Those who follow me on Instagram will know I have been spending some time of my summer in Germany (and to be more specific, in Jena - the small but friendly town in eastern Germany). My plan was to stay here for 2 months for work/study reasons, and since I knew very little about the place, I have decided to take all my skincare and toiletries with me (which somehow added 10kg into my baggage - I blame the heavy glass jars!). Sadly, I have made a mistake of putting some of these jars with balms into my carry on, without realising airport security counts them as liquids. It was incredibly heartbreaking to see them take away my favourite Tabitha James Kraan Leave in conditioner and brand new Whamisa face mist! I had to tuck in those tears and get on with my journey. Upon arrival, I found there are plenty of health shops which carry all sorts of goods suitable for vegans, with prices ranging from super affordable to higher end. While I am very tempted to sample everything from the local stores, I will not be able to finish all the products in time for my departure and, sadly, my baggage allowance is not unlimited.
