How to not overpack your suitcase

Hi!
Today I'm going to tell you how to pack light for travel!

For example for  5 days trip in a small carry on.

I used to always be a person who would pack a hudge bag like a large check in bag for any travel whether it was a short trip, or for a week or for a few days.
But know i have learnt how to pack myself wisely.
Firstly I was thinking no way, i will never be able to pack my whole stuff in that small luggage. But then i thought ok i like challenges, let's try it!
And that's what I'm going to show you today.
So if you travel a lot you will never have a problem with paying extra for your overpacked bag.
It is always easier to travel with only carry on that taking a hudge, uncomfortable suitcase.

Firstly let's face the truth, us girls need a lot of equipement, lot's more that boys do.
We always pack a blowdryer, a moisturiser, a shower gel,make up, accesories ten pairs of shoes, 2 pyjamas and so on...
What do they take with them? Boxers, socks, a pair of jeans, 2 t-shirts, one warm and cosy hoodie ( of course for us in case that we'll  be freezing)



These are my easy steps on how to do it:

1.  First thing what I always do now before I travel is to check the weather of where I'm travelling and pack according to the weather.
2. Think about the outfit that I'm going to wear on the day of the travel I always try to wear the heaviest things on to myself so I don't have to pack it in the carry on then. So everything like the leather jacket, my wedgies  everything that is heavy will go on me. It won't take any space in my suitcase.
3. Plan all of your outfits- preselect all of your outfits you can also take a picture of every look so you will later not forget about your plans. You will not have to worry about what you are going to wear during your travel every single day, it makes your life so much easier!
4. Choose lightweight items- Try to take things which are made only of lightweight fabrics, dresses, cardigans etc. Don't take those which take a lot of space
5. Fold and roll your items- Fold your shirts and later on roll it thightly, in this shape it will fit everywhere
6. put your underwear rolled into the garment bag, it won't take much place in your suitcase.
7. Put all of your accessories into one garment bag
8. And the last and the most important tip is to take ONLY THE ESSENTIALS!

Now you are ready to pack your own suitcase, I hope you will find my tips useful.

Hugs and happy new year! 

the polish surprise

A post will be devoted to Peru. Well, you won't learn many things about the country but still counts.

Close your eyes and try to imagine Latin America. Can you name all of the countries? What do you know about them? About their culture or geography? Supposedly you will know that they speak a bizzare type of spanish.

Now more specifficaly... 

What exactly do you know about Peru?

That it’s situated near to the ocean in South America? Yes, you’re totally right.

Maybe that its capital city is Lima? Yes, it is.

Have you ever heard about Machu Picchu? For sure.

But…

Did you know that the current Peruvian president has polish roots?

Unfortunately for our country, few people are aware of that.

Pedro Pablo Kuczynski is our main character today. Yes, in fact, his father was a famous polish doctor, who in addition was born in Poznań, escaped in 1933 from Nazis. Moreover, he was one of the earliest public health leaders in Peru.

But let me tell you more about the current president. His fight for  Peruvian ‘throne’ was utterly difficult. He took part in the presidential elections 3 times. First time, he was 3^rd. Then, his opponent Keiko Fujimori, a daughter of expresident, had many votes and PPK lost again. Even though, in last elections he finally managed to succeed. Previously, he served as a Minister of Economy and Finance and later on, he became a Prime Minister.

What can we say about his promises for Peru?

He said that he would increase the minimum wage,  implement tax breaks for small businesses and reduce the national sales tax from 18% to 15%.

Furthermore, he strives for the equality in Peru, as in his DNA is written help for needy people.

I think that it’s a great thing to have such a person as a Peru president. We can be proud of him and his relation with our country even if he was born in Peru and surely he’s more connected to its nation.

I hope you could learn something about him and Peru. If you need more information don’t hesitate to ask ‘uncle google’.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Best Duo: A good book and a warm blanket.

Relax with a good book? Of course! I love reading books in the autumn

! In general,  I think that a short day strongly helps to spend long evenings in the company of books. And of course with the company pf this warm,  fluffy blanket! The perfect duo that always helps me relax and survive winter time.

2. Hot tea with honey and ginger.

 For me, good tea is much better than coffee.  There are so many kinds of tea on the market. You can even buy one with a chocolate flavour.  Moreover, If you are a happy owner of beautiful, designed kettle it will be utterly wonderful.

3. Scented candles.

Aromatic scents, adapted to the mood,  are indispensable in my house while the autumn and winter season is on. I have a few favorite smells that always improve my mood! Usually I reach for sweet scents interspersed with spicy note. I love them!

4. rocking chair.

The fulfillment of our childhood dreams.  Another small thing that makes me so happy. When I sit there with a cup of tea, a blanket and a great book  all the rest of the world doesn’t matter.

There are lots of things that can change your attitude and your mood. What you need to do is make your life easier with all these DIY tricks as home-made peelings,  face masks etc.  

Try to use black bananas that you probably hate ( I really do!) to make an absolutely fantastic brownie. Put 2 eggs, 2  previously smashed bananas, some flour, a cup of milk and a punch of cacao and bake it. It is extremely wet and heavenly good.

There are the times that I go crazy. Every day I get up, look at my clothes and there’s only one thing on my mind: What will I put on today?  If you don’t have money to spend on new sweater or blouse try to look for inspiration in Second Hand.  

You can find lots of them here in Poznan and I have to admit that they are excellent.  If you are lucky you will buy a brand new jumper for a few złoty. Some of them are really cute. 

Anyways, If you are bored with your wardrobe you should try it.  If you are crazy about the Christmas clothes like jumpers with Santa or reindeers you will be pleasantly surprised with the amount of them in that shop.
