Carry On Flight Essentials

Carry On Flight Essentials

Comment   

As everyone seems to be heading off to tropical islands and sandy beaches, including myself to Turkey tomorrow evening, I thought I would upload a post dedicated to my hand luggage. Here are my personal holy grail items to carry on board with me whilst on the plane.

My carry on essentials this summer will be stored in my new mint green rucksack, which I can say was an absolute bargain (eight freakin' pounds!!!) from Primark. Not only the rucksack being my favourite colour, it is also a perfect size for storing what I need, helping me to concise with what I require on the flight and will look fabulous with many an outfit when strolling down to the beach.

Books/magazines are a huge must for me on board and during a relaxing holiday. I take a book/magazine or two to pass time on lengthy flights and when chilling in the sun's generous 36 degree rays. Next, a favourite of all - especially for those who despise reading of any sort. Almost everyone I know cannot travel anywhere without taking headphones; listening to music passes time in a fun way. I couldn't forget these - SWEETS! Nothing passes time better than eating and eating and eating until your plane finally lands at your destination. I also like to carry a packet of mints/gum to keep my breath smelling great until I can brush my teeth again. 

The camera I will be taking snaps on this year is my pink digital polaroid, along with my iphone 5s - I tend to get snap happy when I'm soaring through the air and take 100s of photos before I've even arrived of the wonderful views from above. Many people, often older, would much prefer to kill time by taking a long nap on the plane - a good ol' eye mask helps a lot when the plane's on-board lights are on full beam. Penultimately, you musn't forget to shove your purse in before leaving. Imagine how much of a disaster it would be if you had no money to purchase some pointless junk memorabilia?! Finally, sunglasses break almost instantly in a suitcase so I would advise you to take them in your handbag/rucksack. 

Where are you going away this year? What do you NEED in your carry on?

Hello everyone,


Today I thought I would dedicate my post to a lovely little app that I recently downloaded. After seeing POLAGRAM advertised almost everywhere, I thought I better download it and give it a go...

On polagram, you can upload photos straight from your phone! How perfect is that? It really saved me the hassle of uploading photos from my phone to my laptop and printing them out via that way. You can purchase simple polaroid styled photos, like I did myself, or create a photobook, print your favourite photo onto a canvas, form your own poster, design a case, send a postcard or make a special someone a giftbox full of your favourite photos together. 

I am extremely impressed with the quality of these photos, despite my camera not being the best to photograph them. The finish is super glossy and all my photos are immaculate. Pricewise, they are very reasonable at 29p a print and each time you purchase, you get a code for yourself,and friend, for £5 off your next order. My referral code is : PG0FR1H7 - if any of you want to use that. 

Overall, I was thrilled to receive my 25 little prints and will be looking forward to ordering my next batch! I really want to make a scrapbook soon full of memories and photos and this app will be my saviour. 

Love 

P.S. I wasn't paid to write this post, I was just super impressed with the quality and turnout of the photos and the app itself :)
