Right now, as we all know, it's the beach season and what better and useful post than a beach essentials? I'm gonna be honest with you I could do a full on, like a day in the beach, but rather than the things I'm going to show you, you'll only need more is food. So I'm just gonna present you essentials for a morning which is what I do, of course if you want to have a snack go for it, but in my case I don't particularly eat much.
It's only a few things, some of them it's for everyone but I explain bellow.

1. Hat - you can use whatever hat you want, I go for a baseball cap just because it's the jam now but normaly you use a straw hat;
2. Suncream - it's a basic, everyone need it. I didn't put on the photo but if you are that type of people you can use a after sun later;
3. Phone + bag - your electronic obvious, you can use an mp3 as well... The bag is for me to put on my phone and headphones when I go to the water, and where I keep beauty stuff;
4. Sunglasses - a must to protect you the sun, don't forget to bring the case so it doesn't get ruined;
5. Camera - you definitely want to have memories so keep with you, as the same as the sunglasses the case it's important;
6. Towel -  I prefer the thicker ones but the ones with patterns and bohemian feel are so instagram worthy;
7. Shoes - my person loves Toms, they are easy, comfortable and great for the summer time, but you can use flip flops or sandals;
8. Elastics + gum - they don't have to do with each other, but I feel like they are the random ones so, I put it together. Elastics the salty hair can be annoying or is hot, the gum to keep a good breath;
9. Water bottle - this is the all time essential, never go out without it. Keep yourself hydrated, you'll feel a lot better during the say and less sleepy;
10. Bag - if you are going to bring all of this, you need a bag, it's a lot more handy;
11. Book - I have a book, because I'm a bookworm but if you're not, you can carry some cards, ball, or other games that you like to play.

 This is basically what I bring with me rather than just my essentials. So tell me as well what is your number one beach essential, that you have to carry on with you.
{Isto é basicamente o que eu levo comigo, invés de ser apenas os meus essenciais. Assim, digam qual é o vosso primeiro essencial de praia, que têm obrigatoriamente de levar.}

Helloo! In one of my previous posts I said that this month was going to be the "travel month", and it will be, starting today with this post. 
For quite a while this bag was my everything in all my trips, specially outside Portugal. Since I think it's very useful, particularly for girls, I came here to show you what I have inside. It's not just a few things, because the bag itself is big so you can put makeup there, for me I like to keep things divided.
{Oláá! Num dos meus posts anteriores eu disse que este mês seria o "mês viajante", e vai ser, começando hoje com este post.
Já à algum tempo que esta bolsa é o meu tudo nas viagens, especialmente fora de Portugal. Uma vez que eu acho que é bastante útil, particularmente para raparigas, vi cá por vos mostrar o que está lá dentro. Não são apenas algumas coisas, porque é uma bolsa grande e vocês até podem juntar a maquilhagem, no meu caso gosto de separar.}

Starting from the left, I have my more girl related things and smell stuff, such as:

• Deodorant;
• a small bag with my pads;
• panties in a plastic bag;
• tissues;
• socks;
• perfume;
• gum;
• and a moist wipe.

We never know what we will need so I prepare myself for everything. The deodorant, perfume and gum are just basics because we all know that nobody likes bad smell. The next two things are more for that time of the month. The other things, like tissues and a moist wipe is just in case I get dirty or something, the socks, I just have a bad experience when is rainning and my feet get wet or when I go to a hotel and I forget to bring an extra pair.

• Desodorizante;
• uma bolsinha com pensos higiénicos;
• cuecas no saco de plástico;
• lenços;
• meias;
• perfume;
• pastilhas;
• e toalhita.

Nós nunca sabemos do que iremos precisar por isso eu preparo-me para tudo. O desodorizante, perfume e pastilhas são básicos porque ninguém gosta de mau cheiro. As duas coisas seguintes são mais para aquela altura do mês. O resto, os lenços e a toalhita são para o caso de me sujar ou algo assim, as meias, eu tenho uma má experiência quando está a chover e fico com os meus pés todos molhados ou quando vou para um hotel e esqueço-me de trazer o par extra.

• Body lotion;
• lipbalm and Lip Pen;
• some bobby pins and hair elastic;
• a mirror;
• finally, some cotton tips and a nail file.

Since it's more about beauty, I just keep here the basic, as you can see, body lotion in case I feel some part of my body dry, lipbalm if my lips are dry or lip pen when I want a little bit of colour. Bobby pins and elastics we all know that we tend to lose everything or we just have an annoying hair. A mirror because we need to see what we are doing. And last cotton tips just because, and a nail file when you break a nail.

• Loção corporal;
• Batom do cieiro e Lip Pen;
• alguns ganchos e elásticos;
• um espelho;
• finalmente, cotonetes e uma lima.

Uma vez que é mais beleza, eu apenas tenho aqui o básico, como podem ver, loção corporal no caso de ter alguma parte seca, batom do cieiro se os meus lábios estiverem secos ou lip pen se quiser um pouco de cor. Ganchos e elásticos, nós temos a noção que perdemos tudo ou quando temos aquele cabelo irritante. Um espelho para vermos o que estamos a fazer. Por último cotonetes porque sim, e uma lima quando partimos uma unha.

