Holiday packing tips
Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday.
1. Write a list
Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase.
Or for complete ease, try Google's AI app - Gemini - which will create a list for you and help you not over pack.
2. Involve your kids
Jemma said: 'My girls are getting older, they're 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say 'this is what you need' and they follow the list.
'And then I give them a rucksack each - and say to them 'you can have whatever you want in there as long as it's not liquid', and they can take that on the plane. And that's their 'home away from home' items.'
3. Try a hack or two
She said: "I think they all work, but for different reasons - and you've just got to pick the right one for your trip.
"Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you're trying to get a lot of items into your case, it's a space saver.
'Packing cubes are great - for example, I'm going on holiday with my three kids and we're all using the same suitcase for our clothes.
"These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked.
"I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we've arrived."
4. Decant beauty products
Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets - which are much lighter and smaller.
Or, if you'll be popping to the shops when you're abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive.
5. Get organised before you come home
Jemma said: 'When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes.
'Also pack it in some form of order - so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person.
"Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don't leave it."
And it's clear that Facebook users were left beaming with the high-street find, as Catherine's post has quickly racked up 121 likes and 72 comments.
One person said: 'I got one of them for my son and he loved it.'
I want these for the kids!
Facebook user
Another added: 'That looks good.'
Meanwhile, a third tagged a friend and commented: 'If you see this, let me know.'
Not only this, but one parent mentioned a loved one and beamed: 'I want these for the kids!'

At least one dead as wildfires spread across Europe with Mount Vesuvius closed in Italy & French vineyards turned to ash
AT LEAST one person has died as terrifying wildfires sweep across Greece and spread across Europe. Up to 16,000 acres of land has been decimated in the Keratea region, south of Athens, in the latest fires ripping through the Mediterranean. 10 Flames and smoke rise from burning trees while firefighters continue their efforts to extinguish the fires near the Komotini, Greece Credit: Getty 10 A terrifying fire has ripped along the eastern slope of Mount Vesuvius, within the National Park Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 10 In Portugal, people have been seen trying to extinguish the flames of a burning patch of grass during a forest fire in Sao Pedro e Santa Maria, Trancoso Credit: EPA 10 Much of southern France's vineyards were left scorched alongside homes Credit: AFP An elderly man was found dead inside his bed by firefighters who have been tirelessly battling against the numerous blazes. This is now the third consecutive day of wildfires in the region, according to the National Observatory in Athens. They have warned high winds have been fanning the flames will persist until at least Monday. More than 260 firefighters with nearly 80 fire engines along with 12 aircraft were deployed near Keratea. read more in wildfires DEADLY INFERNO At least 17 killed in Turkey wildfires as thousands flee their homes Dimitris Loukas, mayor of the city of nearby Lavrio, said the Keratea fire destroyed dozens of homes, agriculture and forest land. Over in Italy, brave firefighters tackled a wildfire which was quickly heading towards Mount Vesuvius National Park. Officials ordered all the hiking routes up the volcano near Naples were immediately closed to tourists as a precaution. Billowing clouds of smoke could be seen from the Pompeii archeological site. The national fire service said 12 teams have been on the ground alongside six Canadair planes to fight the blaze since August 8. Officials have voiced concerns over the fires heading towards Mount Vesuvius due to its location. France fires scorch area 'larger than Paris' as 'unprecedented' blaze kills 1 and rips through idyllic villages Italo Giulivo, head of the region's civil protection department, said: "The firefighting efforts are particularly