Flight Outfit

So as mentioned in many a previous post I recently endure a few long haul flights. So, as well as making sure I had all my flight essentials I also had to make sure I was dressed appropriately. Often on flights you will see woman who look amazing and glamorous and better than I would on a night out but I do not understand how they can be comfortable on the flight!?
I am the complete opposite of this. I will usually go bare faced and in the comfiest/baggiest clothes I own- especially on such a long flight!



This was the outfit I went for- baggy sweater, leggings, vest top and trainers (I actually wore my running shoes as they were too big to pack!)
As well as having no make-up on I had all my hair up in a bun and out of the way. For me this is comfy and although it's not the most flattering I was too busy trying to sleep and not freak out over flying to try impress anyone.

Flight Essentials

As mentioned in previous posts I have recently relocated to Australia!! Although this was extremely exciting and there's so much I was looking forward to there was one thing which I was dreading...the flights!

My friend and I were spending a few days in Dubai so that split the flights up but we still ended up doing a 6 hour, 7 hour and a 9 hour flight. With so long spent in the air there was definitely some essentials which were required!



Facewipes- as I left at the end of the day I already had the day's make-up still on. Although I wasn't wearing as much make-up as I may usually do, as I knew I would be flying, I was still eager to quickly get it off on the flight so facewipes are a must! Even on other flights where I wasn't wearing any make-up they were good just to freshen my face up.

Lipbalm- due to the altitude and all the air conditioning that's going on my lips were extremely dry and constantly needing attention so lipbalm is a must!! I'd forgotten one on the first flight and I definately suffered thanks to it later. My lips were so sore and cracked!
Bottle of water- although most flights do offer regular drinks and you can always ask for one we found it helpful to have our own supply as we can take as much as we want when we want without having to bother anyone.
Concealer- to touch up the face and make it look more alive coming off the flight. I didn't use this as when we arrived it was very early in the morning and I couldn't care less what I looked like (out of 41.5 hours we'd only slept for 2.5hours) but if I was on a flight and meeting someone at the other end then it'd be a must for me!
Moisturiser- your skin will be screaming for this. Like the lips the skin will dry out at a faster rate due to the air circulating in the plane and the altitude so moisturise regularly to keep it in good condition.
Mascara- helps to make the face look more alive. Similar with the concealer- not something which I used but had I been meeting someone when coming off my flight I wouldv'e made a bit of an effort
Headphones- most flights supply these but I found them quite uncomfortable and prefer the in ear ones so used my own when I could.
Deoderant- self explanitery really. A MUST!
Toothbrush and toothpaste- if it's an over night flight then don't forget basic hygeine and keep your teeth happy with a wee clean. It may also help your body reconise it's time for sleep if you're someone who struggles to sleep on planes (like me!)

Hope that was in some way useful! If I've missed something then as always let me know either in the comments or on twitter!
That's me now a bit more settled in Australia so be prepared for more posts soon! If there's any requests then let me know.

Apologies!!

Hello there everyone!! Remember me?! Probably not and that is for sure my fault as I have not blogged in quite a while.

However, before you all start looking for the unsubscribe button please let me explain!

Recently my life had been a little bit crazy as I have been preparing for quite a journey- both a physical one and mental one. Myself and two of my friends have decided to move to Australia for a year!! Something which is extremely exciting/nerve wrecking for us so a lot of time has been spent working to have enough money for such a trip and also on planning! 

I am currently lying on a bed, in a hotel in Dubai with my very good friend Kirsty next to me. We'll be here for another 2 nights and then start the journey to Australia. I do plan to keep up with my blogs which I'm there but naturally may take some time to settle down before any new posts pop up.

Please stick with me and I'll try upload soon!!!

Thanks for reading
