Or in my case, I have this Chinese throat syrup. It's basically called loquat syrup and it's like a honey texture where I will just eat it straight from the package. It soothes your throat so I'm saying, in case you have a cough on the plane because it's really dry up there. I hate to be that person who's coughing nonstop on the plane https://casinoslots-ie.com/free-spins-bonus.
So just in case. Another tip is to keep your phone charger with you at all times in your bag, and also get an external charger because it will save your life. Most airports and some airplanes will have outlets so that you can charge your phones so it's always nice if you can have your charger with you. I've been that person where I've seen an outlet and I'm like, "Dang it, my phone's out of battery but my charger's up there," or somewhere that's not on hand. My next tip is to always wear the biggest and the heaviest items of clothing with you on the plane, that way you don't have to pack your big and bulky items. For example: this time, I'm taking this giant blanket scarf which is huge and takes up a lot of space, but it's going to be my blanket on the airplane. And I'm also going to take my big coat with me as well. If you're a frequent traveler and you always end up with extra coins and extra money from all the different places you've traveled to, make sure you save them and organize them into pouches. I've saved these euros and pounds from my last trip to Europe, and I just keep them organized separately. I have all my different currencies in different little pouches so that whenever I go back to that place, then I can just bring that currency back. My last tip is: it's always good to bring an empty water bottle with you in your carry on so you can refill it at the airport or on the airplane because it's really dehydrating to fly. Sometimes I'll forget to bring an empty water bottle so I'll just buy a water in the airport after security and everything because I need to have a bottle of water while I'm on the plane because the water that they give is just never enough. So I like to have my own stash, my own thing of water. Alright, I hope you liked today's tips on how to pack for travel. I've actually made a packing checklist that you can download. The link is below. Just to help you out and just for me to use every time I travel because it's annoying to make a new list each and every time, so this is going to save you a lot of time. So I'm also going to make another video where I'm sharing my travel camera gear, my camera gear for travel, vlogging, and taking Instagram photos. So if you want to watch that, the link is below and in the upper-right corner. I'll see you next time. Bye!

My next tip is to save up all your sample-sized products or travel-sized products for when you travel. So I don't usually use these little samples on the regular. I just bring them because they're tiny and I get to try new products, and why not?
I have a couple primers here and these are some oils for my face that are sample-sized of my favorite products. My next tip is to use these toothbrush covers to bring your favorite toothbrush with you. I don't like to use travel toothbrushes because they're not good quality. These covers, I got from Daiso. They come in a pack of six or eight. I love them. It's just really hygienic, I think. And I really like it. My next tip is kind of obvious but I know not everyone does this. Honestly, guys, put your shoes in a plastic bag when you travel so that the germs and the dirt don't get everywhere else in your luggage. I also like to bring a couple extra plastic bags to put all my dirty clothes in after I wear them. The way I do it is: I fold them up into little triangles. But when I'm in the hotel or AirBNB, when I have dirty clothes, I will put them on top of the plastic bag, kind of let them air out or a little bit. And then, when I'm ready to pack everything, I'll put everything in the plastic bag, seal it up, and then go, because I feel like, if you immediately put it in the plastic while you're still staying in a room, it just gets musty…musky? What's that word? It will just smell more if you seal it up and leave it there without letting it air out a little bit. That's just how I'm thinking in my head. Another tip I have when traveling is to scatter your cash throughout your bags because you don't want to keep all your money in one place, because what if you get pick-pocketed? Or something gets stolen? You just want to have some backup. So the way I do it is I always hide some cash in different pouches and different areas just in case. You never know. Okay, moving onto my backpack. My next tip is to make sure, if you want to get something while you're on the plane, to put it in your purse or in the backpack that you will have right next to you. Don't put things in your carry on luggage that will go in the overhead bin because if you want to get something, it's really annoying to ask people to help you open it and whatever. So if I need to do something–for example: I'm planning to work and edit on the plane, so I brought my laptop in my backpack with me so that I could just have that easy access. My next tip is: make sure you have a name tag on all your bags just because you don't know what's going to happen. What if your bag gets lost? Even if it's a carry on, you never know. So I think it's always safe to have your name, your number, your email address, whatever on your bags. Something I'm going to try this time because I've seen other people do it is to bring a face mask with me on the airplane so I can do some inflight skincare because it gets really dry up there. I think this will be really fun. I'm actually looking forward to doing this. Another thing I'd recommend is to bring some cough drops with you. Hi everyone. Welcome back to Lavendaire. Today I wanted to share my best tips for packing for travel, specifically packing for a carry on and your backpack, whatever you're going to bring on the plane with you. I normally only like to pack a carry on for my trips.