delicate due to both the weather conditions -- high temperatures and wind -- and the pine needles, which contribute to the spread of the flames." Italy's biggest agricultural association Coldiretti added that the fires were "an enormous disaster" for vineyards and farms. The local prosecutors' office has opened an investigation into the cause of the fire. France was also hit with soaring flames over the weekend. Around 1,400 firefighters were deployed Saturday in the southern Aude region to prevent the country's largest wildfire in decades from reemerging. Locals have been slowly returning to their homes since Thursday after 62 square miles of land was scorched across the week. Aude prefect Christian Pouget announced the worst hit areas were the popular vineyards in the area. Pictures show the devastating aftermath with the wineries reduced to piles of ash. 10 A firefighting helicopter sprays water over a burnt area following a wildfire in Palaia Fokaia, Greece Credit: AFP 10 Dozens of blazes have erupted in Greece Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 10 A plane drops water over a fire that broke in Galicia, northwestern Spain Credit: EPA And with Monday forecast to be the "hottest day nationwide", according to national weather service Meteo France, further disruptions are expected. In Portugal, people have been seen trying to extinguish the flames of a burning patch of grass during a forest fire in Sao Pedro e Santa Maria, Trancoso. The fire in Trancoso caused officials to mobilise eight helicopters and more than 300 firefighters. The most deadly of the European fires have come from Turkey. At least 17 people have been killed in the apocalyptic wildfires as record-breaking 50C heat and howling winds fuel devastation across the eastern Mediterranean. The infernos have forced more than 3,500 residents to flee their homes, with vast swathes of forest reduced to ash. 10 Over in Italy, brave firefighters tackled a wildfire which was quickly heading towards Mount Vesuvius National Park Credit: AFP 10 A fire escalates during the wildfires in Anavyssos, Greece Credit: Shutterstock Editorial

I'm a beauty expert, why you should NEVER wax before holidays – it can leave your skin looking worse & you'll be in pain
While a last minute wax might seem like a good idea it can play havoc with your skin HAIR THIS I'm a beauty expert, why you should NEVER wax before holidays – it can leave your skin looking worse & you'll be in pain A HAIR removal specialist has warned travelers not to get a wax immediately before boarding a flight, as it could lead to painful skin problems that might spoil the start of a holiday. Timca Pruijt, hair removal expert from Laser Hair Removalo, says the conditions inside aircraft cabins can worsen post-wax skin irritation, causing redness, increased sensitivity and potential infection risks. 1 An expert has revealed why you should avoid a bikini wax before holidays Credit: Getty She noted that many people book last-minute beauty treatments just before flying abroad, without considering how the aircraft environment might affect freshly waxed skin. Cabin air is extra dry 'To avoid condensation, cabin humidity is reduced dramatically to anywhere between 10% and 20%, according to the Federal Aviation Administration's latest Aviation Weather Handbook. "This is much lower than what your skin is used to, which is ideally between 30% and 50%, based on guidance from the US Environmental Protection Agency,' Pruijt explains. 'We can easily feel our lips chapping, our nose drying and our eyes getting itchy, but we rarely remember our skin is suffering too.' She explains that newly waxed skin will have its protective hair layer removed, and tiny pores are left open and exposed. 'After waxing, your skin needs time to recover and close those open pores. The ultra-dry cabin air draws moisture from your skin at the worst possible time – right when it needs hydration to heal properly,' she adds. 'People often forget that waxing is not just hair removal; it is quite traumatic for the skin. You are pulling hair from the root and removing a thin layer of skin cells in the process,' she says. Pruijt also points out that the stress of travelling, along with changes in temperature between air-conditioned airports, hot tarmacs and cool cabins, puts additional strain on your skin's ability to recover. Your Skin Needs At Least 48 Hours to Heal According to Pruijt, sitting in a confined space for hours with compromised skin creates ideal conditions for bacteria to multiply, potentially leading to spots, rashes, or even infections. For holidaymakers who still want to be hair-free on arrival, she recommends planning beauty treatments carefully. I'm a bikini waxer - stop being embarrassed about being hairy & no, I don't care if you've got lumps or bumps down there 'Preparation is the only way you can avoid complications from waxing. This means booking your appointments well ahead and applying moisturizers before leaving the house for the airport.' 