    Also, girl! SPEND YOUR MONEY ON WHAT BRINGS YOU JOY. Not to be morbid but my Nan used to say "there's no hitch on a hearse" you can't take it with you. Invest in joy my love. In the words of Mary Oliver, you have "one wild and precious life" ❤

    @sarahsmith4195 Před rokem +3

    For mossie bites - socks and long sleeves from dusk are a must, anti hist as you said daily, dab tea tree oil on any bites, bathe any bitten areas in water/ tea tree, burn citronella and spray deet. Pack decent foam adhesive dressings so any wounds can be kept clean/ non scratched. I lived africa 6 years and they munched on me! Loved ur vid X

    • @irisbudgets
      @irisbudgets  Před rokem +1

      Ah Sarah thank you! Honestly I was a nightmare. Scratting around for anti histamines, the guide had to buy me steroid cream. Never again! Thanks for the advice x

    Saving can become very addictive, and if the money is not spent on the intended goals, then saved money can easily become hoarded money.

    • @irisbudgets
      @irisbudgets  Před rokem

      Wow what a totally poignant thing to say I totally agree. Love that you’re a toy hoarder saying that too 😂😂😂

    I totally get what you're saying about the desert. I went to Morocco last year and spent the night in the Sahara desert. There was a full moon. It was such an incredible experience, me and my two friends kept looking at each other and being like....I can't believe this is really happening ❤

    • @irisbudgets
      @irisbudgets  Před rokem +1

      Honestly Carla, I will never forget that night under the stars. Even the mozzies couldn’t put me off experiencing that again. So magical x

    @shecanbudget1170 Před rokem

    I agree with you. Life is too short not to do things that make you happy & create memories. Even at the start of your video, before you mentioned anything about your holiday, I was wondering where your next trip would be 😎
    I've got a holiday savings binder for a big holiday in a few years time but also savings challenges for mini holidays in the interim. It's always good to have something to look forward to 😎 xx

    • @irisbudgets
      @irisbudgets  Před rokem +1

      Honestly I completely agree!! We all need something to look forward to!! That’s why we work hard! I know what I want now and I’ll just keep working to get there!! Thank you so much! X

    Hello friend! As a nurse, I'm telling you to quit apologizing, eat the cake, travel and live your life for you. If you live for acceptance as others and it's your time....where are they going to be? No where to be found. Do you boo. lol Love ya girl. OH! My Shelby is in the hospital as I type, so little Rachel Elizabeth will be here soon enough, I know you wanted to know. 🥰 So happy to see this video after a 16 hour shift getting ready to do another tomorrow. Better get to bed. haha

    @georgiek5733 Před rokem

    Great video. I totally agree with enjoying your money. Cash stuffing has really changed the way I save and use money and sometimes I get so caught up in saving that I don't want to use the money and it shouldn't be like that. Its there to be used and enjoy. Travel the world there is so much to see😊

    • @irisbudgets
      @irisbudgets  Před rokem +1

      I totally agree!! It’s there to be sensible and budget but life is also for living! Thank you so much xx

  • @jacquelinesnailmailmummy

    That camel was great! You can draw! 😊 So pleased you enjoyed Jordan. I went years ago with my husbands family, such fond memories. I loved watching your travel vlog. It took me back! You’re saving for the holidays, so why not enjoy your money whilst you can. You can’t take the money with you when you’re in the ground! The amazing thing is that you’re saving for what you want and you’re not getting into debt for it! So do you and enjoy your life. Can’t wait to see your next travel vlog

    • @irisbudgets
      @irisbudgets  Před rokem +1

      Aw I’m glad you enjoyed the vlog Jacqueline! You’re right I can’t take it with me and I have pretty much no responsibilities so why not! 😂 and yes no debt from it which is a bonus! Thank you xx

    Hi Iris, you draw beautifully it is a great camel. It is nice to keep up to pay off your debts. But you also have to take care of yourself boo. 1 step at a time and you will reach your goal. Loved the Jordan vlog💛💛

    It sounds like you had a lot of fun on vacation. You should definitely enjoy yourself. All work and no play just bring the grave sooner rather than later. Your camel looked amazing.