This is going to be a 10-day trip throughout London and Amsterdam, and last time I went on a two-week trip in Europe, I also packed a carry on as well. If you haven't seen my previous packing videos, you can check it out here and here, or you can click the card in the upper-right corner to watch those videos. But today I'm just gonna go into specifics on my method of packing. My first tip is definitely: fold things vertically, the Konmari way. I have a lot of videos on how to fold the Konmari way. If you want to check those out, they're also linked below. But basically, fold them to the height of your suitcase so that when you put your clothes in, everything will fit right here to the rim and you can see all of your clothes at a glance. This is a game-changer for when you're traveling and living out of a suitcase. You don't want to take things out. I always keep everything in my suitcase. I only unpack what I need to for that day. So this is my closet. This is what the closet looks like, and I just like being able to choose my outfits this way because I could see mostly everything. I did make an exception this time. Some things I packed horizontally because they're just so flimsy, it just didn't work as well vertically. But yeah, for the flimsy leggings and random stuff, I will pack normally. But for my main outfits, I will pack vertically. Tip #2: Have pouches for everything! I am a pouch girl…that sounds weird. Is that weird? I literally love to have pouches to hold everything. I like to stay organized and categorize everything. So this is my pouch for socks and underwear. I also fold them vertically like this. I just put my mirror because I didn't want it to break. But yeah, I have underwear here and socks here. And I always pack extra because you never know. I have a pouch for makeup. A pouch for random tech accessories. There's chargers, adaptors, and stuff in here. And then I have my toiletry pouch. Also, in my backpack, I have this pouch that I love where I keep my iPad, my hard drive. And check this out: I have a face mask that I'm going to wear in the airplane. So pouches for everything, helps you stay super organized and I just can't do it any other way. My next tip is to transfer all of your large products into smaller containers. I always like to save my little bottles from skincare or beauty products because I know I'm going to use them again. These are from previous skincare things that I've used up. I've transferred my May Coop essence, which is this big one, into this small one here. And then here, because I think my foundation's a little too big, I transferred my foundation into this smaller container. So I think it's such a game-changer. Plus, I got to mix another foundation in here so that it would better match my color. Ladies and Gentlemen hello everyone! It's half past midnight I'm in bed and I'm playing at STARVEGAS and it gave me the BOOKS for 9 times at 25 cents I was playing just to get to sleep but the Books, 9 times!...

Elih, Turkey has established its own set of laws that seek to control and dominate the population, in the name of Islamic law. This does, of course, affect women’s lives most of all, as the regime of the RTK (the ‘Morality Police’) targets women in an attempt to keep them docile and subservient.
