The Boohoo Games

Hello everyone! Hope you’re all well. An email popped into my inbox a couple of weeks ago, asking if I’d like to take part in The Boohoo Games. To celebrate the 2016 Rio Olympics, they’ve challenged bloggers to compete in various ‘sports’. My sport was Bag Diving. The Challenge? Pick a bag and fit as much stuff as possible in it!

Shorts, Top, Sunglasses, Bag – All Boohoo

Boohoo has an amazing collection of bags, and the one I chose was this super cute pink rucksack. It may be small but there’s plenty of room for the essentials! I love how it looks with these elephant prints shorts. This would be a typical ‘Weekend Away’ outfit. Something light and comfortable.

Here are some of the items I managed to squeeze into my bag:

I’m actually going away on holiday on Monday, so I tried to think of what I’d pack in my hand luggage!

• Make-up: Mascara, Concealer, SPF etc. That way if your checked luggage gets lost you won’t be left stranded without anything.
• Sunglasses: For when you cba with make-up
• Dry Shampoo: Because greasy hair = gross
• Change of clothes: Essential for long-haul flights. If your main suitcase gets lost, at least you have something to change into post-flight
• Vaseline: Because chapped lips are not fun. I find they get worse on flights too.
• Make-Up Remover: I feel gross if I fall asleep without taking my make-up off. Spots and panda eyes are not a good look.
• Kindle / Magazine: one of the things I love about long journeys is it gives me time to catch up on my reading
• Phone, Passport, Keys, Purse, Flight Documents: I keep all my important documents in my bag’s zip-compartment so I can access it all easily.
