Vacation favourites 2015

Normally with this kind of post I would start with an update of the past month. However, because I went on vacation in August, I decided to make a separate post about it. Either at the end of this week or the beginning of the next one.

What I will do fills you in on what my plans are for the month September, and of course talk about my favourites of august.
            Let's get started. September I have planned to be a busy month, I have a lot of footage from my vacation that I would like to use in posts and videos this month. I would like to spend less time behind the computer and television, which means to not endlessly watch stuff I don’t enjoy as much or are interested in (something I do when I’m procrastinating). This time I’m wasted could be better used for example, writing, working on my course, filming, sewing (something I would like to learn for a while, my mum would love to teach me a bit and what better time is there to start than now?), drawing/painting (I used to do this on a daily basis and loved to do I also remember it calmed me), baking, or even exercise would be a good idea (something I’ve noticed helps me with anxious feelings).

Now on to the favourites:
Clean body spray, Xenos: During our holiday shopping, we came across this spray and decided to bring it with us on our trip. A brilliant idea it turned out to be. The first day after a day words of sitting in the car and driving towards our destination, we spent one night at a campsite where toilets were leaking (after flushing water came flooding towards your feet, how lovely) and it all seemed in need of a good cleaning session. Naturally, I didn’t feel much for a shower in there, but did feel a bit grubby. The spray was a perfect alternative, it did freshes me up a bit and I didn’t have to come near that shower. Another great use for it is when you have long walks as I do on holiday and feel a bit sweaty and hot, you can use it then and there to freshen up a bit.

Sun protection face cream with SPF 50, Rituals: My first skin protector especially for the face. Before I would always use the same as I would for my body, but after this I don’t think I can go back. My skin seems to like it way more.
Single-use flash camera, Hema: I still have to get the photos developed, but already I love this camera. I like the nostalgic aspect of it, when I was smaller these kind of camera’s that I used on holiday (next to the camera of my parents of course). I can remember that getting developed and all in your hand, already forgotten what pictures you did take, getting through them one by one was like getting back to that vacation. Plus, you never know whether the pictures you taken came out alright.

Handcream, Hema: first of all the packaging is so pretty, it puts a smile on my face every time I see it. But of course it isn’t all just the packaging, the cream is nice and moisturizing, but doesn't leave you with sticky hands. Your skin absorbs it quickly.Notebook, Hema: I love to write down what happened in the day, especially when I’m on holiday. I wasn’t a surprise I had to take at least one notebook with me. I chose this one because the hard cover protects the paper from folding and of course because the way it looks.