'Get your waxing done at least 48 hours before your flight. This gives your skin adequate time to recover and those open pores to close,' she advises. She also suggests applying a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer before the flight to create a protective barrier. Airports can be bacteria breeding ground for freshly waxed skin 'Our hands contact multiple surfaces in airports, planes, taxis, buses, and cafes. We then inevitably touch our skin with those hands, breeding with bacteria. "You can use hand sanitizer generously and often, but bacteria are on surfaces you might sit on or accidentally touch. 'While you cannot exactly cover a waxed upper lip or brow, you could swap shorts for loose trousers and tank tops for airy, long-sleeved shirts to give your fragile skin an extra layer of protection from unsanitary surfaces and your own contaminated hands.' The expert noted that wearing loose, comfortable clothing on the flight is essential if you have recently had a wax, particularly for sensitive areas. 'Tight clothing creates friction and traps heat and moisture, which can lead to irritation or folliculitis, when your hair follicles become inflamed,' she explains. 'Opt for cotton for avoid sweating and maximize your skin's ability to breathe.' Last-minute waxing can cause rashes If you are used to waxing as your preferred hair removal method, you may be reluctant to consider alternatives or combinations thereof. 'Many travelers now opt for a waxing appointment a few days before their flight and pack a small razor for touch-ups if needed during their holiday,' she says. 'If you travel often or want longer-lasting results, treatments like laser hair removal might be worth considering. Unlike waxing, once a course of laser treatments is complete, there is no need to worry about last-minute hair removal before flights. How to prepare for a bikini wax IF you're thinking of booking a bikini wax, here's how you can prepare. Choose the Right Time: Schedule your appointment at least a week after your menstrual cycle when your pain threshold is higher. Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate the bikini area a day or two before your wax to remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs. Trim Hair: Ensure hair is about 1/4 inch long; if it's longer, trim it down for a smoother waxing process. Avoid Caffeine and Alcohol: Steer clear of caffeine and alcohol on the day of your appointment as they can tighten pores and increase sensitivity. Take a Pain Reliever: Consider taking an over-the-counter pain reliever about 30 minutes before your appointment to help minimise discomfort. Wear Loose Clothing: Opt for loose-fitting clothes on the day of your waxing to avoid irritation post-treatment. Communicate with Your Aesthetician: Don't hesitate to discuss any concerns or questions with your aesthetician before the session begins. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water leading up to your appointment to keep your skin hydrated and more supple. 'Ultimately, if it is too late to plan more permanent hair removal options, your best bet is packing a good old set of fresh razors and, importantly, a new loofah or gentle brush to exfoliate your sensitive, sun-bathed skin before shaving,' Pruijt notes. 'You are better off putting in the extra effort of shaving daily than walking around with a waxed, sore rash you cannot control your entire vacation.' Sun exposure can damage sensitive skin Pruijt also advises taking extra care with sun exposure after both waxing and flying. 'Newly waxed or dehydrated skin makes you more susceptible to sun damage. 'You should avoid applying sunscreen on freshly irritated skin, which is why, if you do need to step out the following 24 hours, cover your skin with clothing rather than sunscreen, depending on the area. Wear trousers, long-sleeved tops, a wide-brimmed hat and trainers. 'Make sure you are extra vigilant with sunscreen once you reach your destination,' she warns.'

