1. I did not bring any lip balm and by day 2, my lips were cracking like mad and went red and swollen in no time. I bought it in Venice on day 3.
2. I brought moisturiser knowing that my skin will itch like mad in that kind of weather but was too lazy to apply. Ha, I ended up scratching my legs and stomach every single day because my skin was too dry and hence the itch. My once upon a time ahem beautiful legs are now very scarred. Yes, I asked for it.
3. I did not bring any face moisturiser - I don't even use any here - and my face was cracking/flaking too. Applying liquid foundation and powder made it worse and by day 5 I think, I stopped using face make up except for blusher and was happy for a week or so for being able to go natural. Well, kinda. Reality aka bad skin hits me once I head back.
4. We did not bring enough tooth paste and had to spend cannot-remember-how-much on it on day 3 in Venice. Brilliant right?
5. He didn't bring his shaver and again had to spend cannot-remember-how-much on it in Venice.
6. Nutella is everywhere in Paris and I was damn happy! I had two each day for my breakfast. Cheap thrill! I think it's because I liked it as a kid and my grandma refused to buy for me cos it's too 'heaty'.
7. I had the same breakfast in London for a good 5 days! Omelette, harsh brown, fried potato, orange juice, bread and baked beans. I'm such an adventurer when it comes to food.
