My bum and seat bones are not very well padded so sitting hurts them and then my back. So years ago I started investing in cushions for cars, for travel and for comfort. This is my fave cushion for travelling. It is a blow up version so you control how much cushioning you need. I whip it out whenever I see a seat. Is packs down super easily into my bag.

I want to be the brand face of Oofos because OMG what a difference. For years I was told stable, solid shoes would help but my feet fascia is so sensitive I actually need comfort and space. These Oofos were amazing because I walked around the whole of Lisbon and my feet were cushioned. I also have sandals and saving up to get slippers!

I am super light sensitive and even more so after the laser eye operations so I need sunglasses all the time. The flip up ones I use come in handy on dry air planes as I wear my glasses and when the plane has the sun streaming in the windows, I find it so useful to wear them, slide the shade closed and then hang out with my calming music.

I wear hats a lot, even indoors, as they keep my eyes shaded and my skin covered from the sun as I get heat spots and hives a lot from the sunlight. On holiday I love wide brimmed hats but I do keep a bit of ribbon with me to tie it to my head when it gets windy!

A paper hat is great as it folds well and doesn't weigh much - handy for when it is a few days trip!

I have super loosey goosey thumbs which I have to strap up and keep supported especially when I travel because of course I manage to lift, pull or move something thinking I will be fine and then whoops, I can't use my hands for days. So instead I strap them up. I have small hands so supports have to work for my child like hands!
