Travel Necessities

It's fitting that I received a little suitcase charm for my bracelet this Christmas, because it seems like all I've done since then is travel! Last week I was in Northern Ontario for business, and this week my job has taken me East, to lively and beautiful Halifax! Although it will be a busy week with work, meetings, and a lot of reading, I look forward to checking out the locals pubs and restaurants at night. I've already embraced the Maritime lifestyle, and enjoyed a great seafood dinner!

One of the most tedious parts of travelling, and those of you who travel a lot will understand, is the packing up of all our toiletries, makeup, accessories, handbags, and shoes. It's exhausting! I don't realize how many different products I use at home, until I try and fit them all in a little travel bag. I end up having to narrow everything down to my "must-haves". Here's a list of my most important items that I can't travel without:

1. The Body Shop Chamomile Eye Makeup Remover. I love this product because my makeup literally comes off in one swipe. It's cooling, soothing and feels great.



2. Philosophy Purity Facial Cleanser. I've blogged about this product before. I just can't get enough of it! My skin is always clean, soft, and smooth after I use it.



3. Clinique All-About-Eyes Eye Cream. The second I'm done swiping on this little delight, my eyes instantly look brighter and more awake. Love.



4. Rimmel Glam Eyes Lash Flirt Mascara. One of the best, most affordable mascaras I've ever used. I love this stuff. It coats every lash and stays put all day.



5. Sebastien Volupt Shampoo and Conditioner. My friend Steph introduced me to these products. They leave your hair moisturized and full of volume.

The Final 3 Christmas Wishes

Today I'm wrapping up my 2010 Christmas Wishlist. I promised you my top 25 gift wishes, and I've had a blast finding them all!

I'm posting the last 3 wishes together for two reasons: 1. I'm running out of time to do this! 2. They are all travel-related. I'm hoping to take a trip with my family in 2011, and that trip would be even more fabulous if I brought these along...

*Note - They are all from Etsy!

Vintage Maximillian leather suitcases - 3 piece set from the 1940's.

Leather handbound journal. (to log all the details of the trip)

Baroque, set of 7, solid perfumes. So tiny and convenient
for travelling!
