Holiday Big Mistake
Last year I made a BIG mistake
Shopping for our trip to stay with the old dears in Spain, I needed more cleanser. I couldn’t find my usual one, so I opted for one from the same brand but – I didn’t read the bottle.
Unlike my usual overall cleanser, this one did not remove my eye make-up, and I was reduced to scrubbing madly at my dark eye pencil and even darker mascara until I looked like a red-eyed panda who’d been out on the razzle the night before!
The next morning was spent in a fruitless search to find a remove-everything-in-sight cleanser, and I ended up having to buy an eye make-up remover product that I utterly hated using. What a waste of energy, having to use two products instead of one.
Moral of the story: never take new untried products on holiday.
The previous year, Neil and I learnt another valuable lesson when travelling abroad. One electrical adapter between us is NOT enough.
How many appliances will you need to have plugged in all at the same time?
- Overnight, we need both mobile phones on charge
- Every morning and evening I religiously use an electric toothbrush – that also needs charging overnight
- And when I titivate my barnet, it’s a right pain in the proverbial having to unplug the hairdryer just so I can plug in my hot brush (you can tell from this that I have the patience of a gnat)
For smooth operations first thing in the morning and last thing at night, without me having a dicky fit, two adapters would seem to be the absolute minimum, with a third making Neil’s life so much less stressful…
