Carry On Basics
I try to keep my carry on to a minimum.
If you are like me and lay awake at night making a mental list of all the things you need for your trip - you will love this checklist!
Travel Packing Checklist
Most bottles taste like aluminium regret or whatever you left in there last week. Purest is different it's a glass water bottle so your water tastes like water. Not a gym locker, not yesterday's tea. Just crisp clean water.
Purist Glass Water Bottle
This book sums up my childhood. It’s ridiculous, satirical, and comforting all at once – not to mention hilarious! Plus, you’ll finally get to understand all those hip references to taking towels on holiday, and the number forty-two, and that constan...

I am a side sleeper and this mask stays put even if I toss and turn at night. It doesn't leave a mark on my face nor does it give me a line in my hair in the morning. I don't find it absorbs my night creams either. It's perfect for travelling too.

I tend to take a small wallet and a leather card case with me. Just in case I get robbed or leave a bag behind. I have at least one back up card and extra cash. Also the Card Case is super handy to keep the hotel room key.
Even though I use my phone to pay for most things - when I travel I store my credit cards, hotel key cards and a little local cash in this cute case. It's a cute gift too!

Hygiene
I wear minimal make up when I am travelling. I buy small containers to put my facewash, body wash, shampoo and conditioner and fill them up at home. You pay a fortune if you buy the travel minis from the supermarket. Trust me!
Compact but complete – includes everything for minor cuts, headaches, and blisters.
