Packing list for hand luggage

Nearly set for my long weekend abroad!  How exciting!! I've nearly finished packing my main luggage but then I was met with the "suitcase or handbag" conundrum... so it was time to seriously plan what was going with me on the plane. 

I missed a few things out before I took the pics of my lists:

- travel pillow (I got mine from boots but there's some good ones cheaper in primark. Drat. But then I figured virgin Atlantic probably provides those anyway?)

- ear plugs (I get sinus problems which basically leave my whole face in pain n one Dr suggested ear plugs at start n end of flight  although a later dr discredited the idea completely)

- tissues

- there must be something else.. headphones!!! Travel guide! ! Flannel!!

Packing list for 4 night holiday in the sun!

That's all this is, the packing list. Whether or not it's abided by is yet to be seen but I'll keep you updated. Look out for posts on my holiday make up and skincare products, as well as in flight routine, all yet to be determined. 

This is list of the things I just know I'll need while on holiday and may or may not include things I'll take in my hsnd luggage. I'm so excited! 

Have I forgotten anything? Tell me please!!!

Diy filofax/personal planner cover

Ok after a long hiatus I finally got around to sewing the diff components of the cover I made templates for all the way back when.

And here's the result of the first attempt! I don't know how obvious it is but it went a bit wrong which is probably down to the aforementioned hiatus,  so my next attempt will be done in a shorter period, maybe a free Saturday.

Filofax / paperchase blog planner inserts

I'm always coming up with great blog post ideas. Trouble is, I don't keep track of them, I forget, so all you guys are lumbered with reading from here is this nonsense - sorry about that by the way. 

Well, the time had therefore come for me to improve things, and incorporate blog planning into my personal sized planner. I used the printables noted in a previous post as inspiration and came up with the below.

part 1: a list of the ideas, indicating when they're posted 

Reorganised filofax / paperchase personal planner

Part 2 (the last part) there is an update/review part coming your way!
Ok So everything is in groups, I need to think about the order I want them in, put them in that order, reshuffle if necessary and then bung them in the planner, if it'll let me.

I'll show you the order and how they ended up looking in my planner, cos, why not?

Filofax / Paperchase personal planner reorganisation

So... this bad boy's a bit messy huh? For my main daily organisation it's doing fine, but the rest of it's a mess. I think it's time for a good reshuffle?I've not finished but here's the beginning.

I started by taking EVERYTHING out and spreading it out... photo time...

First I sorted everything already in my planner and everything on standby into piles as follows, after removing my payslips which belonged elsewhere ...

Body scrub review - Soap and Glory: Sugar Crush Body Scrub part 2

Happy Saturday, visitors! Remember my Body scrub post last week? (you can read it here) I promised a follow up review on using it on dry skin before a shower, as in that post I had only tried it on wet skin. So here you go... starting with some dark dark pictures...

Ok so you may recall that on the whole I wasn't very impressed by this scrub when used in the shower, or on wet skin. On dry skin however it is excellent! A few thoughts, in the order they occurred to me:
