Make me up before you go-go!

Or essential accessories for girls who want to look radiant on the run this winter...



















Okay. This one is truly inspired by The Simple Life, where the two filthy rich girls, Paris and bosom pal, Nicole, are put in fish-out-of-water scenario. The show made waves for all the wrong reasons. Nicole didn’t know what a well was and Paris couldn’t help wondering if American superstore chain Wal-Mart sold “wall stuff”. What really took the cake was Paris stating the obvious as she ate a piece of chicken - that it, well, “tastes like chicken”. Ladies and gentlemen, that was Bimboville.
Stripped of all their luxuries, but not their make-up kits, the girls struggled to survive the simple life.
This post sticks to pretty much the same route, the only difference being we have real girls on the move. It's no mean feat for the average person to go without makeup. After all, life without mirrors has to be unimaginable. So, get ready for the road trip, baybeeee!!!
AS FOR THE MAN, JUST THROW IN YOUR TOOTHBRUSH, AND YOU'RE READY TO ROLL..
When planning what to take with you when you go, here are some questions to take into consideration. First of all, consider the season and the location. What temperatures and weather conditons do you expect to find? How much time will you spend inside or out?
If you are staying in hotels, you don't need shampoo, soap, or a hair dryer as they usually provide those items. Otherwise, better toss basic stuff like shampoo, towels, soap, toothbrushes, hair brushes, nail files, and other inexpensive items in the car. You don't have to take it all with you, just buy it if you need it, and then toss it when you don't need it or you are returning home. Items that can spill in your case are best purchased when you need them at your travel destination, saving you the grief of opening your suitcase to find fingernail polish remover everywhere.

HERE WE GO:
Hair styling gels and spray
Hair Straightener or Detangler
Lip gels/lip gloss
Lipstick
Blush for cheeks
Perfumes/colognes
Eye makeup and mascara
Make up removers or facial cleansers
Nail polish and removers

..............
PAD IT!
.............
Sanitary napkins or panty liners are excellent emergency bandages on serious wounds and cuts. If the serious wound or cut is on the arm or leg, instead of using tape, consider holding the pad against the wound with cut pantyhose legs. Soak the pads in water to act like a sponge for cleaning sores. Panty liners work well to protect blisters and other foot injuries and work as padding in your shoes. Sanitary napkins are really just highly compressed cotton so they are small and lightweight with their own protective containers, fitting easily into any case or camera bag.
