What's in my travel bag?

Well as you guys may or may not know since being on summer break I have been doing a bit of traveling! This means deciding what are my absolute needs while in the airport or on the plane. 

Inside my travel bag is;

Urbanears headphones, I have just recently purchased these after eyeing them for awhile. For Christmas I had gotten other ones but the didn't fold up and weren't very easy for traveling. The only thing keeping me from getting these was they're $60 and I didn't have that lying around. But ill give you a cheeky secret go on amazon if you want them they're only $30 there!

Ipad, I got my ipad as a gift when I moved to Manhattan my parents thought it would be much easier for me to carry that around with online textbooks, which it is! My ipad has become my go to for just about everything except blogging and writing papers. It's great to have on the plane because I have it stocked with music, books on my kindle app, along with books on audible.

Makeup bag, which doesn't actually have any makeup in it. Inside the b&w bag is basically my go to emergency kit. I also carry this around in my large handbags. It has lip-balm, band aids, hand wipes, hand sanitizer,  girly products hair ties and bobby pins. 

Chocolate Roasted almonds, I don't know about anyone else but I get constantly hungry whilst traveling. I brought almonds with me on the plane because they aren't completely unhealthy and they are super easy to travel with because its resealable.

Wallet, because I was only going to be carrying a small bag with me while I was away I only brought a small wallet pouch. But you can't get very far into the airport without some money and your ID.

Iphone, lets be real do we go anywhere without our phones? But once again my phone is where most of my music is so when I'm not on my ipad I'm always plugged into that.

A book, in case my electronics die or if I just feel like reading from actual paper.

Powerbank charger, I have started to carry a portable charger with me almost all the time because I know my phone battery never makes it through anything.

Iphone/Ipad charger, for when you can actually find an outlet in the airport.

& lastly 

A small notebook in case I get some new blog ideas or I just think of anything I need to write down (:

The windy city

After saying in a past post how interested I am in traveling to so many different places and cities I have just gotten back from Chicago! 

Whilst in Chicago I became a major tourist so I am very sorry to every tourist I basically shove aside in New York I understand it is a little overwhelming having no idea where anything is.

We stayed a few blocks away from Navy Pier which made one of the best things the view from out our hotel window which looked over the river. The first day we went out we took the hot long terrible walk to the Shedd Aquarium, I've been to plenty aquariums before but they had beluga whales so in short I was VERY excited and there is a possibility we all stood in front of the tank singing baby beluga. The next few days we went to the skydeck (where you can see about 4 different states), we took a lake tour, hung out on the pier and OF COURSE I went shopping because whats a trip without some shopping! 

On the last full day we were there we finally went to millennium park where the bean? I'm not actually sure if that is what its called but I waited the entire trip to visit it. 

What I wore to millennium park 

Striped crop top - H&M

Black high waisted shorts - Urban Outfitters

Flannel - Thrifted

White high top converse

Sunglasses - Warby Parker 

Bag - Forever 21 

As much as I enjoyed Chicago it made me appreciate New York even more. I have such a love/hate relationship with it but its my city and I think it'll always come out being my favorite. There were so many things different about Chicago such as  the pace being slower and I found finding my way around much more difficult. I would like to go back in the future with someone from there that knows all the areas that someone just visiting would never think to go to or wouldn't be able to find. You always enjoy places like that the most because they aren't aimed to please people who are just there on vacation. If your from there let me come visit you!
