MY TRAVEL ESSENTIALS

At the moment, I have been travelling quite a bit between my parent's house, London and my University and I have realised that I always take the same items with me no matter what. Also, I am going away in the Summer on a couple of holidays with my friends and family and I knew that I would probably be taking the same essentials with me when I go on holiday but I will do a blog post on what I take in my carry on nearer the time. These essentials are really what I have in my handbag all the time, especially when I'm on the train or if I'm in the car.

THE TRAVEL TAG

I love to travel and I have been very fortunate to have visited some amazing countries and gotten to experience other people's culture, food and environment. I really wanted to write a blog post on where I have travelled to but I thought instead of just writing about my holidays, which would go on forever, I would try and find a TAG that I could answer. I found this TAG on a blog called fashionarttravel.com and it is actually run by a good friend of mine. So I thought I would answer the questions on this blog to make it a bit more interesting ...

THE BODY SHOP SHOWER GEL IS SIMPLY THE BEST ...

One of my favourite scents for any skincare or beauty items is grapefruit. It is one of my favourite scents but I have found with some shower gels that the smell does not come through as strong as I would like and it does not last very long. So when I saw The Body Shop did a collection of shower and skincare products in the scent of Grapefruit I knew I had to buy it. This has got to be one of the best shower gels I have ever used and I have only used this one for the last year and I have not gotten bored with the scent.

I have probably purchased over 10 of these bottles in the last 10 months so they last roughly for a month. Obviously if you have a lot of shower gels and you alternate then this will last even longer. I have found that you don't have to put too much of the shower gel on which makes it last even longer. What I love the most is that the scent lingers on my skin for a good few hours and sometimes I have been able to smell it when I have gone to bed. Sometimes, shower gels can have floral scents in them which is something that I am not keen on personally, whereas this definitely has a citrus and sharp scent to it and it actually smells like grapefruit which I love.