Recai Osman is the heir of a billionaire who lacks direction in his own life. Then, the unthinkable happens and he is forced to wander in the desert, alone and helpless until a Jewish father and daughter take him in to help him recover from injuries he has sustained and has no memory of receiving. While in Recai is in their care, the RTK brutally attacks Rebekah, the daughter, and Recai is left to pick up the pieces of his newly crumbled and torn reality. After years wandering the desert in search of a new life, Recai is drawn back to the life he abruptly left years before. He returns with a new consciousness and understanding of the brutality and oppression of the ruling class of Elih. It is then that he discovers that he must fight against the system in superhero fashion by protecting the women who live there. While carrying out his vigilantism, he inadvertently draws more people into his plan of protecting those who need it. Soon, there is a complex network that is aiding him and encouraging his efforts. Tyler gives us a triumph in feminist literature, while supplying a believable ‘superhero’. Recai possesses no overt unearthly powers, but instead relies on his faith in knowing of what is right and wrong. In reality, he is just a man standing up for what he believes in, within the confines of the predetermined regime. The humanity which is displayed throughout the story is what makes it a success. Tyler is also not apt to shy away from graphically violent scenes to save those who wish to hide from the realities she discusses in the story. While the graphic scenes are not what one may want to read and have so forcefully pushed in front of them, they are necessary to be delivered in such a manner in order to keep us from hiding from the brutal truths in the lives of her characters. Shadow on the Wall is a brilliant work, that inspired me to write my essay for you. Tyler masterfully weaves complex issues of violence against women, religious oppression, and vigilantism into a cohesive, straight-forward look at the issues. Every one of the many characters is equally important within the story, and their position is easy to sympathize with on some level- even if their actions are not. This is a work that shows the extremes to which the ruling class will go to keep their positions solidified, as well as the ability to control the population with fear, domination, and violence. This is a success in what is sure to be an engaging new series from a powerful new voice. Slow Turning
William D. Monroe Jr. ISBN: 978-1453774830 CreateSpace Copyright © August 2010 $14.95 Paperback 95 Pages Poetry is hard to review. It’s very personal, and sometimes a poet likes to hide secrets or special meanings in their verse. They play on words and patterns and rhyming schemes. In the end, interpretation is often left up to the reader although the poet has often exposed a soft inner piece of themselves through their expression. That is certainly the case with Mr. Monroe’s collection of songs and poems called Slow Turning. Monroe was sexually abused as a child and obviously grew up in emotional turmoil. Professional guidance and strong faith in God brought him out of this turmoil and has helped him to lead an emotionally stable adult life. As he says in the dedication of this book, his “Slow Turning” is complete. At first, one might find some of the subject matter in this book disturbing – just as disturbing as those who prey on children. Monroe uses verse as a healer though. Yes, exposing the truth all the while but his intention is not to shock. Only to speak truth. He follows each poem or song with a brief explanation on where the poem came from. These asides are often extremely brief, somewhat of an after thought that you’d expect Monroe to say out loud after reading you the poem. Some of the songs are even followed by guitar chords. I have to admit that I enjoyed the poems that didn’t rhyme more so than the ones that did. The rhyming couplets are often trite and predictable. For example: I stand alone this season, Not knowing where or when. I’ll find another reason To feel new love begin. Sounds a tad bit sing songy, and since some of the content is meant to be sung you could almost put every verse to music. But then Monroe gives us verse like this: I once had a vision but did not believe That visions could ever come true. My confidence wavered with each step I took, And I carried doubt through my youth. While “true” and “youth” do rhyme a bit, it’s not as predictable here and so the verse has a bit more depth to it. Overall, I was well pleased with Monroe’s collection. It’s obvious that he has put his talent to good use. He has used his words as a healer for himself and hopes now to reach out to others like him. At 95 pages, this is a quick read – with the poems and songs on the left hand page and Monroe’s afterthought or brief explanation on the right side. For those who have been victims of sexual abuse, or if you know someone who has, Monroe’s book may provide hope. And for those who might just enjoy simple poetry with a motivational meaning behind it, give Slow Turning a chance. #5 Self-Publishing includes self-promotion. Ummm, yep. Search the web and whore yourself out. It's what the competition is doing. Just don’t be a snob. Everyone has written a book these days so if you are attacking forums with “Read my book!” you are probably going to get ignored. You need to get reviews, plain and simple. Contact book bloggers. Start a twitter account. Start a Facebook page or blog for your book. First and foremost, get people to read your book and help you spread the word on the web. If you do this, #6 on the list will indeed happen naturally.
#7 A literary agent isn’t necessary. I thought this was a bit Self-Publishing 101. That’s why it’s called self-publishing, and it's kind of a given. Am I wrong? #8 is important. Yes, you can win awards. Just know a lot of self-publishing awards go to more than one book at a time. So, know the fine lines before you start bragging that your book was THE winner. Also, don’t be afraid to change your book cover and put a badge on the cover showing what award you won. #9 Know your audience comes hand in hand with #1 and #2 which I’ve already discussed. If you pick a niche and know your competition, then you will certainly get to know your audience. And by doing #10, if you do it right then you will get to know your audience as well. Go one step further though and get to know them personally. Create an e-mailing list and send out email blasts. Know your fans on Facebook. In other words, get to know what they are reading when they aren’t reading you. This will show you your competition and may help you develop new marketing leads. Overall, this is a great list for beginners! Lots of information that kind of goes hand-in-hand though but some important bullet points that even seasoned self-publishers could use a refresher course in. |
