A Digital Camera

Travelling to a foreign country or destination certainly calls for the capturing of every memorable moment possible. Whether you are with your workmates on business trips or loved ones on a romantic getaway, keep a camera handy to snap away for memories of life’s little adventures, whenever you feel like it

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lip Balm and Moisturizer

Chapped lips and dried skin, just what every woman DO NOT need during her vacation. With your skin exposed to unpredictable weather conditions during your globetrotting exploits, make sure you pop a tube of lip balm and a travel-size moisturizer of your choice in your handbag. Use them as and when you feel the weather taking a toll on your previous skin.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An Apple

No, not the fruit! Bring along a member of the Apple family for company when you travel alone. Keep in touch with loved ones and friends via social networking sites like facebook and twitter while you are away via the MacBook, iPAd or iPhone. Now you do not have to miss out on important family functions while on the road, simply hit the webcam button and provide a virtual presence. (Unfortunately, gifts still need to be sent through good, old snail mail)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Map

Let’s face it! Most of us ladies are known for our impeccable sense of style, not directions. Available online and usually at no cost, there’s no excuse now not to have one in your handbag every time you step out of your room. Who says only men don’t like asking for directions?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An Extra Bag

While on your travels, shopping for souvenirs and other knick knacks becomes a prerogative. So, always carry along an extra bag, preferably a foldable one that you can store in your luggage so you won’t have to give up a great buy just because your bags are filled!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An Umbrella

Always be prepared for rainy days, especially with climate shifts making weather extremely unpredictable these days. Carrying an umbrella in your handbag will put your mind at ease and leave your thoughts for more sightseeing and shopping. What’s more, it keeps you dry!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leave-in Conditioner

It is true that the change in atmosphere will expose your hair to UV rays, pollution, dust and other pollutants. Not only do leave-in conditioners help tame flyaway hair, it also keeps your hair protected, moisturized, healthy and shiny at all times. So, pack one or more, and worry about bad hair days no more!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make-up

It is important to travel light, so do not add unnecessary weight to your luggage by bringing every single item in your make-up pouch that you own because you can’t decide on the ones that you’ll need. Go for the natural and fresh look by packing a set of make-up in nude shades and you are all set to face the world.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walking Shoes

Living in Singapore, we are not used to walking REAL long distances. Bring along a pair of comfy walking shoes on your next trip to keep your feet happy and comfortable. No blisters and definitely no pain to put a damper on your high spirits!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LBD

Away from the luxury of your oversized and bulging wardrobe, you need to choose carefully just what goes into your luggage. Whether the business dinner with associates you don’t care for or that cute hottie whom you met on the plane, you won’t go wrong with the Little Black Dress (LBD).
