Travel hacks

A PLUS size travel blogger has shared the list of things she cannot get on a flight without.

With summer in full force, most of us are looking forward to hop on a plane and go somewhere – whether it’s a short getaway in Europe or a longer trip to Asia or the Caribbean.

One woman who certainly loves travelling is Kirsty Leanne , who, in her own words, regularly takes it to TikTok and her blog to help plus size people travel the world.

Recently, the social media star, whose videos have amassed her more than a whopping one million views, shared a list of ten must-have travel essentials.

In the video , which has taken the internet by storm, Kirsty said that the first thing to not forget are shoes with adjustable straps.

This is in case your feet begin to swell, she explained.

Another item to not leave behind are chub-rub shorts that will prevent your thighs from chafing.

”Always have anti chafe balm/cream too,” she continued in the comments.

Just as important as these shorts are also comfortable clothes – in the video Kirsty posed with a stunning, flowy maxi dress.

If you’ve planned a beach holiday to soak up the sun and enjoy the lovely breeze, the blogger also reminded to grab a beach towel – she opted for Size XL.

Whether you’re on the beach or not, it’s vital to bring sunscreen with you.

According to her, spray mist is a great option for those hard-to-reach places.

Sharing her favourite plus size travel essentials, Kirsty, who has more than 54,000 followers on the social media giant, said a microfibre cooling towel was also another must-have, as it’s great for keeping cool and removing sweat.

A great addition – or an alternative – is chucking in a portable fan to give yourself a little breeze.

To carry all your essentials throughout the day, don’t forget to take a strong backpack – and a wheelie suitcase for the rest of the journey, as it’s easier to push.

Last but certainly not least, she reminded, is a sense of adventure – this goes without saying.

Sims 4: Seasons cheats

You can’t change the season at will after creating a new world, so you’ll have to use a cheat instead. Or, you know, live through each season in Live Mode but that would take way too long.

Use seasons.set_season [#] to change it at will. Each season is represented by a number:

• Fall: 1
• Winter: 2

You can also use seasons.advance_season to go forward in time by just one season.

• 0 – Green Eco Footprint

Sims 4 relationship cheats

If your Sims have the same problem making friends that I have in real life, the cheat console code relationship.introduce_sim_to_all_others will instantly introduce your Sim to all their neighbors.

For an even easier icebreaker, relationships.create_friends_for_sim will spawn a new Sim on the lot already already friends with yours.

If you need more specific friendship (and romance) control, use the following to add and subtract from relationships between two Sims:

modifyrelationship [YourSimFirstName] [YourSimLastName] [TargetSimFirstName] [TargetSimLastName] 100 LTR_Friendship_Main

Substitute “Friendship” for “Romance” to change romantic relationship values. Positive values will increase a relationship, while using a negative value (ex: -100) will decrease it.

Killing and un-killing your pets

traits.equip_trait Ghost_OldAge [Pet ID] will turn your pet into a ghost if you are either an absolute monster or (spoiler alert) attempting an elaborate Sim version of John Wick. To get your pet’s ID (you monster), use sims.get_sim_id_by_name [PetFirstName] [PetLastName]

You should also be able to resurrect your pets with traits.remove_trait Ghost_OldAge [Pet ID] .

careers.promote [career] and careers.remove [career] work in the same way to get a promotion or remove your Sim’s job. You can also use careers.retire [career] to quit your job and collect a weekly pension.

Sims 4 trait cheats

You can pick certain traits for your Sims during the Create-A-Sim process that control some of their preferences, habits, and how they react to other Sims. One way to cheat your Sims into having certain traits, especially those in the base game, is to use the Shift+Click cheats above to edit them in the CAS (Create-A-Sim) menu.

If you want more fine control, or your’re trying to add and remove other properties, here is your list of traits from game packs and expansions that you may want to give your Sims. A Sim’s Lifestyles, which reflect the habits they’ve developed as you play them, are also added and removed as traits.

After using the base cheat ” testingCheats true ” you can use the following cheats to add and remove all of the cheats on this list with their respective Trait code.

traits.equip_trait [trait]

traits.remove_trait [trait]

On a lot with the “Volcanic Activity” trait, use volcanic_eruption [small/large] to make lava bombs rain from the sky onto your lot.

On a lot with the “Volcanic Activity” trait, use volcanic_eruption [small/large] to make lava bombs rain from the sky onto your lot.

A MUM has revealed how she nabbed a bargain Haven holiday for the whole family for just £6.80pp a night.

Mum Jodie Chilcott-Jones shared on a Facebook money saving group how she found the cheap deal.

The bargain was found when booking a holiday for next May, for which she paid just £109 for the entire family to stay for four nights.

This works out to just £6.80 per person, a night.

She wrote: ” Haven have some great savings on atm! Just booked 4 nights away for £109 in may next year ( 2 adults and 2 children).”

She then showed a four-person caravan – some with sea views – starting from just £79 a night for four nights next May.

However, she opted for the Haven breaks which include access to the swimming pool, entertainment and activities from just £99.

Lots of people advised paying the extra – one mum said: “I booked this last year but realising it was without passes and I had to upgrade for passes so we could go the live lounge and swimming and book any of the activities. Cost me £105 more.”

However, people were stunned by how cheap it was, with more than 1,000 people commenting on the FB post.

One person wrote: “Absolute bargains!”

A second agreed: “Omg brilliant we need to get on.”

Someone else commented: “Thanks very much just got a bargain 4 night stay in Seton Sands for May next year!”

Another parent shared their own hack to save even more on Haven holidays – who price match.

They explained: “They also price match so once you book if the same deal goes down in price they refund the difference we’ve just received an £75 refund due to price promise so always worth checking bookings and deals.”

We’ve found some even cheaper Haven deals to take advantage of.

Some Haven breaks in 2023 can be found for as little as £3 each a night, while some July breaks this year are still on sale from just £5pp a night.

Fancy a mid-week Haven break in autumn ? This will set you back just £49 for the entire family to stay.
