I’m back!

| jodi - a brash attitude

Hello, hello!

I’m back from my mini vacation, and the blog will return to its regular content on Friday. I was in Nova Scotia with the Mister to visit my parents, and attend my cousin’s wedding.

Where my parents live, there are beautiful trails and lots of deer – we came upon two in someone’s yard snacking on the trees and shrubs. These were taken from across the road so not as to scare them away:

Here’s a panoramic shot from the top of the lighthouse at Masstown Market:

I had planned on keeping up with all of your blogs – reading and commenting, but failed at this, so I’ve loads to catch up on.

Have a beautiful day!

What’s In My Carry-On?

| jodi - a brash attitude

Hello, hello!

By the time you read this, I will be on vacation! This will be my last post until I return the following week. I’m hoping to be able to reply to comments and keep up with all of you while travelling.

I always enjoy seeing what people have in their purses or carry-on bags, so I thought I would show you what I’m bringing in my carry-on…

First off – a little water-resistant cross-body bag / purse. This is where I’ll be keeping my plane ticket, passport and wallet.

Up next, my electronics – my kindle and Ipad, with chargers and voltage adapter plug.

What's in my carry on?

A small makeup bag with non-liquid essential products for freshening up after flying. All my other makeup will be packed in my checked baggage.

My bag with essential liquid / gel / cream products:

What's in my carry on?

Not pictured – a change of clothes, a sweater and pair of socks (in case the plane is cold), a pair of flip flops, a pen, and a small notebook.

What are your flight essentials? What do you put in your carry on bag?

Thanks for reading and have a beautiful day!

 

 

 

Weekend Away Makeup Bag

| jodi - a brash attitude

Hello, hello!

I just thought that I would show you what I’ll be bringing with me makeup-wise for my little weekend away in Toronto for the Ipsy Generation Beauty show. I’m trying to travel as light as possible by bringing only a backpack (with a foldable bag inside in case of shopping, of course).

I chose one of my makeup bags with the hope that I would be able to fit everything into it. And my brush roll case for my makeup brushes. I picked the makeup that I wanted to bring, photographed it, and then attempted to fit it all into my makeup bag at the very end.

*Not pictured is my brush roll (and brushes). I photographed them yesterday, but the photos have mysteriously disappeared, or got lost in the transfer from my phone to my Macbook. *

There isn’t going to be a post on Friday as I’ll be on the train to Toronto in the early morning hours for the Ipsy Generation Beauty show. I’ll be back on Monday to tell you all about it! Have a great weekend!

Thanks for reading and have a beautiful day! ❤