• Pills and sugar;
• Toothpaste and toothbrush;
• Hand sanitizer;
• Gillette.

The first products are the health part as you understood - pills such as pain relivers or paracetamol and alergies meds are a must, sugar in case someone have a dizziness. Then for the hygiene just have tooth related because I can't stand bad breath or leave the house without brushing them so... Hand sanitizer, we all know how dirty public places can be.

• Comprimidos e açúcar;
• Pasta de dentes e escova;
• Desinfetante;
• Gillette.

Os primeiros produtos são de saúde como entendeste - comprimidos como ben-u-ron ou brufen e medicamentos para alergias são um essencial, açúcar no caso de alguma tontura. Para higiene temos apenas, relativos a dentes visto que eu não posso com mau hálito ou sair de casa sem os lavar... Desinfetante, todos sabemos como sítios públicos podem ser sujos.

It's been 3 days since I've been in this space, and I can tell you that I miss it very dearly. It was one of the best days of my life, where I had so much fun, smiled, sang, dance a lot. Probably the best day of a festival for me and in my opinion, at least in this NOS Alive, definitely the best day was the one I went.
I'm not gonna explain every detail of this journey, just the basic like superficial. Because if you were there or even if you follow me on instagram you kind of had an experience. 
{Já passaram 3 dias desde que estive neste espaço, e posso dizer que sinto muito a falta. Foi um dos melhores dias da minha vida, onde me diverti muito, sorri, cantei, dancei imenso. Provavelmente o melhor dia de um festival para mim e na minha opinião, pelo menos neste NOS Alive, definitivamente o melhor dia foi este.
Eu não vou explicar todos os detalhes desse jornada, apenas o básico, o superficial. Porque se estiveste lá ou mesmo se me acompanhas-te no instagram, tiveste uma experiência.}

It started at 3.30p.m when me and my sister first got into the space. Since it was only my second time there we though it would be a good idea to look around an just see what was out there. We actually took a polaroid photo and it look gorgeous. Next, because I'm short and I wanted a good spot for the stage we went there, and just sit there and wait. 
First was the The Black Mamba, a portuguese band, but they were quite good, I personally didn't have in mind ever listen to one of their songs, but...
Kodaline were next and, well first they were a bit late since the previous took to long, and also was a bit disappointing. My expectations were none, I like some of their songs and I can say I was a bit excited, yet the concert was too weak, they simply sang... Didn't interact as much and the vocalist not even seemed happy about it. 
Then was the all time favourite people and concert and band and everything! Since the first time they were announced in other editions I wanna to see them but didn't got the chance. And this year I had and I'm so glad I did. IMAGINE DRAGONS were by far the best raw concert ever. The interaction with the public was on point, the vocals, the instruments, the speechs, even the energy on stage - the environment they put together with all certain will/can make anyone feel IT. I sang the top of my lungs. Believe me.
For last, I was not there to see Depeche Mode, because I was enjoying Fleet Foxes on Heineken Stage because my sister wanted to see "Cage the Elephants" and we were waiting while eating. "Fleet Foxes" were actually a good band to hear while chilling but not quite my type of music. But then came the rave. Damn, Cage the Elephants put everything in that stage, it was a fun concert don't get me wrong, but he was crazy, wild, the people that wanted to see him gone absolutely mad, was shoking at first then I just joined.
And was 1a.m when I was returning home from a marvelous day that definitely upgraded my mood for this summer.
Então foram as minhas pessoas favoritas, o concerto e a banda e tudo! Desde a primeira vez que foram anunciados em outras edições, eu queria vê-los, mas não tive a chance. E este ano eu tive e estou tão feliz por ter tido. IMAGINE DRAGONS foi, de longe, o melhor concerto em bruto de todos os tempos. A interação com o público estava no ponto, os vocais, os instrumentos, os discursos, até a energia no palco - o ambiente que eles colocaram em conjunto com certeza/pode fazer com que qualquer pessoa sinta ISSO. Eu cantei como nunca. Acreditem em mim.
Por último, eu não estava lá para ver os Depeche Mode, porque eu a apreciar os Fleet Foxes no Palco Heineken, porque minha irmã queria ver "Cage the Elephants" e estávamos à espera enquanto comíamos. "Fleet Foxes" são realmente uma boa banda para ouvir enquanto estamos relaxando, mas não é meu tipo de música. Mas então veio o delírio. Maldita seja, Cage the Elephants colocaram tudo naquele palco, foi um show divertido, não me interpretem mal, mas ele estava louco, selvagem, as pessoas que queriam vê-los ficar absolutamente loucos, foi chocante no começo, mas depois apenas me juntei.
E era 1 da manhã quando voltei para casa depois de um dia maravilhoso que definitivamente melhorou meu humor para este verão.


Tell me in the comments bellow if you went to this year NOS Alive, and if you did what day and all your thoughts!
Btw, me and Dan Reynolds from Imagine Dragons held hands. Just want to spread that out in the internet (sorry not sorry) c:
