How to survive a Long-Haul flight

Long haul flights, you've even been their or not. I class long haul flights as anything more than 4+hours. I've done a good share of short and long haul flights and can say I find them both easy.

I have a friend who travelled for 3 hours and hated it! Couldn't wait to get off. I also have a friend who hates the thought of being on a plane for 5+hours!  You can either love long flights or hate! I've travelled since a really young age and it has never bothered me in the slightest.

After speaking to my friend and trying to convince her that its really not that bad on a flight for 10+hours I got inspired to write down the tips I told her to make it just that bit easier and more relaxing for someone who runs at the idea!

First things first! Don't set yourself up the disaster! What I mean by this is don't go into it thinking "Uh this flight is going to be hell" "I can not wait for this to be over"

If you have done long haul before and you know that you do find it difficult being sat in the same spot for a number of hours, why not consider upgrading? Of course this a extra price but will be so worth it. First class has a lot more comfort and room for you to feel more at ease than in economy unless travelling my a A380 (airbus) which all seats are pretty spacious!

Take a nap! Really, its easier than it sounds when your in the sky! With literally nowhere to go or no view change for hours, sleeping is your best friend! Before you know it 5 hours will go by! Just when I think I wont sleep on a flight I end up having a good nights sleep!

Load up on your devices... your phone, laptop , things to keep you entertained and busy. Normally long haul flights will have a selection of the newest movies to watch! Some airlines provide you with earplugs that are new and you can keep, but its always nice to have your own!

Make a check list of what you plan to do on this vacation or work trip. Write notes or plan ahead.

Hydration is just as important up their as it is when your feet are on the ground, if not even more important. Cabin pressure is dry and will air zap moisture from your skin. stock up on your bottled water and always bring hand creams.

Take a walk up and down the plane to stretch your legs, this will reduce a risk of DVT Deep Vein Thrombosis. While some people are probably at a 0% chance of this its always good to stay safe.

Happy flying!

Pop Art Love!

 

I love pop art, I think its so fun and quirky!

Clearista retexturizing gel

I cant believe I have never come across the brand Clearista before! I think its because its not so big in the UK as it is over in the US.


The Clearista Retexturizing Gel is a gentle gel designed to help skin problems and reduce. 

 

 It almost feels like an exfoliator as it has bead type product in which  believe is biodegradable jojoba ester.

I guess it will just make the process work better. My first thought when using was it was actually really rough and harsh on my skin I was worried it was going to dry my skin out! I waited for my skin to have a breakout before I used it so I could really test it and see, I haven't had much sleep lately which contributes to my skin looking tired and breaking out. I hoped for the best when I used it and was really wishing for a miracle within a product I have never tried before let alone even heard of!

 

 

• 1st use - My skin felt refreshed and really clean I felt like it was the best thing for my skin to have at this time.
• 2nd use - I started noticing a difference my skin was clearing up faster than normal..
• 3rd use - My skin was clear again! 

After the 3/4 days of testing the product out It is safe to say I have used it every day and it has become part of my daily skincare routine and a go to product when my skin is having a tough time!

All you need to know about Vivid Drinks



I love my cups of tea.. after all I am English ;)

Recently I discovered a brand called
Vivid Drinks they say that their drinks are
powered by organic matcha green tea
which is from japan!
Every carton contains natural caffeine and the
L-theanine which is to help busy brains stay
sharp and alert.

All of the Vivid drinks are 100% unsweetened
if you already wasn't aware sugar
is proven to negatively impactthe brains performance.

I was lucky enough to be sent the original unsweetened matcha green tea which came in a package with 24 drinks in to take the challenge of not drinking caffeine! I  have drank over just half of them I have been drinking them once or twice a day trying to replace my normal tea drinking throughout the day! I was expecting the taste to be awful! As other green teas I have tried before I did not really take a liking too. I really love how Vivid tastes its a very subtle taste that is easy to drink. The UK has had some of the hottest weather for the past week and this has been the drink I have found my self reaching for out the fridge each time! Not only has it been cooling me down but knowing that its doing me good is a extra. You can shop all the range here! I am going to continue to drink the matcha green tea until I have finished them all, I will then report back on how its influenced me to start replacing caffeine slowly! xo
