My Holiday Checklist

I thought seeing as I did a kid’s checklist yesterday I would do a checklist for myself too! I always make sure everyone else has everything they need and my needs are at the bottom on the pile! I always forget something- generally my charger!

my holiday checklist

We are going away to France for one week and are going to be spending most of the time on the beach, however we are going to be visiting Disneyland Paris one of the days so I need to make sure I am prepared for that too!

Here is a list of everything I will need:

Clothes

  • 5 vest tops in varying colours
  • 2 skirts
  • 2 daytime dresses
  • 1 evening dress – I am taking a black maxi dress and will style with jewellery
  • 3 pairs of shorts
  • 1 swimming costume

470029 Captiva Iris

I have this lovely Miraclesuit in an iris colour- it claims to make you look 10lbs lighter so hopefully will counteract the 10lbs the camera will be adding (and all of the food I plan to scoff while we are away!!).

  • 2 bikinis (yes I am going to brave it- I may even post a photo!!)
  • A kaftan

kaftan meIf you saw my kiddy checklist yesterday you will have seen that the girls have one too- we are totally going to match!!  It is from Tortue De Mer, check them out if you want a gorgeous coverup for the beach.

  • 1 cardigan for the evenings
  • 1 pair of flip flops
  • 1 pair of sandals
  • 1 pair of pumps
  • 1 sunhat
  • Sunglasses
  • Beach bag – to carry everyone else’s stuff!!
  • Enough underwear for the week

Toiletries

  • Suncream factor 30
  • Makeup- I intend on being makeup free for the majority of the time but will take my Olay touch of moisturiser, eyebrow pencil and some lip tint.

olayHave you ever tried this? I have been using it for years- it is fab!!

  • Babywipes- they really are brilliant aren’t they?
  • Nail file

Extras

  • Phone + charger
  • Camera + charger
  • Water bottle

brita fill n go

I am a bit funny about drinking water from other countries so am taking these fab Brita Fill & Go water bottles. I am also taking some Robinson’s Squash’d so we can add them to the water to make it taste a bit nicer!

  • Beach towels
  • Picnic blanket

Hand luggage

I am going to take a small handbag with me with all of our booking forms, passports and Euros inside. I will probably also have my sunglasses in there along with my phone and camera.

Ok I think that is it, it was so much easier writing the girls’ list!

Have I forgotten anything? 

I have been sent the Kaftan and Brita bottles for our holiday, all thoughts are my own.

This list is fab! I am off to Eurocamp in a couple of weeks, it'll be my first time going on an Eurocamp holiday and our first ever family holiday, so i'm super excited but a little anxious about the packing!! I'm determined not to overpack as we'll get buried in the car en route lol!

You seem to have it all organised! I can't see anything you've forgotten yet you seem to have not over done it! I always end up taking too much of certain things and not enough of the stuff I actually need! I'm going to write a list this year though! :) x #TheList
