Pick the right gear

What are my essentials for the winter Iceland trip:

  • small soft backpack (perfect as packed in a suitcase)
  • carry-on bottle for water (why buy water in plastic, right?)
  • warm stuff (wool beanie, sweater, socks and gloves, and baselayer) 
  • practical stuff (my glasses, passport, …)
  • beauty stuff (my beloved Céline small B necklace, red lipstick, and brow stuff)

This is our first time in Iceland during winter. And we know that we will always be freezing without a proper baselayer because of windy weather. So I did my research and many friends and colleagues recommended Scandinavian brand Craft. Word of mouth – that’s it! There still was plenty of time before our trip so I took our chances and tried to write an email to *Craft about a possible collab. You know, sometimes we do that – if we are sure that the product is perfect for us and we can make some great photos or social mentions – why not! For saved money, we can eat more hot dogs from Bæjarins Best – Reykjavík’s most famous hot dog stand. :D We will definitely go for „ein með öllu“ hotdog (that’s „one with everything“, where the lamb-based hotdog is covered in ketchup, mustard, fried and raw onion, and remoulade, a type of sweet mayonnaise dressing). Or you can get a „Bill Clinton“ hotdog – Clinton only wanted mustard on it. Anyway, it happened! <3 So, we can choose a proper baselayer exchange for featured here and on our social media channels.
