How to... pack your toiletries (Part II)

A couple of months ago, I wrote a post entitled, "How to... pack your toiletries for your hand baggage". Not long afterwards, I was asked to try out Arm and Hammer's new battery operated electric toothbrush. Now, it might not be very fashionable to talk about brushing your teeth but it certainly is fashionable - particularly in Hollywood - to have clean white teeth. I already use an electric toothbrush but it runs off a rechargeable battery with a mains charger and so a battery operated brush is much better for travelling - maybe a weekend city break or camping at a festival?

But now I'm thinking of swapping my current brush for this one permanently and not just when I'm on my holidays. The brush is bigger than most electric toothbrush heads which makes brushing easier and quicker and more effective. Believe me, I didn't think I'd be able to write much about a toothbrush but turns out I could go on!! But I won't. Only to tell you it costs less than £15 and a couple of AA batteries. What better for your holidays?

What are your safe saving tips for packing your toiletries for your holidays?

Have Your Say: traditional or metallic Hunter wellies?

When my monthly Elle subscription popped through the letterbox at the beginning of the week I nearly squealed with delight when I saw one of my favourite and probably one of the best loved British bloggers, Sasha Wilkins of Liberty London Girl, smiling back at me from the new ad campaign for Hunter wellington boots. A British icon for a British icon. If you haven't seen it, this is the ad:

Doesn't she look fabulously British?

I have loved the Hunter brand for a long time but from afar. Until last month I decided to cross of one of my "lust list" items and buy myself a pair. I eventually found a pair of the shorter style in my size in the sales and couldn't have been happier! Neither could my feet, which don't now have to endure getting soaked in the lovely wet weather in totally unsuitable canvas trainers every time it rains. (I promise an outfit pic featuring them very soon!)

Anyhoo, for you lovelies, I thought I'd check out Spartoo's selection of Hunter boots. You could either go traditional with a green or black pair:

Or, for festival season, maybe a metallic pair in either blue or silver would be more appropriate?

Which would be your choice? After the success and fun of last week's poll, I thought I'd try it again:
