Summer is finally here & everyone is starting to get ready to fly off on holiday. There’s no doubt that holiday shopping is one of the most exciting things about prepping for holiday, but on the other hand, packing is definitely one of the most stressful parts. As I’m finally away on holiday, I find myself thinking about the stress that goes into packing & trying to remember all the little things that are actually quite important. So, as I’m sat here soaking up the sun I thought why not write a blog post up about summer ‘essentials’ to help some of you out?
On the way there & back:
Passport - now I put this first as it’s the one thing you NEED to be able to get on the plane, but it’s also the one thing that is also commonly forgotten or conveniently remembered as you’re leaving. So as you’re busy piecing together outfits, don’t forget to pop this in your hand luggage.
Book or magazine - if you’re on a flight for several hours with no internet then I would definitely suggest getting either a book or magazine for the plane ride there. I usually get these at the airport as it gives me something to do whilst I’m waiting for my gate to open for boarding.
Headphones - you might need these to drown out the sound of any screaming babies on the plane.

On holiday:
Bikinis &/or one piece - this is a fairly obvious one, but everyone needs something they feel comfortable in when they’re by the pool or at the beach. So get yourself some swimwear that you loveeeee!
Sunglasses - also an obvious one, but no one wants to be squinting because of the sun the whole holiday! (Primark & River Island have some really nice ones in right now!)
Argan oil - when you're in the heat your hair dries out much quicker than usual, so keeping it hydrated is a MUST whilst you're on holiday to avoid split ends. I use argan oil after I wash my hair anyway, but if you don't already use it I would definitely recommend it at least whilst on holiday / when you're exposed to excess amounts of heat.
Jewellery - accessories always add a little something to an outfit, but we usually just have them with us back home, not giving them a second thought until we need them...so it’s not really the first thing we think about taking on holiday with us.
Perfume - a few sprays of good perfume will last all day and will keep you smelling fresh & summery - so make sure to bring one that you love for your holiday!
Portable charger - there's nothing worse than having a dead phone battery when you're away in a foreign country - especially if you're alone! Avoid the worry if you're out and about all day & pack one to take in your handbag.
I hope this has helped some of you or reminded you of bits whilst packing! Enjoy your holidays & I'll see you back here soon, xoxo