    • @irisbudgets
      @irisbudgets  Před rokem

      It was amazing thank you!! And the camel wasn’t bad yes 😂🐪🐪 wish I was back there and you’re right life is too short not to do the things you love! X

  • @dillydallybudgets
    @dillydallybudgets Před rokem

    Love that you have had a great time in Jordan!!! It looked immense!!!! And enjoy your money and book that next trip!!!! Xxx also yes take antihistamines before, during and after and also you can get an antihistamine cream to apply on them called ‘antisan’ also an ‘after bite’ stick might help after you’ve first been bitten. Hope this helps xx

    • @irisbudgets
      @irisbudgets  Před rokem +1

      Yes I’m defo going to try that thank you. Someone just said anti san so I’ve made a note of it thank you!
      Also yes I have after bite - I absolutely LOVE it!! Careful not to sniff it though 🥴😂

    Completely know the feeling about the bites! Last time I went to Egypt I had over 100 bites just on my legs 🙈 i had to have an anti allergy injection and a course of tablet! Citrus is so good for keeping them away so lemon myrtle body scrubs and lotions 🥰

    So glad your back I've missed my morning fix😁Being a Scottish red head living in Australia the mozzies love me!!! I always use Avon Skin-So-Soft Bug Guard Plus it also has an SPF of 30. It is the best one I have tried for me. To treat bites I use tea tree oil, I also take a bad reaction to mozzie bites! Can't draw she says, your camel looks great 😄Love Errol 🦉

    • @irisbudgets
      @irisbudgets  Před rokem +1

      Ah no I bet it’s bloody awful there for mozzies! Yeah I had skin so soft I just forgot to re apply it after 6 glasses of red 🥴😂😂 tee tree oil is a good shout I will try that thank you 🙌🏼

    Hey Iris. So sorry to hear about the mozzie bites. I too suffer from them, and get an allergic reaction. I've been using citronella as a repelent and worked wonders for my last 2 holidays. I think its smells nice too. ❤

    So glad you had such a wonderful trip. I agree with the previous commenters who say you only live once; and that £5 envelope would really boost your travel funds at the end of the year. I am sorry to hear you are going to take the vlog down... the music and the panoramas really took me home to growing up in Saudi.... didn't have all those amazing ruins, but much of the rest was so familiar. I had saved it to my list to re-watch, and re-listen. 30:34

      Yes defo I will be putting at least some of the £5 challenge if not all of it to my next trip! Ah I will leave it up thanks so much Celeste! Yes we were close to Saudi on the Trip at times. I bet some of the landscapes were similar to your memories ! Thanks so much xx

    This is me Iris. Skin so soft, anti histamine every day and take hydrocortisone cream with you. Apply that to the bites. I think there is a combo cream with hydrocortisone and antibiotic but the pharmacist would know. I think I bought that when in Greece once. Loved the Jordan vlog.

    Hey lovely, start taking B1 for bites at least 2 weeks before you go on holiday and also whilst you are away, it eliminates an odour through your skin that humans can't smell but the bugs can and don't bite you, also use avon skin so soft dry oil original in the evening after shower it has a trace citronella content that they don't like. Hope this helps x

    I get bitten all the time too - citronella oil is good to help ward off bites. I dab a little on like perfume - wrists, behind knees and ankles and behind the ear. Its got a strong smell which you may not like but it helps reduce the amount of bites i get!

  • @ginanearftworth4404
    @ginanearftworth4404 Před rokem

    Oh you poor girl. You're allergic to mosquitoes. I am too. When they bite they inject something like a blood thinner so as they suck on your blood it doesn't clot up. I have used Carona Ointment all my life. My parents answer for any injury was "wool fat and a band aid". Technically it's for animals, but don't let that stop you. It's an antiseptic, so it draws out anything foreign, infection, pus, etc. It doesn't burn, it's thick and a little goes a long way. If the jar gets a film on top just stir it up and mix that lanolin fat back in. Good luck. ❤❤ Love your videos.

  • @elizabethgarner3349
    @elizabethgarner3349 Před rokem

    Re. Mozzies - agree with other advice given, but talk to GP, a month before you travel to ensure most suitable anti-histamine (different strengths) and may be beneficial to take for longer than a week prior to need as they 'build up resistance' in your body. Also, in some cases, for repeated and severe situations, GPs sometimes prescribe an anti-biotic for use when needed by a trustworthy patient; you might be able to take antibiotics with you. Obviously though, prevention is best and keep wounds clean!

    • @irisbudgets
      @irisbudgets  Před rokem

      Ah thank you Elizabeth I’m definitely going to do that with the docs before I go. I’ll take their advice and see how long I should take them for before I go.
      And yes that’s a good shout re antibiotics too.
      Normally I’m pretty good at keeping them clean but I had to tape them up to go hiking and gorge walking and it wasn’t the best treatment for them! Never mind 😂

    I’ve been told to take antihistamines for 2 weeks before you go! And whilst you go take one everyday. I feel your pain. My friend who has the same issue just went to Zanzibar and she done this and said it worked. Whilst she got a couple of bites it didn’t react ❤️💕😍

    Pausing the video to say Iris go travel, go wild girl. You are so right, life is incredibly short and we should strive for what makes us happy. My grandmother used to always tell me as a child that I should travel when young because when you get to her age (and mind she wasnt old back then she has sadly passed now!) you just can't arsed and she was right. 40 is young and I don't think you should have to justify to anyone about spending your mula on seeing the world. I hope you do manage to get the funds together for the trip 💖 Back to the video now after my rant heh!
