Make up and cosmetics bag essentials...

Cosmetic tips: decanter all your favourite & essential items into small containers (these containers only cost about R3.00 - R6.00 each), you don't have to go without any. I even take my serums, masks, scrubs, etc. I ask for samples of my favourite perfume, take at least two, get sample toothpaste tubes and any small travel size of all your other favorites. Only take a compact combo with blusher & eye shadow, three brushes, base and a few earbuds and cotton wool. Plasters are always handy! 

Traveling in style & comfort...

I will be flying in my boots, jeans, grey vest, printed long sleeve T, scarf and have my puffed winter jacket as hand luggage. This is an easy, comfy & colourful outfit to fly in. 

Packing List for a three week holiday...

This is everything I packed for just over three weeks of holiday. I need clothing for temperatures that range from -5 to 32 degrees Celsius over this period. So layering is essential! 

We start off in New York City (USA), Toronto (Canada), Florida (USA) & Washington DC. What is making this easy is the fact that we will be staying with friends half way through this trip so I can wash and recycle all of these outfits.

3 x Pairs of Pants, 4 x fun vests, 3 x long sleeve T's, 4 x long sleeve knits, 4 x shirts, 1 x cardigan, 1 x denim jacket, 1 x winter puffed jacket, 2 x beanies, 6 x scarves, 3 x long sleeve vests, 9 x pairs knee high socks, underwear, 4 x summer dresses, 1 x bikini, 3 x pairs of shoes (including boots) & a silver chunky chain.

All of this fits into a small suitcase and weighs 11kg with my cosmetics. 

This is so TRUE!!!
