Travel Essentials

April always seems to be the time people start jetting off for their first holiday of the year.

I am going on my travels tomorrow and thought I would share some of the things I am taking with me. I am trying to travel light, but there are a lot of essentials I wouldn't be without.

I don't want to be carrying round a bulky bottle of perfume so I am taking this River Island London eau de toilette rollerball as my fragrance.

I am taking my Tangle Teezer as it is a compact hair brush and it has a lid so that dirt doesn't get caught in it.

I have a monopod selfie stick which is great for taking selfies or it can be used as a monopod which can help to make video footage smoother.

I am taking a lipstick case with a mirror in it and I usually put a few loose cotton buds inside as I don't want to take the whole box of cotton buds but I don't want to carry them loose in my make-up bag as they can pick up dust or dirt.

I always seem to get dry lips when I travel so I have this Avon pink jasmine lip balm to take with me.

I opt for a rollerball deodorant as most spray deodorants are more than 50ml which I believe is the largest amount of liquid you can take on a plane in your hand luggage.

I also have my Clinique wrinkle correcting eye cream which I am taking with me as I like to look after my skin while I am travelling.

I will also be getting some sun screen when I get there. I haven't got any that is under 50ml and I am not taking a case.
