Lifestyle, food and drink, and our family life and travel adventures.
There’s something extremely exciting about going on holiday and for many people, this excitement starts with packing. Getting all of your bits together to take on your travels is always fun, whether that’s gathering the clothing essentials or doing your annual trip to Boots for the holiday must-haves. When it comes to toiletries and beauty items, however, it can be difficult to know exactly what you need to take, especially when you’re working with weight restrictions. Below is a list of the top toiletries and beauty essentials that you need to take on your holidays with you.
You wouldn’t leave the house without brushing your teeth, so you certainly need these on holiday with you. It’s amazing just how many people leave and forget to pack these two essential items, but they’re always easy to pick up from the local shop if you did forget them. Pack yourself a mini toothpaste and a travel-friendly toothbrush and you’re good to go. You can even buy small travel-friendly mouthwashes too, so you can keep your pearly whites fresh throughout your trip.

If you’re someone who takes vitamins daily to maintain a healthy balanced lifestyle, then don’t forget to pack your vitamins. From multi-vitamins to vitamin C supplements, you can’t go wrong with keeping your body supplied with the essential vitamins, especially if you’re travelling to a hot country. Keeping your body nourished and cared for will really help you to enjoy your holiday as well as keeping your immune system strong, which is key when travelling to places you may not have been before.

You often find that hotels supply you with shampoo and conditioner, but it’s very rarely the kind you’re used too. For those with longer hair that needs constant care and maintenance, you’ll probably want your own shampoo and conditioner so that your hair looks and feels the way you like it. When you change up your shampoo or conditioner things can change quite a lot, from the feel to the condition of your hair, so it’s best to stick to what you know and keep your favourites to hand.

There’s nothing worse than suffering on holiday, especially when you’re so far from home. With so many different factors that can cause you headaches, stomach ache and even bowel issues, it’s always good to have some paracetamol to hand. If you’re travelling to a hot country, you may find that the sun can result in you feeling a little off, or leaving you feeling a little woosy. If this is the case, paracetamol is the best thing to help bring you around without having to take anything that could have a lasting effect on your symptoms.
