HOW TO: Deal With Plane Stress...

Hey there,

I know what you're all probably thinking after reading the title of my blog post, have you seen the weather outside? I agree, it's not my ideal weather for a vacation. However, after having moved into the loft at work, I'm constantly watching planes flying overhead - it's hard not to day dream about my holiday! I'm nowhere near an expert on this, infact I've only ever flown once, but I remember feeling so anxious sitting in that airport for the first time. I know how terrifying flying can be for certain people, so I wanted to write a post to offer some helpful tips to ensure your flight is a good one...



Hydrate Yourself - it's always good to ensure you drink plenty before and during your flight. I find that my mood increases dramatically by hydrating myself well and prepares me for my travels.

Rest Well -  there's nothing worse than a sleepless night the evening before your flight. Reading before bed is a good way to relax, ensuring I fall asleep with no trouble.

Boiled Sweets - I found that squashing a packet of sweets in my coat pocket was the best decision I ever made on my first flight. Sucking on hard candy is a great distraction when flying and also the best way to help when your ears pop!

Relaxing Music - before you head on your journey, ensure you have a playlist with your favourite music stored on your phone/iPod. Listening to your most loved songs is the best way to help with any anxieties you may have.

I hope you find my tips useful and take note of these when flying abroad!


Bye for now! Xxx

#14 Blogmas - Favourite Childhood Christmas Memory

Hey there!

It's safe to say I've fallen extremely far behind with my Blogmas posts this year! Despite the cold weather, I decided to brave the shops to hunt down my Christmas gifts - a task I should have completed way before December. Somehow, I seem to get so caught up in the Christmas spirit, dancing away to festive songs and spending my evenings watching back-to-back festive films, that I completely forget about my Christmas shopping. This weekend was a challenge, but I can officially say I am well and truly ready for the Christmas Day! 



Alongside weaving my way in-between the hustle and bustle of busy shoppers making their last minute trips out before Christmas, despite the bad weather, I've been busy writing Christmas cards, making trips to see old friends and spending some quality time with my family - hence the lack of blog posts. 

#14 Blogmas - Favourite Childhood Christmas Memory

Ever since I can remember, Christmas has always been my favourite holiday - plenty of excuses to express my inner child! Growing up, my family and I have always made a huge effort at Christmas to keep the magic alive. There was always some nibbles and a glass of milk left on the table the night before Christmas and an array of tinsel hanging all around the house. 

 As a child, the countdown to Christmas was always magical - every year I'd make a special trip to Father Christmas, cherishing every minute I had with him! The week before Christmas was always my favourite - I'd sit eagerly waiting at my window, ensuring I was in earshot of the Christmas float, before dashing out to greet Father Christmas at the door. I can assure you I was never disappointed!


If you liked my first day of Blogmas, I would recommend you challenge yourself to this festive tag - it would be nice to read some of your posts!

#11 Blogmas - How Are You Counting Down to Christmas?

Hey there!

Bet you weren't expecting this one, I've decided to change the theme of my blog post yet again. Christmas is edging closer and closer - only 9 more working days to go. It's incredible how it's soon creeping up on us and I'm still yet to sort out my Christmas presents - shame on me! 



The decorations are up with festive songs playing on repeat and the fluffy jumpers are out. Frothy hot chocolates and over-sized fluffy dressing gowns are becoming my essentials this December. I love the buzzing atmosphere and jolly people at Christmas, which makes commuting to and from work very enjoyable!

#11 Blogmas - How Are You Counting Down to Christmas?

Everybody loves an advent calendar for Christmas, no matter what age you are! Christmas just isn't the same without one - I've made sure it stands proudly on top of my fire place this year. The countdown to Christmas is definitely what makes December most enjoyable. I love coming home from work knowing that I have yet one more door to open and we're one step closer to Christmas. 

This year I purchased a Mars Bar advent calendar - nothing special, but definitely worth the price I paid for it, so yummy! It's always fun to hunt for the next number and I love guessing what Christmas treats are hidden behind the closed doors. I'm literally the biggest kid at Christmas - I simply can't wait for Christmas!
