Holiday packing tips
Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday.
1. Write a list
Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase.
Or for complete ease, try Google's AI app - Gemini - which will create a list for you and help you not over pack.
2. Involve your kids
Jemma said: 'My girls are getting older, they're 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say 'this is what you need' and they follow the list.
'And then I give them a rucksack each - and say to them 'you can have whatever you want in there as long as it's not liquid', and they can take that on the plane. And that's their 'home away from home' items.'
3. Try a hack or two
She said: "I think they all work, but for different reasons - and you've just got to pick the right one for your trip.
"Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you're trying to get a lot of items into your case, it's a space saver.
'Packing cubes are great - for example, I'm going on holiday with my three kids and we're all using the same suitcase for our clothes.
"These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked.
"I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we've arrived."
4. Decant beauty products
Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets - which are much lighter and smaller.
Or, if you'll be popping to the shops when you're abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive.
5. Get organised before you come home
Jemma said: 'When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes.
'Also pack it in some form of order - so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person.
"Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don't leave it."
As well as this, if you're jetting away for a week-long break and are looking for packing cubes to keep your suitcase organised, you'll be pleased to know that Superdrug now has just what you need, and for only £5.
The three-pack of packing cubes contain one small, medium and large cube and are sure to tidy up your bag and make packing a breeze.
There's also drinking cups, which look strikingly similar to Stanley cups, for only £10.
As well as being £35 cheaper than the iconic buy, these dupe-tastic drinking cups are sure to brighten up your day, whilst keeping your drinks cool this summer.

Casa Amor star sparks fakery row as she jets abroad with footballer she was seeing BEFORE Love Island
The star has been sharing photos from the sun-drenched getaway WHEN IN ROME Casa Amor star sparks fakery row as she jets abroad with footballer she was seeing BEFORE Love Island – days after show Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A CASA Amor star has sparked a new fakery row after jetting off on holiday with a footballer she was seeing before Love Island. Yaz Broom's trip comes just days after she left the show, after failing to find a connection in Casa Amor. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Casa Amor star Yaz is currently in Rome Credit: instagram./@yasmin_lauryn 5 Yaz was dating footballer Joe Nuttall before going on the show Credit: Getty 5 Yaz has been sharing glam photos from her trip abroad Credit: instagram./@yasmin_lauryn The former X Factor star, 26, grew close to hunky Giorgio Russo but things didn't turn romantic between them and both she and Giorgio were dumped when he returned to the main villa without her. Now, Yaz has jetted off to Rome with a boy she was seeing prior to appearing on the show. His name is Joe Nuttall, 28, and he's an ex footballer for the club Altrincham. A source told The Sun: 'Yaz and Joe were seeing each other before the villa and they've now rekindled their romance after she left. 'She'd take him to concerts with her before appearing on Love Island, and now they appear to have jetted off to Italy together. 'He posted a photo dump of them together in the same place but it's now been deleted.' The Sun has approached Yaz's rep for comment. Both Yaz and Joe have been posting photos from abroad, but they don't appear together in any of them. In one TikTok shared by the Casa Amor beauty, Yaz can be seen on a boat on a river, and she pens: 'Rome is always a good idea.' Love Island's Yaz reveals her X Factor past While appearing on Love Island, Yaz was aksed by Gio why the X Factor girlband she was in split up. Gio, 30, asked why the group went their separate ways, and Yaz said: 'Lockdown. We just couldn't perform anything.' And fans were quick to comment on the revelation, with one writing: 'At least we finally have the answer why you split lol.' The group responded: 'Woops. Look, we haven't split, we're on hiatus!!' Another fan begged for 'one more tour', to which the group teased: 'For old time's sake?' After successfully making it through to The X Factor live shows in 2016, Four Of Diamonds pushed on until week five of the competition before being eliminated. The girls were sent home following a sing off with Gifty Louise, when only their mentor Louis Walsh voted to save them. 5 Yaz failed to find love on this year's Love Island

