Your Make up vs Humidity

I hate the feeling of my make up melting off, you spend half an hour each morning making your make up banging, for it to melt off on the hot train to work in the morning. Not ideal. Now, I am definitely not complaining about this weather, as it's amazing. But it does absolutely nothing for your make up, or hair for that matter. Summer is always the time I need to put extra effort in for my make up, I don't want it to be a slip in slide from 1pm. Cause my office is hottttttt at the moment, so by 2pm I feel shiny and gross.

So in order to keep my make up on, I always make sure I prime, bake and set. Without these, no matter how much powder I put on, my make up will slide off. Even when I finish the sweatiest gym session ever, my make up is still pretty much in place! (I go straight from work, hence the make up). So I can even go to Nandos with the girls after the gym, though my hair is pretty questionable.

How to organise your wardrobe from scratch

I don't know about anyone else, but can you just not find anything in your wardrobe anymore? It's broad sunshine outside, and here I am with an overflowing wardrobe and still nothing to wear? I'm nearly always have to re-iron my clothes because my wardrobe is so packed? Or just hanging them in front of the shower while I get ready, and hope for the best! I love the idea of having a capsule wardrobe, but in the same instance... how do you even choose what to keep and what not to keep?! I can't tell you how many clothing I've forgotten I've put away to Charity and then get stuck what to wear, so how do you only have 10 sets of outfits in a capsule?! The idea is impossible for me!

I've decided that since I don't plan to throw any of my items away for a capsule wardrobe, I instead need to organise mine instead. Organised chaos for a wardrobe isn't cutting it, I barely know what I own anymore?! Instead I need to organise it, so I know what to wear together.. so here is my tips to organise your clothes!

Coping with long haul flights

It can't be just me who absolutely hates long haul flights? I struggled on the 8 hours to New York, never mind the 17 hours it took to get to Bali. So to say I was dreading it is probably an understatement. I've never had to properly prepare for a long haul flight before, so I was really unsure what I needed. But I did know I wanted to be the comfiest humanly possible and to not have to worry about anything.

It was my first time flying with Malaysian Airlines, so as I haven't heard much about them I wasn't really sure what they would be like. For our Bali leg, we had a 14 hour flight to Kuala Lumpur from Heathrow, then another 3 hour flight to Bali. So we did have a little break, but believe me, that hour flew over after getting from one side of the airport to the next (and getting lost).
