Packing for Trips Away

Next week my boyfriend Scott and I are going to the Gold Coast for a week over Easter, We are so excited because while we are down there his best friend is getting married and we are attending the wedding!! Cannot wait to dress up and try some bold makeup...

I was thinking the other day that I would like to write a packing list ( I have a thing for lists) just in case anyone else needs help figuring out what to take and what they should leave behind.

There are always 2 types of packers... there are those who only pack the minimum of what they will need and then there are the other packers. I am definitely an over packer but I don't go too crazy!
I always think that I may be in a situation where our plans change and I hate being unprepared.

Here is my list for short trips or beach vacation (since I am going to the beach)

• sunscreen 
• lip balm  
• hat (wide brimmed or cap)
• sunglasses
• 3 pairs of bikinis or swimsuit
• 1 pair of flip flops
• 1 pair of sandals
• 1 pair of heels
• 3 sundresses to throw on over bikinis
• 5 tank tops or tees in neutral shades
• 2 skirts 
• 2 shorts
• 3 evening dresses (I will also be packing my dress for the wedding)
• jewelry
• clutch for evenings 
• undergarments 
• makeup and heat styling tools

I hope this is handy for you and helps you pack for your next little trip away!

Love, Rhiannon 

February Favourites 2016

It’s that time of the month again (plus I am late) where I tell you all the things that I have loved during the past month! Let’s get into it...

I will be honest I haven’t really tried many things that are new but here are the few things I have.

Fashion:

Just one item this month and it is these Aztec printed shorts. I bought them online at Princess Polly and they are amazing. I am hoping to wear these to Groovin’ the Moo this year but have loved them already.

Beauty:

This gorgeous Essie nail polish in the colour Chinchilly has been my go to nail colour this month. It is neutral colour that will go with everything

The Tanya Burr Hollywood eye palette has been my go to eyeshadow palette towards the end of February. The goldy neutral tones are so simple but beautiful.

Book:

Zoe Sugg’s Girl Online: on Tour has been the book I loved last month. This is the sequel to her first book Girl Online and I was so captivated by this story. It’s a beautiful novel that is filled with life lessons about doing what makes you happy and the romance is so true and real that it feels like you are the main protagonist Penny. Read it...you won’t regret it!

TV Show:

Shadowhunters is a series on Netflix which is an adaptation of Cassandra Clare’s book series The Immortal Instruments’. It follows a young girl by the name of Clary Fray who gets sucked into a life of demons, vampires and werewolves. I won’t say anymore because I don’t want to spoil it but it has been pretty amazing so far!

Moment:

I haven’t really had a favourite moment before but I don’t get to do such exciting things all the time or at least every month but in February I did. At the start of the month I was very lucky to be able to instruct the dance group that I am the choreographer and teacher for at the Guy Sebastian concert here in Townsville. It was an amazing experience for the dancers and families to be a part of.  They got to meet him and dance along on stage with him. It was one of my proudest moments!

Ignore the sweaty face! 

Thanks for reading!

Let me know what you have loved...

Love, Rhiannon
