Packing light
Now, if you’re
like me, then packing for a holiday can stress you out. It should be pure joy,
but you spend ages trying to decide on what outfits. Then it’s a mission to try
and fit it all in your suitcase. Honestly, that fear of checking in at the
airport and hoping: please don’t be over, please don’t be over. I genuinely
dread the packing day of a holiday.
Well, I
think I’ve discovered an easy fix. And you know, if you really think about it,
it’s genius! The solution to all of your packing problems is the ‘three-three-three’
method.
What is the
‘three-three-three’ method, I hear you ask. Well, let me tell you; we’ve
cracked the code. It’s the process of packing three tops, three bottoms, and
three pairs of shoes. That’s it. Then all you need to do is create different
outfit combinations with those nine things.
Obviously,
there is the matter of if you have a little bit of, you know, maybe a messy tee,
spilt a bit of hummus on you, on your jeans. Nut I’m always here for doing the
laundry on holiday. I know it’s all relaxing and stuff, but then you can just
take a small suitcase, that’s it. All you need to do is have nine different
things. Genius! Genius, it takes the pressure off. And you might discover some
outfits you’d never even thought of.
If you’ve
got a trip away this week, try it out and then report back to me next Sunday,
same time. I’ll be here.

Flatpacks
I do need
to tell you about my day today. So I did something – you might in fact be doing
it right now, and normally this is one of the most stressful tasks you could
ever do – and that is: building flatpacks. I mean every single person hates it.
It doesn’t matter if you’re doing it by yourself – you get stressed, if you’re
doing it with somebody else you get stressed with the flatpack, you get stressed
with them. It is just an utter nightmare.
But today
we put together a wardrobe – not one argument! I feel like this has never
happened before, I don’t know if it was because I was so sleep deprived, I just
didn’t care, nor have any form of conversation. And do you know what, when we’d
put the wardrobe up at the end and realised there was a crucial part of it
missing – just didn’t care!
So if you
are doing that right now, my top tip for flatpack building with no stress is:
Just make sure you’re super tired beforehand, and you won’t care.
Vintage clothes
Now if you’ve
had a clear-out of your wardrobe this weekend and found any pieces of clothing
from the 90s, don’t send them to the charity shop just yet, no! As you could be
like the Princess of Wales, who the other day was out wearing a jacket from the
90s, yes! Kate was wearing a vintage Chanel jacket. That’s what the fashion
experts called it, and said it was originally worn in 1995 in a fashion show by
Claudia Schiffer.
Now, yes.
She looked great but I really can’t get my head around something from 1995
being called ‘vintage’! Can we just stop that, please? It’s making us feel old!
All inclusive
If you’re
just having a little look on your phone tonight, you might have seen this: it’s
done the rounds today. This guy called Josh has gone viral. So he was just
looking at holidays. He realised that he can get an all inclusive holiday to
Turkey, and it was cheaper than him paying rent on his flat. So his monthly
outgoing for his flat in Manchester is 950 quid. He found a 28-stay in a deluxe
resort including flights, all your food, all your drink for 938 pounds!
What are we
all doing here? Why aren’t we all out there living at large in this all
inclusive resort? Although, saying that, you feel like after a week at an all
inclusive, with a 12-course buffet for every single meal, and free-flowing
Gin-Ts at 11 o’clock in the morning, after 28 days you might not feel too
grand!
