What's in my Travel Backpack?





Sunglasses- Forever New 
Card holder- Accessorize 
Hair Brush- some indie Indian brand I forget the name of. 


My Moleskine journal to write Travel Diaries in and my red little wallet from Accessorize. 



My camera bag and little owl coin purse to hold extra memory cards and extra camera battery. Both from Accessorize. 


Tissues for hot, hot, hot Rajasthan. 
A phone sock from Accessorize. 
Hand sanitiser from Bath and Body Works- love this ginger mint scent. It smells amazing! 


The book I was reading on holiday. 


Gum of choice. 
Fox necklace- Accessorize
Fox ring- Forever 21 


Make-up I carried along for sight-seeing: Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder to keep oiliness at bay. 
L'Occitaine roller ball perfume in Rose.
MAC lipstick in Hug Me- a nice nude. 
Burt's Bees lip balm in Mango. Yum! 


And a little cuddly friend to keep my company. 

When I set out on holiday I always reach for a backpack. It fits a ton of stuff. Keeps the load off my hands. And it gives me the freedom to click a bazillion pictures and my backpack has room for little souvenirs I might buy...always buy! 

For my holiday in Jodhpur+ Bikaner, I took my new Forever 21 backpack- which is softer than you can imagine! I filled it up with things I need on a daily basis.

Book Review: The Room on the Roof by Ruskin Bond.

Some snippets of the stunning art inside the book!  Book: The Room on the Roof Author: Ruskin Bond Illustrator: Ahlawat Gunjan Pages: 171 Read On: Hardback How Long It Took Me To Read: 3 days or so. Plot Summary:   Rusty, a sixteen-year-old Anglo-Indian boy, is orphaned and has to live with his English guardian in the claustrophobic European part in Dehra Dun. Unhappy with the strict ways of his guardian, Rusty runs away from home to live with his Indian friends. Plunging for the first time into the dream-bright world of the bazaar, Hindu festivals and other aspects of Indian life, Rusty is enchanted … and is lost forever to the prim proprieties of the European community.  General Thoughts: This book is super special. Not only this 60th anniversary edition an absolute beauty. This is also a signed copy I picked up from Mussoorie when I was in Landour earlier in the year. This is perhaps one of Ruskin Bond's mo...
