The summer holidays have arrived, which means family holidays or days out enjoying the sun. Making happy memories or carefree fun days. We are talking about Thursday Plantation Travel Must Haves to help with summer.
While we all look forward to these happy times, we must always be prepared for any event good or bad. Which is why today I am talking about Thursday Plantation and their travel must haves.
Thursday Plantation Travel Must Haves
100% Pure Tea Tree Oil
Tea Tree Oil is natures most powerful antibacterial solution, which is used for a variety of different reasons and treatments.
Tea Tree Oil is distilled from specially selected Melaleuca alternifoilia leaves. Which is a plant native to the coastal regions of northern New South Wales and south-eastern Queensland,
This Tea Tree Oil is 100% pure natural oil and is a powerful antibacterial. Which inhibits a broad spectrum of bacteria and cleanses and protects skin abrasions and blemishes. Tea Tree Oil is well tolerated by healthy skin tissue and does not inhibit normal cell growth.
Tea Tree Manuka Honey Balm
This is a new balm from Thursday Plantation, the Tea Tree Manuka Honey Balm is great for popping in your bag. The balm is a unique combination of powerful natural ingredients to provide symptomatic relief to
- minor skin damage
- inflammation
- minor cuts
- wounds
- abrasions
As you can see the balm has a great range of uses and benefits. 100% pure Tea Tree Oil is a naturally sourced antiseptic, while Manuka Honey provides a moist, low pH environment to promote wound healing. The balm helps to minimise skin irritation and does not sting making it great to use on the whole family.
I have been testing out the balm on a skin irritation and it does as it says on the tube and now a firm addition to my handbag.

not putting suncream on
I tied my sons sun hat too tight when we went on a speed boat in Thailand so it didn’t blow off it was a scorching day so he needed the protection, it was one of those big “the man from del monte” hats….we couldn’t undo the knot and he couldn’t get it off and nobody had anything to cut it with. .he is 15 and wasn’t at all impressed, I on the other hand couldn’t stop laughing
Breaking my collarbone from going on a banana boat :-/
My dog jumped on me and scratched my face. I have had to stay like that the whole summer
Falling asleep with my sunglasses on resulting in ridiculous tan mark.
walking barefoot on my driveway and cutting my foot with a stray nail (my own carelessness though)
Walking through the woods in flip flops, stubbing my toes on tree stumps and roots, getting thorns stuck through the bottoms ofnthe flip flops and into my feet then to finish off… Lots of stinging nettles haha

We were on the Norfolk broads and it was a beautiful sunny day and it was hot, never being on a boat before, I was sat with no shirt on, driving the boat, I did not realise that reflected sun could burn worse than normal sun with the result I could not wear anything on my top half or even sleep comfortably for the rest of the holiday, much to everyones amusement

Getting sunburnt…
The only time I’ve ever got badly sunburned was when we went on a boat trip through a wetland reserve to look at pelicans and flamingos. I forgot my bag containing my sunscreen back in our room. It was very sunny and the reflection off the water made the effect even worse. I had put some sunscreen on before leaving the hotel, but this was not enough and I got a badly burned nose and shoulders.
I was walking with some Greek friends down a very dusty road over there when I toppled over from losing my concentration (it was so hot) and ended up hobbling

Forgetting to put sun cream on during the hottest day of the year
some years ago (when I was 14) I was out doing my newspaper delivery round… Id taken my brother with me and was showing off…. I had not long learned to ride with 0 hands and we found it funny much to my brothers amusement when I hit and speed bump and fell off my bike straight over the handle bars head first landing in a sat up position and smacked my face off a parked car knocking myself out for a minute or so. When I come round i just pushed myself to the wall using the one hand the worked… I did ligament damage to my elbow and my eye was legitimately swollen and sealed shut like I had gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson…. Was not my best day to say the least and I 100% missed out on the army cadets weekend camping trip I had the following day . It took a whole 2 weeks before I could open my eye and a full 8 weeks to regain the use of my elbow again … ouch I found the picture my mum took the other month lol not a good look for me aha

Sitting out in the sun for too long and fogetting to put on suncream. I have very white and pastey skin because I don’t tend to sit in direct sunlight due to having Lupus and Fibromyalgia. These conditions make me hypersensitive to sunlight and heat, so I always opt for shade and never go sunbathing.
Carrying 4 ice creams and tripped over. They went everywhere. I was mortified!
it was so cloudy and overcast on a beach in spain, that i became complacent, and didnt bother with any sunscreen or clothing (i was wearing shorts and tshirt) – i got badly burnt – just because it is cloudy, does not mean that the sun isnt getting through x
