olen rase! Esimene trimester on läbi ja teen küsimused-vastused varjandis blogipostituse. Ausalt öeldes ei olnud mul just kõige kergem algus- jõetus, väsimus, iiveldamine ja oksendamine kestsid 6. nädalast kuni 13. nädalani. Ei tuleks vist eriti huvitav postitus, kui ma peaks kirjutama, kuidas ma kõik need nädalad voodis veetsin ja mitu korda päevas vetsupotti kallistasin, nii siis vastan pigem mõnedele esimese trimestriga seotud küsimustele.   Kuidas sa avastasid, et sa oled rase ja kuidas sa Tristanile ütlesid? Ühel reede hommikul ärkasin varem, et trenni teha. Jooksin jooksulindi peal umbes 30 minutit ja terve selle aja tundsin end imelikult. Umbes 5 minutit enne jooksmise lõppu tuli mul üles mega suur röhitsus ja natuke maomahla. See tunne oli nii tuttav! Tagasi tuppa tulles tegin veel Tristanile nalja, et olen vist rase. Terveks päevaks jäi see mõte mind kummitama ja ma ütlesin Tristanile, et peaks igaks juhuks rasedustesti tegema. Jä...

Minu lemmikud tooted - Austraalia eri

Tere blogi, vahelduseks kõigile nendele raseduse postitustele panin kokku väikse listi oma viimase aja lemmikutest toodetest. Olen eelistanud niinimetatud kodumaist, ehk siis kõik tooted on Austraalias tehtud-toodetud-valmistatud.   asap Revitalising Bodyscrub   Paar kuud tagasi otsisin endale uut kehakoorijat ja komistasin juhuslikult sellise brändi otsa nagu asap . Mulle meeldis just see, et nende tooted on looduslikud, vegan ja valmistatud siin Austraalias. Pudel on hea suurusega (200 ml) ja maksab 50 dollarit (umbes 30 eurot). See kehakoorija sisaldab ka minu lemmikut glükoolhapet, mis on tugev antioksüdant, põletikuvastase toimega, nahka niisutav ja stimuleerib kollageeni loomist. Kasutan suhteliselt kokkuhoidlikult - umbes vutimuna suurune kogus ja sellest piisab täiesti käia üle kohad, mis enim muret teevad. Olen kasutanud seda kehakoorijat kaks korda nädalas. Hõõrun õrnalt umbes paar minutit ja loputan siis duši all maha. Nahk on pärast mega pehme ja mina nägin mu...

Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide - Starting again

The last time I posted about my workout regime was in November last year when I started the Kayla Itsines BBG healthy eating plan and 12 week workout sessions. I think I got up to week 4 before I lost my motivation because of illness and Christmas. My friend Marianne and I started BBG again on the 5th of January with thousands of other girls and joined #thekaylamovement and #kaylasarmy to share our journey along this painful but exciting path.  You can read my first post about the BBG programme here as I am explaining a bit more on how I 'found' Kayla and how the training works.  I have done BBG for 5 weeks now (the first 2 weeks we did pre-training) and I'm feeling quite positive. I've not seen much progress myself - I still have my weak areas like tummy, bum and thighs. I do feel much stronger though! I'm doing all of the workouts properly, I have strength in my legs and arms - it is quite easy to do 10 push ups and continue with triceps and mountain clim...