England arrive in the beating heart of Euro 2025 with Italian job still to do
Just off the shore of Lake Geneva, the Jet d'Eau fires a relentless, arching cascade 140 metres into the air. It is the centrepiece of an effortlessly refined city that has taken leave of its senses at times during Euro 2025. England supporters landing on a clear Monday morning could appreciate the landmark from high up; those feeling brave could stretch out and walk within a few dozen strides of a torrent pumped out of the ground at around 125mph. There is hope that England's women can channel similar momentum when they face Italy at Stade de Genève in their semi-final on Tuesday. It took the squad time to switch off from their epic shootout win against Sweden in the last eight, when they snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Adrenaline coursed through Sarina Wiegman's players in the hours afterwards and nobody would be averse to a sounder night's sleep this time around. In practice nothing comes easily at this stage. It has been tempting to bill this assignment as an inconvenience before an inevitable appearance in the final on Sunday. England negotiated a fiendish group that included France and the Netherlands, their performances mixed, and it felt significant that they overcame a fine Sweden side. Italy are surprise contenders who benefited from appearing in the easier half of the draw. From the outside, it seems England have done the hard part. There is a different feeling inside the camp. 'I think it would be really disrespectful to Italy to think we're favourites,' Wiegman said. 'They made the semi-final just like we did and that's very impressive for any team. Complacency is the biggest mistake you can make. We will have to be at our very, very best to win.' Nonetheless, the Lionesses' travelling support smell a date with history. England are reigning champions and, even if the Swiss air can never match the headiness of Wembley in 2022, retaining the trophy abroad might be an even greater feat. England qualified for only one European Championship of the five between 1989 and 1997. The rate of progress is still in pinch-me territory. 'I can't believe I'll be waking up in 24 hours watching England play a Euros semi in Geneva,' one fan told her travelling companion as they boarded their flight at Heathrow on Monday morning. 'What a sentence,' came the reply. It is an occasion to embrace and those present will, once again, march to the stadium in their hundreds. In Zurich, the venue for that hair-raising vanquishing of the Swedes, supporters walked in convoy for almost an hour. England's faithful may not have everything their own way. Stade de Genève is a lucky venue for Italy, who shocked Norway here last Wednesday in the quarter-finals. The 35-year-old striker Cristiana Girelli scored twice, her second a winner in the dying moments, and will threaten an inconsistent English backline. Italy also drew with Portugal here in the group stage and may assert a numerical advantage in the stands: 10,000 of their fans are estimated to have cheered them on in each of those games, exploiting strong cultural ties and a relatively straightforward trip across the border. The volume will ratchet up in a smart, intelligently designed venue that holds the noise in. 'It'll be quite nice, quite intense,' the England midfielder Georgia Stanway said, comparing the stadium to the running track-flanked ground in Zurich, the Stadion Letzigrund, where England have played three of their four matches. There has been no louder noise this summer than when Switzerland dramatically equalised here against Finland. While Stade de Genève is not routinely favoured by the local football association, partly due to a perceived lack of hospitality provision, it has arguably been the beating heart of the tournament. Sign up to Moving the Goalposts No topic is too small or too big for us to cover as we deliver a twice-weekly roundup of the wonderful world of women's football after newsletter promotion England's buildup has been clouded by the racist abuse inflicted upon Jess Carter, a key member of the side, on social media during the tournament. She has stepped back from running her Instagram account and the team will no longer take the knee before games, seeking a more consequential way to tackle racism. The subject dominated the pre-match press conference held by Wiegman and Stanway. 'It came to the point where the knee isn't doing what we want it to,' Stanway said. 'It's ridiculous and it goes beyond football,' Wiegman said of the abuse. 'Jess is fully supported by us and by the team.' Stanway said: 'If anything it's brought us together as a team. It's something we need to cut out of society and out of football. The people who are being abusive and saying these things are not fans.' Now England hope to put on a show, both for themselves and the millions who genuinely care. On Monday a light easterly wind sent the Jet d'Eau's spray arcing away from anyone who might have feared a drenching. Wiegman's team, though, are nowhere near home and dry.

