What's in our travel bag?

Hello everyone,

We have seen so many blogposts and youtube videos of this tag and we thought we might give it a go!

I (Alia) will be travelling soon, so I took the occasion to write this post in order to make my bag organised and to make sure I won't forget anything too!

So here we go, this is what's in my travel bag...

This is what would go inside my carry-on bag:

Ipad (or any tablet)- I will have to take two airplanes and will have to wait three hours in the airport while waiting the second, bringing an Ipad is a great way to not get bored, you could watch movies, check on your social media, or even take selfies with strangers! You choose ;)

Phone and earphones- Of course you will need your phone to call your parents and stuff, but make sure to bring your earphones to listen to music on the plane! Some plane journeys can get really boring.

Notebook and pen- You never know, you may get super bored and to distract yourself you could doodle a bit or write whatever comes to your mind!

Glasses- I don't need glasses to see, I only use them because my eyes get really tired and red easily (mostly when I stay in front of the computer for too long), so they're kind of essential.

Book- I am currently reading "Lo strano caso dell'apprendista libraia" ("The Bookstore" in English) by Deborah Meyler, reading is an amazing way to avoid getting bored on plains!

Wallet- yeah... pretty self-explanatory

Scarf- You never know you might get cold in the airplane or you might sit next to someone who likes to turn on super cold conditioned air on top of their head! In that case, you'll have a scarf to cover your neck and you're good to go.

Scrunchies- You might need to tie your hair up and scrunchies are a cute way to do it!

(Not pictured) Chargers- If your phone or Ipad die you won't need to panic!

(Again, not pictured) Survival kit- Nope, I'm not talkig about the medical one, just some bare necessities you may need to travel which I will list down below.

This is what I have put in my "survival kit" in a small beauty-bag:

Hair brush- I don't know about you, but my hair gets soo knotty and I always feel like I should brush it, so that's essential for me.

Wipes- These can be super useful for anything! No toilet roll in the bathroom? Use a wipe! Feeling like your hands are dirty? Use a wipe! They're amazing, I cannot live without them. I would have brought also a hand sanitiser but mine's too big and security surely wouldn't let me bring it in the plane.

Blistex- This... oh my god it's amazing! It is a chap stick which you can find in any pharmacy and it hydrates your lips soo much! Since in planes air is recylced and very dry, my lips get really dry and I need blistex to hydrate them.

Gum- I have two packs of gum, one's mint flavoured and one's fruit flavoured. I just like to carry them around (ok, it may sound gross) if you can't brush your teeth and you want fresh breath, just use one of the mint ones for the moment and when you get to the hotel, brush your teeth! (This of course is just for relatively short flights, if your flight's very long then you might wanna brush them)

Headache pills- These are just essential for me, I get really bad migraines and these pills help to make it go away.

Lip gloss- You might want to look presentable for the people picking you up at the airport in some way, so I just bring my lip gloss with me. Mine's "Beauty rush" from Victoria's Secret and it's called "Candy, Baby". It's a very pretty light pink colour with a little glitter in it (not too much, I'm not the greatest fan of glitter on the lips) and it tastes like vanilla and strawberry.

Tissues- You're gonna need these at some point, trust me.

Dove little bottles- I didn't really know how to call these, but they're small plastic containers which shouldn't get you in trouble for bringing liquids as they do not exceed the 100ml limit. In these I would bring something like moisturising cream since my skin gets really dry in the plane.
