First proper holiday in one week's time! Please help me prep!

[yayholiday]

I hope you're all having a good sunday eve!

Next tuesday I'm going on my first "actual" holiday in a loooong time (I know a lot of you might not consider it to be a big deal but I'm buzzing!) I'm going to Greece for 18 days with two close girl friends after dreaming about the sun for too long and now that it's nearly a week away, I realise that I've got nothing planned or ready yet.

I'm aware that these things don't really NEED planning aside from packing and not forgetting my passport... but I would love some enthusiasm and advice for ways I can prepare and get ready to make myself as ready and hot as possible and the holiday a really good one. I've booked my lashes and the hairdressers at the weekend. Any other ideas ladies?

Take an adaptor and a power strip - saves fighting over a single plug and the need for multiple adaptors (learned that from here: brilliant!)

Have a lovely time!

don’t NEED planning???? But that’s half the fun. You need to start a list. A3 paper minimum, and a range of colored sharpies.

If you’ll be on a beach the sand will exfoliate your tan so bring something to top it up. Ditto for your pedicure.

Regardless of the claims on the bottle there is no sun block that survives towel drying after swimming so bring plenty to reapply.

My hair goes nuts on holidays. I’m sure there are good products.. maybe chat with your hairdresser. I tend to go for the dramatic hat.

That is genius and yet so obvious I can't believe I've never thought of it or heard anyone ever say it.

I know! I'd lived a travel heavy life for twenty odd years and it had genuinely never occurred to me

Ooo, choose books to read
