My Travel Routine!

Haloha everyone! What's been happening? Everyone good? Good. Today's post is going to be about my travel routine. This will be the last post of mine of travel of mine for a while before I update them or have some more travel things I will like to talk about. I am going away in a week so I may post some photos that I will be taking. Just a reminder that I will be posting blogs every Monday and Friday because that fits into my schedule and hopefully yours too. I may post blogs in between the time period that I won't be posting if I have anything I want to post early or need to post in advanced. If anything changes of course I will let you guys know. So with that being said, lets get on with the post.

So my routine starts a week before hand, the only things I do is pull out my clothes and start to pack my carry on and my suitcase.

My routine then goes on to the night before where I pack all my soaps the I de-can from the bottles in to travel containers, pack my carry on and finally pack my suitcase once I pack my toiletries.

For more info on those times, check out my 'How I Pack My Suitcase', 'Dealing With Travel Anxiety' & 'My Travel Essentials' blogposts to find out for info on how I do these things that I mentioned about my routine in more detail with the blogposts I mentioned above. Please check those out because it will really help you.

So now it is the day of the flight. I always like to relax or sometimes even sleep before my flight just because I like to be refreshed and relaxed. If I have a morning flight, that is a perfect time for me to go to sleep. I just make sure to go to bed early so that I am fully refreshed in the morning. If it is an afternoon flight or a night flight, I either rest or go to have a nap. I make sure to have at least three hours of sleep before I have to get ready. But I always make sure to give my self at least another two and a half hours for me to get ready so that I don't have time to procrastinate.

When I wake up, first thing I do is to get my clothes out. I generally have my clothes and products ready the night before I leave. I take a shower first. I have a full shower. What I do first is wash my hair. My hair is quite long, it's down to my belly button so I want to make sure that is clean and tangle free so what I use is the 'Giovanni Golden Wheat Shampoo for Normal to Oily Hair'. I find that that product is amazing. It feels amazing on my hair, feels lightweight and really gets the job done. Also it smells like a strong smell of peppermint so that's a big bonus. Then I use the 'Catwalk Headshot Reconstructive Intense Conditioner'. That conditioner is amazing! It also has a sweet peppermint scent to it and it's lightweight and super soft and it can really go a long way if you use just a little bit. As you can probably tell, I don't use the shampoo for it. That is because it is not being made anymore and I ran out of the shampoo of it so the conditioner is all I have left and I really wish they made more because it really is amazing. After washing my hair I use my 'Bath & Body Works Beautiful Day body soap'. It smells amazing and is super soft on your skin, it makes you feel super clean and the smell smells incredible. I even went and bought myself the matching hand sanitiser because it smells amazing! Then I wash my face with my 'Simple Face Cleanser' just to really get my face clean and feel refreshed. I finally also brush my teeth because you always want a fresh breath wherever and whenever you go. I also use this time to do something with my hair. I either leave it down, put it up in a bun, braid or plait it in some way or I curl it and make waves in my hair then put it in a pony tail- hopefully you know what I mean.That may seem a bit odd but I curl it so that it looks presentable and also I generally put it up in a pony tail and I love having curled pony tails.

After I shower, I then get changed into my clothes. As I mentioned in my 'How I Deal With Travel Anxiety Post', I mentioned that I get anxious and tired so I like to wear pyjama like clothes. I wear sweatpants from Victoria's Secret or I wear sweatpants like pants from Cotton On, I then wear my Topshop shirt which is something I rarely wear to bed which I said in my 'How I deal With Travel Anxiety' post. It is made out of cotton and it is something easy to sleep in. I then put on my Nike blue trainers as shoes because it is easy to move around with and perfect shoes to travel in. Make sure to wear deodorant as well because it is a huge essential and people are going to love you if you wear it.

I personally don't wear makeup on flights or even to the airport, but this will be the time where you put on your makeup if you want to.

Now I am dressed and showered, I have an hour and a half left to get ready. It takes me an hour to get dressed and shower when travelling because I like to do it super slow and chilled and it gives me time to dance around and sing along to my fave songs. After I am showered and dressed, I now pack my final things and also check that I have everything.

After checking that I have everything, I now have about an hour to chill. By now I am super anxious. By just thinking about it and writing about it I'm getting shivers and getting anxious. So I use my hour of chilling, watch some T.V. and things like that.

After chilling for a good forty five minutes, I then unplug and pack my electronics, organise it and then I just check that I have everything I have in my carry on filled with my travel essentials. If you would like to see what I pack in my carry on with my travel essentials in it, check out my 'My Travel Essentials!' post about it will give you tips and what I pack in my carry on so definitely check that out because it will help you a lot- or at least I hope it will! That normally takes me five mins to do.

I now use the final ten mins I have left to check around my house to make sure I have everything organised and in place, everything I need is packed and with me and that I am fully ready and that is my travel routine finished.

That is basically my travel routine and I hope you enjoyed reading it. What is an essentials part of your travel routine? Comment it down below!
