Favourite Fives.. Random Right Now!




A List of my Favourite Five things right now. No particular theme or order:


1. Wheatgerm oil. Amazing for skin, externally applied, helps improve circulation in the skin, eczema, also is very good for dehydrated skin. Massage well into the skin and leave for a while (10mins-1/2 hour) and then rinse with warm water. Wheatgerm oil and this little routine is commonly used as part of a facial treatment. Makes your skin brighter and softer.


2. Kevin Hart. Just love the guy to pieces he is so funny, check him on YouTube: HartBeat Productions.


3. Navy suede. Not seen these before.. but recently saw some women's dark navy suede moccasins and I actually fell in love a little.


4. Costa. New found appreciation. Never used to go here before one opened up near my house, every time go in and order something new I'm always pleasantly surprised. You get the horrible kind of surprises at Starbucks.. hot chocolate is disgusting!! I used to be a Starbucks VET.!


5. Boyfriend jeans rolled up a la Katie Holmes et Jessica Alba. Works best if your tall, otherwise makes thighs look chunkier than they are, petite frames suit this look wearing straight cut jeans.


 Happy Weekend

Travel Nation! Summer Holiday Packing..

A few friends are off on holiday and I remembered all the times I've had that panic of putting everything into my hand luggage. The thought of not being able to go anywhere for 6-8hours, seems to scare us into a frenzy of trying to pack in everything we could ever want in Life!


I thought about five things that I think are the only things you really need. 


1. iPod!+Phone
2. Lip balm, chewing gum + hand cream..can also be used as a face cream if used sparingly -remember how dry your skin gets on the flight.
3. Pashmina.. can be worn as a scarf, used as a blanket, used a pillow aaand looks good  on your handbag when not in use. Phew!
4. A book I'm actually interested in -this isn't the time to start that Keats book 'you haven't gotten around to reading yet'-, or more realistically, a good quality magazine that you can dip in and out of in-between the inflight movies
5. Hair grips and hairbands for that messy hair after a night flight


One friend 's essentials -self confessed!- 'non-creative' list: 
1.Book
2.iPod
3.Phone
4.Notepad+Pen
-Makes for a very sociable flight ^.^ !!


Other things that may make your list: sickness pills, some people take a change of underwear/top, Gameboys, activity books, laptops..


Doing this exercise will make you think about you actually need and stop you having to lug around a handbag the max. weight limit!! Or you can let me do all the work and just use my list! :) 
If you have a more creative or interesting list post it! I wana read :)
Happy Flying, X&O's
