Traveling out of the country is such an exciting experience! The thrill of visiting areas you have only researched, trying foods you have never tasted before, and meeting new friends. I had the opportunity to travel to Israel back in December and met my family there for the first time.
The trip went well, but I had to get through some minor woes first....
#1-One of my bags did not reach my final destination to Israel (from the U.S.) This bag had some clothes in it and ALL OF MY SHOES!! Ahhhh :O! That meant I only had the pair I was wearing (brown pair of boots) for 2 weeks in the Middle East!
#2-The electrical system is different there and on the second day my blow dryer blew.
#3-Along with my shoes, most of my makeup was in the lost luggage. I only had 1 eye color, foundation, blush, and chapstick.
What did I do to solve these problems?
#1-I went shopping over the first couple days and bought: 1 pair of black tights, a necklace, one pair of black wedged shoes, 2 dresses, and 1 expensive shirt!
*Through my pictures you will see how I switched up my outfits as much as possible with the 2 pairs of shoes!
#2-I would plan out my days by showering early enough to let my hair air dry and then either curl it or straighten it. Some days, if my hair cooperated, I would let it stay air dried.
#3-For makeup, I bought-mascara, 1 eye color, and a mauve color lipgloss. I switched up my makeup as much as I possibly could. Every other day I would switch my eye color with the brown I had and the silvery purple I bought in Israel.
Here are some outfits I wore throughout the trip:
