In a hippies travel bag

Hey lovely people, today is a wonderful day, the sun is shining, it's saturday, my day started with vegan pancakes...and soon I'll be off to one of my favourite european cities: Paris! I've already been there this january, but since it's not that expensive from here to get there, we thought, why not travellin' there again in may? ☽ ☽ ☽ ☽

So, while I am packing for our trip, I thought it would be fun to do a little post about what's in my travel bag. I personally love it, when I see posts like this on other blogs, for me it's so interesting to see what other people carry around in their bags. I always get a slight glimpse of their personalities then. So yea, let's get it started ☻

So, let's start with the things that I carry around with me every day [left to right] and are also not missing in my travel bag.

1. A good book. This time I chose "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert. So so inspiring!

2. An organic fruit and nut bite by Raw Bite for the drive.

3. A hygenic spray. I don't like when I canot wash my hands during a journey. So I always carry around a hygenic spray with me. My favourite is Dr. Bronner's fair trade bio lavender hand-hygenic-spray. It is antibacterial and leaves a lovely fresh scent on the hands.

4. I am a fool for natural scents, this roll on BLOM by the swedish brand "Vilda Växter" leaves the most beautifully natural scent on the wrists, the temples or the neck or simply wherever it's wanted. Smells like a flower meadow in summer. I always use it to get some refreshment.

5. A light perfume, I love this one by 4711 with white peach and coriander. Since I love everthing peach scented, this one is my favourite to go! Not a heavy scent, very light and flowy. Perfect for spring and summer.

6. A little indian coin purse that I once bought in Ibiza, it keeps my little Malachite stone, the guardian stone for travelers.

7. Some tea. I always keep some tea sachets in my bag, in case there's a water boiler in the hotel room. I don't like the conventional tea you mostly get there, I don't like flavoured tea, so I always bring my own.

8. A lip balm, I love Rose Lollipop from Lush. It smells heavenly of roses and citrus fruits. Cares for my lips during a hectic day at work and so while traveling.

7. An essential: Hand cream. I always have one in my bag. My hands dry out very quickly, this vegan natural hand cream is by Dr. Scheller and is made of almonds and calendula.

And here's a sneak peak into my beauty/care/bath bag. Before I'm going on a journey, I always figure out what I'll need and what can stay at home. I don't want to carry some extra weight with me. Just the essentials. Sometimes I buy shampoo and showering gel at my destination, so I don't have the weight of heavy bottles in my bag/luggage.

1. Talc deo from Italy in a pretty nostalcig blue bottle.

2. Moisturiser with rose, lime & cucumber from Neil's Yard  Remedies in collaboraion with Delciously Ella (I also love the cook books). The texture of this is really smooth and creamy.

3. Lulu Organics Hair Powder lavender and clary-sage. Already wrote about this in my last post.

4. Some cotton pads for cleaning the face.

5. Rose hydrosol spray by Mullein & Sparrow. I use this as a facial water and to just spray on the hair, the face for some extra refreshment.

6. Coco Gloss from Lovely Day Botanicals. I apply this in the wet hair after showering, makes the combing much more easy.

7. A bamboo toothbrush my friend Friederike gave me. It's vegan, water-neutral and fairly produced.

8. Vegan tooth paste made of coconut oil, cinnamon & sweet orange by Nurturing Soul.

9. A wooden brush.
