Hi guys! I am back! When packing stuffs for vacation, one of the most important things to consider is the space. We have to think about clothes that are not going to eat up a lot of space. But I am not talking about bringing two pairs of short jeans and six t-shirts for the whole trip! Pieces that can go with everything, mix-and-match items or one-pieces for a whole outfit are what you should bring.

Here are how I pack for a 4 days 3 nights beach vacation...
Choosing the right luggage is another important thing. I go for a carry-on size bag from Samsonite.

Sportswear is too good to only be in the gym! From sweatpants, crop tops, sport bras, bomber jackets, sweatshirts and sneakers- these models show that sport gears are more fashionable than we think. The sportswear-to-streetwear thing wasn't anything new as it has been trendy since 2015 and casual clothes from the past till these days also have a hint of sportswear details like big pleated tennis skirt, polo collar and stripes. Bringing sportswear to streetwear means women not only want to look fashionable but they also care more about their clothes' functionality and comfortability.

Adidas and Alexander Wang already unveiled their new collaboration "Adidas Originals x AW" at New York fashion Week two weeks ago!



Thai teenagers are also taking that trend as I have seen some girls in our university wear sporty clothes like wearing big chunky hoodies with shorts or sporty co-ords.




Here are some of my recommendations...

Face Mask

- Homemade Mask -

2. Seaweed + honey

 

Seaweed is rich in sea minerals. It helps reduce skin inflammation

and acne blemishes. It also helps calm dry and itchy skin. One drawback is that seaweed leaves a mess around your sink because unlike oatmeal, it is not dissolved into small particles and washed away by water. Oh and make sure you buy seaweed for cooking not a roasted flavored seaweed snack!! :p

 

 

3. Black sesame seed + honey

This combination is easy and needs only two ingredients. Sesame also contains anti-inflammatory properties. This will help boost your skin elasticity and texture.

- Sheet Mask -
Sheet masks are quick and easy to use. I wear sheet masks 3-5 days a week as some of them are able to be worn daily.

1. Lululun

 

Cheap and can be used daily! A packet contains 7 sheets. I put this on after toning my skin and before applying my regular essence lotion. My favorite formulas are Lululun Rich Moisture Mask for hydration, Precious Red for brightening and hydration and Kyoto Green tea with Uji tea. I also have some other formulas like Lululun Precious White and Acacia Honey (Limited Edition only at Matsumoto Kiyoshi store).

 

 

2. Innisfree

 

This is more of a special sheet mask because it costs more than the Lululun one. Therefore, I use this only when I have a special occasion to go or when I feel like my skin really needs a quick rescue. The fabric is very thin and it fits my face perfectly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Leaders

 

Full with essence! Sometimes I feel like there is too much essence though. My favourite one is the anti-trouble formula because it contains green tea. I usually buy this when there is a buy 2 for 99 baht promotion at Watson (normally it costs 69 baht each)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scrub

1. Skinfood Black Sugar Mask Wash Off  & Skinfood Black Sugar Honey Mask Wash Off

This takes off my dead skin cell and slightly helps brighten the skin.

 

 

 

 

3. Green Bean Facial Scrub by Organique

 

 

An organic made-in-Thailand product. I got this from my father's friend in New Year's Day and I fell in love with it instantly from the first use! It is such a gentle exfoliator that can be used 3 times a week as it is less harsh than the normal scrubs that should be used only once a wekk. Leave it for about 3-5 minutes (make sure not to leave it more than that otherwise your skin might get dry and itchy)

 

 

Hair Treatment

 

1. Tresemme Split Recovery Treatment Masque

 

 

 

To be honest, it is not the best hair treatment as it contains Dimethicone (silicone) like many hair products do and I still haven't found the right one yet. But the scent is not too strong which is good because sometimes too much fragrance makes my scalp and neck a bit itchy. 

 

As I always mention, I believe in natural beauty and natural ingredients as I feel like they are organic and have never caused breakouts or irritation on my skin. So here are the beneficial oils I use on my hair...

 

2. Coconut oil, Argan oil, Sweet Almond oil

 

 

I like adding 2-3 drops of these oils into my hair mask. Sometimes I just use them alone as a hot mask by mixing coconut oil with argan oil and warm them in a microwave. Then I do a hair wrap using a plastic shower cap or plastic wrap. Leave it for about 30 minutes and wash off with lukewarm water.
