Staycay · Sept 2026
Staycaying here this week, on the Palm. Quiet luxury, not a party hotel. I’ll say on the Reel whether I’d book it again. We paid for this stay.
The shop
Grouped the way I shop: stays, what I wear, the bathroom shelf, the suitcase, and home.

Heat outfit Reel
When we go out and the air still hurts your face, I want fabric that does not cling. Wide-leg, light colour, something I can sit down in.
Style
A little sparkle on a plain blazer or linen. Four in the set. I pin one and keep the rest for gifts.
What's in my bag
What actually goes in: lip, card, SPF, phone. A structured mini so I stop carrying a tote to dinner.

My Beauty Essentials
The one I actually reach for after a wash. Smooths without ripping half my hair out in this humidity.
My Beauty Essentials
Takes the face off after dinner without a ten-step routine. Hyaluronic acid, no sting.
My Beauty Essentials
Foundation and concealer on one brush. Airbrushed enough for a hotel bathroom, not a glam room.
My Beauty Essentials
Makeup that lasts past lunch in Dubai. Gel, hydrating, I use a thin layer and stop there.
My Beauty Essentials
For the bits under the eyes. Small, does not streak, lives in the makeup bag.
My Beauty Essentials
Bronzer and contour without two extra tools. I keep the colour light in this heat.
My Beauty Essentials
Morning brightener that does not cost a dermatologist visit. Vitamin C + E + ferulic.
My Beauty Essentials
For redness after the sun or a long day. Azelaic acid, hyaluronic, no drama.
My Beauty Essentials
Lightweight cream for glass-skin days. Does not sit greasy under SPF.
My Beauty Essentials
Keeps blonde from going brassy between appointments. Sulfate-free.
Getting ready
Powder blush turns patchy here by lunch. Rare Beauty Stay Vulnerable in Nearly Apricot. A finger tap, no glam room.
My Beauty Essentials
Hotel floors, sandals, dry air. This is the pot I pack, not a pretty foot mask.

Staycay pack
Phone, watch, one cable. Lives in the staycay bag so I am not hunting adapters in a hotel room.
Staycay pack
Linen after a suitcase. 35 seconds and it is ready. I use it more than a proper iron.
Staycay pack
Swim, underwear, the bits that otherwise explode in a suitcase. I use a few and leave the rest in the drawer.
Staycay pack
I do not fold a whole wardrobe for a Palm staycay. Cubes for the dress, the swim bit, and a tiny wash bag.
UK list
Goes in the suitcase or the staycay bag. I keep this on the UK list for family trips home.

Home
Glass, portable, the one I actually use at home when I cannot be bothered with the oven.
Home
Car, sofa, crumbs after a staycay unpack. Light enough that I actually pick it up.
Home
Pieces I live with at home. Supporting a maker I love, not a haul, and not Amazon.
