Barb’s Gear for Iceland

Pick the right gear

What are my essentials for the winter Iceland trip:

small soft backpack (perfect as packed in a suitcase)
carry-on bottle for water (why buy water in plastic, right?)
warm stuff (wool beanie, sweater, socks and gloves, and baselayer)
practical stuff (my glasses, passport, …)
beauty stuff (my beloved Céline small B necklace, red lipstick, and brow stuff)

This is our first time in Iceland during winter. And we know that we will always be freezing without a proper baselayer because of windy weather. So I did my research and many friends and colleagues recommended Scandinavian brand Craft. Word of mouth – that’s it! There still was plenty of time before our trip so I took our chances and tried to write an email to *Craft about a possible collab. You know, sometimes we do that – if we are sure that the product is perfect for us and we can make some great photos or social mentions – why not! For saved money, we can eat more hot dogs from Bæjarins Best – Reykjavík’s most famous hot dog stand. :D We will definitely go for „ein með öllu“ hotdog (that’s „one with everything“, where the lamb-based hotdog is covered in ketchup, mustard, fried and raw onion, and remoulade, a type of sweet mayonnaise dressing). Or you can get a „Bill Clinton“ hotdog – Clinton only wanted mustard on it. Anyway, it happened! <3 So, we can choose a proper baselayer exchange for featured here and on our social media channels.
