As it’s a Day case I shouldn’t need much, however it’s better to be prepared, so I do 2 bags. One of them are only a day case bag, second one is if there an emergency and I have to stay in for a bit.

In my main Day Case bag it’s mainly Dressing gown, Slippers, Bralet, Pants, Socks, Period Items (just in case) Lip Balm, Toothbrush, Toothpaste, Headphones, Phone Charger, Phone, Eye Mask and Money, Snack and Drink.

However I have an emergency bag as well, with more clothing packed, so second Pyjamas, Spare T-Shirt, Jumper, Bra, Pants, Socks, More Toiletries like Moisturizer, Mirror, Perfume, Tooth care box, Books, Snacks and Drinks, Towel, Deodorant, Hair Brush, Bobbles.

Now to strip the bedding and give it a good wash and dry, same with my dressing gown. And last few days of tidying up while I can. 3 days to go…..

With my upcoming surgery, I know I have to embrace my curly hair more, and while I have some good curly girl shampoo, and conditioner. I need some serum to help reduce the frizz and flyaways, while also define the curls too, and make it feel softer.

I watch Fleur De Force on Instagram and YouTube, I saw her mention Philip Kingsley Frizz Fighting Gloss Available here now £18.90 for 50ml

Next up was a wild card for me, I bought a perfume from the chemists, Called Verset. Only £5.40 15ml I got Anthea a dupe for Gucci Bloom. Available here

Floral – Floral
Orange citrus notes and enigmatic sandalwood are the perfect combination in this floral perfume which evokes images of an idyllic garden in bloom.

Anthea is the perfect perfume for a creative woman who loves life and feels alive.

I got the small one so I can keep it in my handbag, or hospital bag as it fits nice and small. The scent lasts all day unlike most cheap dupe perfumes.

As surgery is fast coming up, I knew that there would be bits and pieces I would need to buy.

In my previous post here I had bought new pjs and a medicine bag. But I was on the hunt for slippers, and I realised I would need a bra of sorts I could personally get on too, and some new comfy leggings.

The bra is a soft yet supportive bralet, I can put over my head, no clasps to fiddle with. From #ASOS Here

I also have a much loved very old pair of #ASOS 4505 leggings, my holy grail of leggings due to their thickness, wide waist band and durability. Here

Slippers was my hardest thing to find, I LOVE the North Face ones, but can I justify over £55 for them. Probably not, so I found some in Home Bargains for £4.00 instead. Not the best, but certainly not the worse looking slippers. 

A nice rubber non slip sole (I always look for outdoor soles) as they are far more durable. Memory foam cushion inside for comfort. A little scared these might make me go over my ankle, as they are memory foam inside, fingers crossed they don’t.

I had ordered new bedding, but Dunelm kept delaying and delaying, then today confirmed they couldn’t honour it and cancelled it. So now on the hunt again, as new bedding is definitely a treat after surgery. Maybe new pillows too.

Got myself a baggy tee to wear from the hospital and this hoodie to wear to the hospital, both from tiktok shop T-Shirt – Available here Hoodie – Available here

I think I’m ready, roll on 26th March
