Hey guys!
As ye are reading
this I’ll be on my summer holidays (“vacation”) in England, so the
posts for these 2 weeks have been pre-scheduled. I’m actually writing this the
night before I head off so I thought I would write a post about what I would
think of as some ‘holiday essentials’ . Obviously depending on where you’re
going, different things are going to be essential. The weather in England is similar
to Ireland but more sunny so I’m being optimistic and treating it as a sun
holiday. The second week we’re staying in Cornwall so I know I’ll be spending a
lot of time on the beach.
Books/magazines
I like to have plenty of reading material for my holidays. Normally at home I read a bit but have to admit I spend most of my free time on my laptop, the sad reality. However on holidays I don’t have my laptop and I don’t use my phone very much because there’s normally no wifi so I have a lot more time to read. I really enjoy reading and it’s a good way to chill out while I’m away.
Headphones
We’re getting the
ferry to England so we’ll have the car and also we’re staying in several
different places so I know we’ll be doing a good bit of travelling. I’m not a
very good traveller and I tend to feel sick. It’s gotten better as I’ve gotten
older but I still can’t read or even watch movies without feeling sick so I
always listen to music. I think I have weird shaped ears because earphones
never stay in so I love my Beats.
Bikinis
I’m going to be
spending a lot of time in the water the second week so obviously I need some
bikins. Both of these are from Penneys and I might buy another one over there
if I see anything nice!
Chargers
I always fear that I’ll
forget my chargers when I go away. I would never forget my phone/ipod/camera
but they’re actually useless without the chargers.
Camera
Normally I use my
phone for taking photos but I like to bring my camera on holidays. I’m not
really sure why I just think the pictures mean more taken on a camera rather
than quick snaps on my phone.
Lipbalm
Suncream
Another obvious one.
Even if it’s not very sunny at all I like to wear SPF on my face every day.
Dry shampoo
Just incase. I
probably won’t need it the second week because I’ll be showering every day I’m
in the sea, which will probably be every day I’m there but the first week we’ll
be visiting friends and family so I might not get a chance to wash my hair.
Waterbottle
I don’t mean very
expensive products but products you can use to treat yourself. Face masks, hair
masks, nice body moisturisers (no I don’t moisturise my body every day, I’m too
lazy so it is a “treat” for me!) There’s time on holidays to relax and
put on a face mask so you might as well!
There’s definitely
stuff I’ve left out, but they’re the main things I can think of right now. That’s some of what I’ll be bringing with me anyway!
