Things I'm Loving.

Saturday, September 19, 2015

This isn't going to be the typical "Weekly Loves" but I thought I'd start the series off with some things I've been using a lot recently: travel essentials!! I've been doing quite a bit travelling, which has lead to me grabbing my essentials as I head off on my adventures. This week, I drove from Hobart back up to Brisbane for a few reasons (my post on Monday will explain what's going on in the life of Emma). So that meant three days of full on driving!!! Along with one flight down to Hobart and a 12 boat ride from Devonport to Melbourne because Tasmanka is surrounded by water. Anyway, so here are a few of my favourites things (I hope you sung that in the right tune): 


1. iPod and AUX cord: alongside a charger obviously. But my iPod was stocked with songs from the 80s-now and dozens of audiobooks to choose from to save me from about 27 hours of driving. 
2. Lip balm: my lips get ridiculously chapped so I've become obsessed with the "Blistex: Medicated Relief" lip balm. It doesn't smell or taste too great but it does the job! 
3. Moisturiser: I'm the least glamorous traveller. I took barely any makeup on my road trip and didn't end up wearing any. Instead, each day I did a deep moisturise of my face with the Khiel's under eye and face moisturisers. Highly recommend!!!
4. Snacks: anything that you can eat without spilling everywhere is pretty good. Things like fruit, crackers, sandwiches (yup, I'm that guy who pre-prepared sandwiches for my lunch everyday). 
5. Comfortable clothing: this not only means yoga pants and sandals for the car journey but the most comfortable and soft pyjamas I own for when I finished a day of driving and wanted to snuggle into bed. 
6. Motion sickness tablets: I get horrible motion sickness, like the worst possible motion sickness a person could get. And it sucks!! So before boarding the Spirit of Tasmania boat I took a dose of Kwells. Because my motion sickness is so horrible and the trip takes 12-13 hours, I then took another two tablets every four hours. 

Hope you enjoy your weekend!
