That magical harmony created between your working life and actual life that stops you stressing and becoming overloaded.
I don't think I've ever met anyone who has been able to completely and utterly achieve this: some may have found it for a while and then lost it again, and some find it hard to achieve it at all.
With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I'm sure they'll be a few people scrambling around to find something for their loved one.
But when I was planning this Valentine's Day gift guide, I didn't want to go down the conventional route of lot's of romantic gifts because, to be honest, Valentine's Day isn't very conventional any more.

When I went to Berlin a couple of months ago, it was the first time I had travelled with just a carry-on bag.
Some may squirm at the idea of being limited to just one small bag, but I decided to relish the challenge. Let me tell you though: it was definitely harder than I thought it was going to be.
Luckily for me being a blogger and all, I end up with a lot of sample size products that are under 100ml that I keep aside for travel.
The main thing that I struggled with was fitting all my liquids into just one clear bag. Some of you may have had the same problem in the past, where you come to realise how many things you want to bring count as liquids, even if they are gels and balms...
It may have taken me up into the hour before I was due to leave, but I finally managed to whittle all my beauty products into that one clear pouch that I would need for the next week.
So, what made the cut?

If you're in a long-term relationship, then you may have already been (or are planning on going) on holiday together.
With your average holidays being between 1-2 weeks, the likelihood of the two of you falling out a lot is pretty slim, due to you being in each other's pockets for only a small amount of time.
But what is it like to be in each other's pockets for months? Or even longer? That is the question that you'll end up asking yourself if you plan on backpacking together.
As wonderful as long-term travel is when you are doing it with your other half, things can sometimes get tense, even to the point of make or break.
You'll have probably heard that term a million and one times already, but it honestly couldn't be nearer to the truth.
Think about this: you're going to be spending every day together, for however many months you plan on backpacking, making decisions that affect the two of you while trying to keep safe and feed yourselves. All of those things can mount up until things get tense, and that is only natural.
However, there are some things that you can do to ensure that you come back from your trip still as a couple rather than as singletons, and these are the tips that helped me when I went backpacking for 5 months with my boyfriend in 2017.
