Get packing!

Heading to Perth tomorrow, and very excited to have a day off today to prepare for the occasion.

Preparation:

- mani/ped
- wax
- spray tan
- transport to/from airport

Warm-weather Packing Essentials - plan outfits prior to packing so everything is useful and essential:

- passport (if international)
- notebook
- 2 pens (very important!)
- phone/ charger/ headphones
- camera/ charger/ extra batteries
- medications
- bikini
- towel/scarf/sarong
- thongs
- hat
- sunscreen/ deodorant/ toiletries/ makeup (if you are staying with a friend coordinate so you don't double-up)
- PJs - or save packing space by wearing underwear/ t-shirt to bed
- workout clothes + runners (only if you will ACTUALLY work out, otherwise don't kid yourself!) or plan beach walks/ yoga/ pilates which don't require shoes
- one pair of versatile heels
- quick-drying, no need to iron dresses if possible, neutral colours like black (for multiple wears)
- accessories to add interest to plain clothes
- one large tote bag (i.e. carry on), one small evening bag
- one party outfit
- remember to save room for anything you might want to bring back

To wear on the plane:

- leggings/ comfy jeans/ shorts (depending on weather)
- one pair of comfortable flat shoes ( I wish mine were leopard print mui muis, below)
- blazer
- large scarf/pashmina/small blanket for warmth
- sunglasses
- layered singlet and t-shirt
- compression stockings if long flight
- reading materials: magazines/ books/ ipad
- handwipes/ sanitiser

Swoosh!

Sorry to be so Nike-biased but nothing inspires me to work out like pictures of beautiful people doing the same, and Nike sure know how to style-up their sportswear.

My Top 5 Running Tracks:

1. Pump It - Black Eyed Peas
2. This is How a Heart Breaks - Rob Thomas
3. We Belong Here - 78Violet
4. Volcano Girls - Veruca Salt
5. Love Today - Mika














Now all I need is an awesome tan!

Queenstown Day 4. & 5.

Day 4 involved more extreme sports. White water rafting with rapids up to a Grade 4. And a mechanical bull. That was extreme. As was the cowboy decor and 80s music video clips. Then we ended up on a pub crawl which was awesome even though it was a Monday night. Possessions were lost :)
These drinks came in teapots with fluoro shot glasses, they were SO tasty!

Rugby themes snacks on the Air New Zealand flight from Queenstown to Chirstchurch.
