Ahhh Jet Lag! That pesky little thing that pops up just when you least want it! There is nothing worse that stepping off a flight and feeling like you have been hit by a bus! Here I wanted to share with you my top tips for avoiding it! I swear by these and managed to avoid the dreaded jet lag this time!

• Drink Drink Drink - Make sure that you keep yourself hydrated. I brought myself 2 large bottles of water for the plane coming back and made a conscious effort to make sure that I drank it all 

• Adjust your internal clock - It can be hard when the sun is still shining outside to go to sleep but thats what you need to try and do. If you should be asleep in your destination do it. Virgin supply you with ear plugs and eye masks to help with this. We took off from Orlando at 8pm there time which was 1am UK time. I tried my best to get some sleep as early as I could in the flight make sure my body was prepared 

• Avoid Caffeine and Alcohol - Its hard but you really need to give this a try. Caffeine and Alcohol only make you more awake and mess with your internal system. Definitely better to go for water instead. you will thank yourself in the long run! 

• Try and Book a night flight - particularly if you are coming back from the US this one is a definite recommendation. You can sleep overnight on the plane and feel as fresh as a daisy when you land. 

• Stretch - Nothing makes you feel more crappy than not moving for hours on end. whether its actually getting out of your seat and going for a walk or just stretching your arms and lets where you are, you will defiantly feel better if your muscles have a bit of stretch in them. 

I'm sure everyone has there own little tips, these are just tried and tested ones! I've seen things on Pinterest about limiting types of food you eat before you travel etc but I've not ever tried that. Remember Jet Lag is often worse when you travel east because of the time you are losing so it is worth taking that into account.

So the rules in the UK that you can not take anything onto  a plane that is over 100ml and nowadays they make you put them in a clear bag, 20x20 in size.

I came across the bag I used on a recommendation from one of the Youtube Channels. I have one of the ones from muji (I can't find the exact ones which used to be 19.5 x 19.5 but its seems to have shrunk - here).
The set I brought is from boots and comes in a set of 3 - here - the smallest one is perfect for taking in  your hand luggage.


When I actually pulled it out of the pack when I got it home, I saw shocked as I thought it looked really small. However you will be surprised how much this little beauty holds.


I literally managed to jam pack as much as I could in here. Luckily I have a bit of a thing about mini products and have a basket in my spare room where I like to keep bits so when I am travelling I can just pick stuff out and not be faffing.

Hello my lovelies!!!

I hope that you are all well! Ive landed back down to earth with a massive bump after a lovely 2 weeks in Florida. I actually text Adam yesterday and asked if it had been a dream!

So I thought I would spam you with photos on this blog post. I had all the best intentions of sharing lots of posts with you while I was away but that just went out of the window! In fact I didn't pick my laptop up once while I was away (the one blog post I did manage I did from my phone).

So here is a rather large collection of photos! Enjoy and I will be back with another post on Friday! Its gonna be a good one - if you want a sneak peak - head over to my YouTube Chanel where I have uploaded a video today! It may be a cheeky little haul (or not so little).

Ahhh Magic Kingdom! So aptly named! 

Ok so lets just ignore the fact I have totally gone out of sync of the blog schedule I wanted to keep to and embrace a new post! I promise when I get back from holiday its gonna get more organised and frequent around here!!!

So lets be honest - any beauty blogger or beauty luster heading state side has a wish list - heck you would be crazy if you didn't. And i have totally budgeted for a little bit of state side splurging when I was sorting my spending money.. so heres a few things I am wants to pick up.

Ok so before we talk about state side I thought I would just sneak a little airport duty free want in - because ya know, you have to indulge there a little. Last time I went to Orlando I picked up a paint pot from Mac in Bare Study. Its probably the best damn thing I have purchased in a while because it holds my make up in place all day.

And there you have it! I am sure I will come back with much much more but you gotta have a starting point right! If you have any recommendations, let me know!!!
