My Travel Essentials | Collab with Holly!

-

Hey Guys x

Today’s post is a collab with Holly, aka, ‘Just anotherBritish girl’. Definitely go and check out her post because her whole blog is amazing and I’m really glad that she contacted me to collab with her.
.
So, I’m going to talk about my travel essentials.

Whether you’re going on a road trip, on a plane, or a long train journey, there are a few things that you need to take to make the journey just that little bit more comfortable!

Make-up bag 

With the make-up essentials that everyone needs! For me, I would have concealer, blush, mascara, eyeliner and powder, everything that you could need for a little touch-up when you’ve been travelling for a long time.

An ipod/phone and headphones 
Mobile, Phone, Samsung, Music, Technology

AKA anything that can play music and headphones. I love to listen to music if I’m ever going on a long journey. I need it! So make a playlist of your favourite songs and block out the world with your headphones.


Face wipes and other toiletries 
Gift, Present, Bath, Set, Shower, Gel, Wellness

If you’re going on an extremely long, or overnight trip. Just like the make-up, you’ll need to touch everything up, and face-wipes are a great way to have a quick freshen up! 

Snacks
Popcorn, Snack, Salty, Food, Eat, Tasty, White, Corn

For me, this is a definite essential! No matter how long the journey is, I will always want something to eat halfway through and I'll be really annoyed if I forget to pack anything, even something small!

A comfortable change of clothes

Last but not least, a comfortable change of clothes! Maybe a nice warm jumper or something that you can change into either halfway through the journey, or when you reach your destination and you just want to get out of your travelling clothes!

Thank you for reading.

Comment below some of your travel essentials!

Keep Smiling - Lou xx

    Awesome! Glad you did this, because I was thinking these too. Toiletries are the best by far, especially an addition to the make up bag. I find it useful, even though I can't wear make up (allergic). So, awesome post. Take care always, plus don't forget the chargers. They're understanding our pain when battery life runs out (long travel/days travels). Take care :)

Venom: The Last Dance | Film Review

While on the run, Eddie Brock and Venom (Tom Hardy) are pursued by a dangerous military organisation. But when aliens from Venom's home world come to Earth, the pair have to make a devastating decision that will change their lives forever. I watched the first Venom movie when it came out years ago, didn't really like it that much, and subsequently didn't watch the second. But totally randomly last week I decided to re-watch the first movie, and ended up liking it enough to also watch the second. And as soon as I finished that, I went to the cinema to see this new one. I really liked this film - it was so much better than I thought it was going to be! My favourite thing about this franchise is the relationship between Eddie and Venom, and for me this film was the best version of the characters together. Because, while the comedic moments between the pair are still there, there's a lot more heart in this story than there has been previously, and this is especially evident

The Great Dictator | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next up for the bucket list was a film that I hadn't heard of. I'm familiar with Charlie Chaplin, but moreso for his silent films than for anything else, so I didn't really have any idea what this film would be about. And once I did look up the premise, it wasn't one that I was particularly excited to see. I knew that it probably wouldn't be one of my favourites, so it wasn't a surprise that I didn't love it. For a start, as a fan of some of Chaplin's other movies, this movie felt very different, which caught me a bit off guard I appreciated the satire, but it might just be that it isn't as funny for a modern audience, or maybe that it's just not my kind of humour, but a lot of it didn't work for me. It also felt way longer than it needed to be. The runtime itself wasn't a problem as it's just over 2 hours, but a lot of the scenes felt like they could have been shorter. The themes of the film were very ambitious for when it was made.

Seven Samurai | 100 Movies Bucket List

  Next up for the bucket list was another movie I'd never heard of. The premise was an interesting one, but a 2.5 hour samurai movie wasn't something that I was itching to see.  Nevertheless once I started watching it I became really engrossed in the story and characters. For a start, the acting was great. Nothing about the film felt inauthentic, the characters felt like real people and when you're watching it, you're instantly rooting for them. This is also down to the writing and direction. Every aspect of the way the film is made has been done really well. While the film wasn't one of my favourites, there's no doubt about the way it has shaped cinema. It's regarded as one of the most 'remade, reworked, referenced' films in cinema, and the basic premise shows how true that is. I feel like I've seen a good few films based loosely on this premise and it always works because it's a classic underdog story. If you've never heard of this movi

Brokeback Mountain | 100 Movies Bucket List

  Next up was one of my most highly anticipated re-watches. I probably watch this film once a year - I love it too much not to watch it, but it's sad enough that I don't need to watch it more than that. I don't remember the first time I saw the film, but I remember the effect it has always had on me. The movie is so powerful, it has so much to say, with messages that could still be applied to the world today. I can't praise either the filmmaking or the performances highly enough. You can tell that the film was made with passion and respect, that everyone involved put everything they had into telling this story in the right way. And that includes the actors. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal were phenomenal in these roles, their chemistry was amazing and I can't imagine anyone else playing these iconic characters. This film is also one of those rare cases where a movie is better than the book it's based on. The movie is based on a short story, and the story is a g

Her | 100 Movies Bucket List

This one was a re-watch that I was really looking forward to seeing again. I first saw it around the time Joker came out and I remember really liking it, so it was one that I saved until later in the bucket list so I could have something to look forward to. But weirdly, my experience of it was completely different on this re-watch. The things about the main character that I found endearing originally put me off this time around. I didn't really like the character at all and I couldn't connect with him. I also didn't find it as profound as I remember finding it the first time. The love story didn't feel as innocent or endearing and I never felt truly invested. I don't know if it's because of how AI-heavy the world is right now, but it just felt really weird. I do like the concept, but I think the characters are where it fell down a bit for me. And that's not to say I hated the film this time. I still think it's a good film that's well-made, it just wa
