The wedding is done and dusted, you are officially a wife to the partner of your dreams. Right as you think you can relax and head off on your honeymoon, you see your empty suitcase staring at you, waiting to be packed, waiting for an adventure, and waiting for you.
You have incurred enough stress in the last few months, so Homebodii is here to make that last post wedding chore less stressful. We will help you pack smart, light and organised. Together we can fill that suitcase and finally relax.
We don't need to list of the regular holiday essentials, but instead, we will suggest the honeymoon must-haves to make your trip as husband and wife that extra bit enjoyable and stress-free.
Journal
Not only do we want your packing to be organised, but also your honeymoon. So, a journal is a must have. Whilst you may end up using it to practice your new signature, a journal is perfect to mark down dates and times for tours and any other vital information.
Ultra-Hydrating Lip Balm
Whilst we would like to blame too much kissing for your chapped lips, sudden change of weather can also be the main culprit. We can agree that your favourite red lipstick which makes your feel like Marilyn Monroe never looks as amazing when your lips are chapped. This is why an ultra-hydrating lip balm is an essential for your honeymoon. We want those lips to have the perfect pout for photos and a delicate kiss for your partner.
You want to remind your partner why they married you. Not only for the fact that you look amazing when you’re dressed up, but because you look even better dressed down. The Homebodii Tatiana Lace Bodysuit will have you feeling feminine and beautiful. This jaw dropping ensemble is sure to impress. We also suggest you pair it with your signature fragrance from your wedding day, as there is nothing wrong with a bit of reminiscing.
Packing Cubes
We can agree that there is nothing more satisfying than organisation. As it is commonly said, “messy house, messy mind”. The same theory applies to your 5-star hotel room. So, let's avoid that clutter by starting at the main culprit of the cause, your suitcase. Packing cubes are designed for situations like these as they’re ultra-lightweight zippered bags that come in various shapes and sizes to organise all your essentials. Your suitcase will go from a complicated level of Tetris to an easy level after this simple necessity. Another added bonus of packing cubes is that they can minimise clothing wrinkles by having your garments tightly packed, and we can agree no one wants to spend their honeymoon ironing. Even better news, packing cubes can even be used post-honeymoon to organise items around your house.
Polaroid Camera
We know what you’re thinking, why do you need a polaroid camera when your Smart Phone is already 12 megapixels and can most-likely do fancy panoramas and face detection? Well, don’t you just love looking through your parents’ old Polaroid's, where the photos are raw, unplanned and the film is so sparingly used for only the best moments? We want you to take a step back from technology and go old school. Your Polaroid pictures aren't going to accidentally get deleted, instead, they can be pasted into the journal where you practised your signature and jotted your first memories as newlyweds. Not to mention, Polaroid's are totally back in, so the cameras are retailed at an appealing and affordable price.
Entertainment
Whilst you may have plenty of activities booked whilst you're away, we are sure there is time where you can simply do nothing. After you run your steamy, hot bath to unwind for the day or lay out your towel to soak up the beautiful sun, we can guarantee within twenty minutes of nothing you will be looking around for something to do. This is when we suggest you stay on the old-school band waggon, and steer away from smart-phone applications and instead do a traditional crossword, read a book, or even play games with a deck of cards. Firstly, because it doesn't matter if they're dropped into the bath, and secondly, it’ll give your mind that break it needs from social media streams and the technology screens.
There we have it, your suitcase is packed and ready to be padlocked and rolled away towards your first holiday as newlyweds. We at Homebodii hope you have an amazing time and wish you all the best in your marriage.