I went on a spooky tour of Ireland inspired by Netflix's Wednesday with haunted castles and huge waterfalls
An ancient cemetery and haunted castle were high on the agenda — both of which feature heavily in the new series WICKED WEDNESDAY I went on a spooky tour of Ireland inspired by Netflix's Wednesday with haunted castles and huge waterfalls WHEN I think of a holiday in Ireland I think, Guinness, Guinness and, yep, you guessed it, more Guinness. But my two-day mini-break to Wicklow, just 30 minutes south of Dublin, was anything but that. 4 The enchanting Wicklow mountains in Ireland Credit: Getty 4 Grave expectations for Ortega as Wednesday Credit: JONATHAN HESSION/NETFLIX In fact, it opened my eyes to this region's idyllic and dramatic rolling countryside as well as its complex history, steeped in mythology and folklore. And if I needed any more reason to visit, Ireland is now being billed as the new home of Halloween thanks not just to its long-standing roots to the pagan festival but the hit Netflix series Wednesday. The Addams family spin-off moved its filming location from Romania to Ireland's County Wicklow last year. And viewers can now admire the region in the second series — the first part of which aired, appropriately enough, this Wednesday. With all this in mind, it's fair to say my itinerary was positively gloomy, in a good way. An ancient cemetery and haunted castle were high on the agenda — both of which feature heavily in the new series. Secret tunnel Charleville Castle in County Offaly in the Midland region of Ireland, is the new home of Nevermore School — where Wednesday is shipped off to by her parents. As I wandered the halls and grand rooms of the 1800s Gothic castle, it wasn't hard to see why Wednesday's legendary director, Tim Burton, fell in love with the building's dark charm and character. Despite it being a protected structure, he and Netflix were able to persuade the castle's heritage trust to get a master carpenter to painstakingly remove one of the giant windows at the back. It was replaced with sugar-glass panels in order to film a werewolf smashing through the window and into Nevermore's music room, sparking chaos and fear among the pupils. Martin Lewis warns about strict passport rule that could see you board your flight - only to get sent home on arrival Luckily for me, the werewolf was nowhere to be seen on my visit. Even luckier for the trust, and visitors, Netflix left its giant, nine-orbed chandelier in place hanging dramatically in the entrance hall. Almost like something out of Scooby Doo, the castle's library features a false bookcase which opens up to a secret tunnel. It was originally built to allow the Freemason owners to sneak guests in and out of their meetings undetected. Visitors, meanwhile, have to use the main door located at the foot of a jaw-dropping winding, open staircase which is said to have been the site of a tragic death. Trust member Bridget Vance explained to me how a young girl named Harriet, daughter of the 3rd Earl of Charleville, fell to her death from the fourth floor. 4 Joanna Lumley as Grandmama in Wednesday Credit: OWEN BEHAN/NETFLIX 4 The Sun's Jack Hardwick Credit: Syupplied She is said to haunt the castle walls and can be heard singing from the nursery. Bridget, who has lived in the property since 2013, says her young son once went missing — only for her to find him at the top of the stairs. He supposedly told her he was OK as 'the little girl held my hand'. If I wasn't spooked enough already, I sure would be at Powerscourt Estate an hour's drive away from Charleville Castle. Netflix bosses have used extensive areas of this 47-acre estate to help recreate the magical world of Nevermore. Tucked away in the Wicklow Valley, the Powerscourt waterfall — Ireland's highest at 121 metres — will be instantly recognisable to fans of the show as summer camp Jericho. Away from the Wednesday film locations, the heritage town of Trim in County Meath is also worth a visit — especially at Halloween Powerscourt House itself, with sprawling manicured gardens that would put Buckingham Palace to shame, also features in the hit series. The building and grounds serve as the home of Joanna Lumley's character Hester, who is Wednesday's Grandma. I'm told bosses splashed out on more than 30 assistant directors to try and stop members of the public from filming and leaking scenes after they were unable to close the grounds during filming. To their credit, next to nothing found its way online prior to release. Away from the Wednesday film locations, the heritage town of Trim in County Meath is also worth a visit — especially at Halloween. Trim hosts the four-day Púca festival, which focuses on Ireland's mythological traditions of the spirit world coming to life instead of the commercialised American trick-or-treat version we all know today. Over four days the town transforms into a Halloween mecca with music, comedy, fire displays and a parade celebrating creatures from Celtic mythology called shapeshifters, which come out the shadows to take over the area. Rather than using pumpkins, locals carve out turnips as Jack-O-Lanterns. The turnips are a nod to the Irish folklore tale about a man called Jack who made a deal with the devil, which led to him being rejected from Heaven and Hell. He was destined to wander the countryside for ever, with only a lantern to guide him. While I can't say I've ever had a ghostly experience, in Ireland or otherwise, I leave the country fascinated by tales of yesteryear. But I'm also glad none of them have happened to me . . . yet.
