A sort of spin-off my usual What’s in my Bag post because I haven’t packed yet. I’m leaving on Friday, for a trip that I’ve been looking forward to since the start of the year. I really don’t know how to pack for this destination, so I’m sticking with some tried and tested stuff, as well as a new addition to my packing list.<\/p>\n
Headware<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s one of those stretchy, tubes of fabric that you wear mostly on your head, but if you’re built like Olive Oyl, you can probably wear it as a tube top or a mini skirt. The wonderful people at Headware<\/a> sent me a couple to try out, and I’ve taken a liking to it. It keeps sweat from dripping to my eyes and camera when I’m taking pictures and it keeps my hair from flying around the place when it’s very windy (or when I’m on a boat). There are different ways to wear it<\/a>, but if you’re creative enough, you can use it as a makeshift burka for your doll. Headware is available in R.O.X. outlets (and a whole bunch of other stores listed here<\/a>) and retails for Php 240 – Php 390. You can get a chance to win a 3-pack Headware by liking the Headware Facebook page<\/a> (complete mechanics here<\/a>). You can also try your chances at a contest I’ll be having at the end of the week. Watch out for it!<\/p>\n Water resistant jacket<\/strong><\/p>\n As cute as those cotton jackets are, they only fight against the cold. They’re more of a nuisance when you get caught in the rain because they absorb water. That’s what I loved about my Columbia Waypoint Softshell jacket<\/a>. It keeps me warm and it keeps me dry. So when I (stupidly) lost it last March, I made sure to find a replacement before the upcoming trip. Pictured above is the Cliffhanger Softshell jacket, which is actually bulkier than my old one but it totally wins because it’s purple. I’m shallow like that.<\/p>\n Comfortable shoes<\/strong><\/p>\n