I've made £5.6k on Vinted & here are the 7 items you need to upload NOW – a particular skirt sells instantly for a start
A SAVVY Vinted seller has revealed the seven items and brands that are selling well on the second-hand platform. Chloe Chandler, 25, a side hustler from the UK, has made over £5,600 on Vinted thanks to her very simple tips. 6 6 6 6 So if you've got a wardrobe full of clothes and shoes you never wear, you've come to the right place and will need to listen up. The fashion fan who has cashed in £5,641.07 through the marketplace app, confirmed that not only are white maxi skirts selling instantly at the moment, but there's an old brand that is sure to fill your wallet. The content creator and Vinted enthusiast, who buys and sells on the app 'every single day,' took to social media to share her top tips and tricks, leaving many totally stunned. The blonde-haired beauty, who is a top Vinted seller with over 500 five star reviews, said: 'These are the brands and the items that are selling really well on Vinted at the moment. 'I add things to my favourites and then wait and see what sells - and all of these have sold and are doing really well as listings on Vinted at the moment. 'So whether you are selling your old bits and bobs or you are a reseller, these are the things that you should be listing.' Maxi skirts First things first, Chloe stressed that maxi skirts in any colour are selling 'so well on Vinted at the moment.' In particular, she recognised that white tiered maxi skirts will move fast, as she beamed: 'I buy maxi skirts all the time, but specifically the tiered ones that are becoming more popular. 'Specifically ones that are vintage - so if you have one with an old label in or it's Jane Norman or any sort of quirky brands, they are selling so fast. 'Every single maxi skirt that I add to my favourites is sold in 30 minutes. It's insane. I'm a Vinted whizz who's made £5k in less than a year - the top 5 items currently selling & how to boost low views 'So if you have an old maxi skirt or if you are wanting to make a profit, maxi skirts are really really good at the moment.' Jane Norman Secondly, Chloe revealed that Jane Norman is one brand that is popular on the app at the moment. She continued: 'This brand was really popular back in the early 2000s, but it's slowly coming back into fashion and it is doing so well on Vinted. 'Just make sure you price your items correctly, do your research. 'I've seen some people uploading stuff that is Jane Norman, thinking that it's not worth anything for about £2 and then it gets sold and relisted for £20 plus. 'It's a very, very popular brand at the moment.' Do you need to pay tax on items sold on Vinted? QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted... The only time that an item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then, you can use your capital gains tax-free allowance of £3,000 to offset it. Generally, only business sellers trading for profit (buying goods with the purpose of selling for more than they paid for them) might need to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can use a tax-free allowance of £1,000, which has been in place since 2017. More information here: Jellycats If you're in need of some cash and your little one has shelves full of Jellycats, you may want to think about selling some, as Chloe recognised: 'These always do well on Vinted. 'Just make sure that if you are clearing out your children's toys, you are checking the tags - even if it's books, some books are by Jellycat, so have a look at the labels. 'Make sure that you aren't giving anything away or selling something at a car boot sale that is actually worth quite a lot. 'Jellycats are increasing in popularity, so these do so well on Vinted.' She also advised: 'Just make sure that they are genuine - there are a lot of fakes. Google how to tell if they're real.' Trainers As well as this, Chloe urged sellers to upload their trainers to the marketplace app, as she explained: 'Trainers always do well on Vinted. 'If you have a pair of old New Balance or Nikes, specifically vintage, early 90s sort of shoes, they do really well. 'Some of the newer designs do quite well on Vinted too, so if you have some trainers, don't just think that they're not worth anything and sell them for 50p at a car boot. 'You need to actually do your research and make sure that you price them accordingly on Vinted. 'People buy and sell them all the time. So if you are looking to sell for profit, check out car boot sales and have a look and just see what trainers people are selling.' Sheer tops But that's not all, as according to this Vinted user, mesh, embellished and sequin sheer tops do 'so well on Vinted.' 'It's specifically the brands, you know, Lipsy, Miss Selfridge, old New Look - those sorts of brands are doing really well. 'Make sure you do your research - don't just sell it for £2,' she voiced. Crochet items Similarly, if you've got crochet items you haven't worn in years, you'll need to get uploading them quick. Chloe claimed that 'anything crochet,' including bags and ponchos, will sell fast. Why I hate Vinted, a real-life view Fabulous Associate Editor Sarah Barns opens up on why she hates Vinted: It's the king of second-hand fashion but I hate Vinted. There I said it. Yes, it stops items going into landfill. Yes, it helps create additional side-hustle income for many. And yes, you can get things at bargain prices. But it is just not my (shopping) bag. From personal experience, I've bought 'cheap' bundles of children's clothes only for them to arrive dirty and misshapen. Plus, with postage and buyer protection they didn't feel like such a great deal. I much prefer going to my local charity shop or supermarket for kids' stuff. I've also bought more premium high-street items - a dress from Arket and a skirt from Cos - only to find they didn't fit properly and the colours were faded. I attempted a bout of selling stuff but gave up after my £110 Veja trainers got lost in the post and I spent two hours on the phone to Royal Mail. A major gripe with it is that it still encourages you to spend, spend, spend. I'm not sure I needed the items I did purchase, I just didn't want to miss out. Also, the reselling of fast-fashion items - a £5 Shein top on Vinted for £17.50 - makes me feel a bit queasy. Clothes shopping has become a daily hobby for a lot of people when really it should be something that's done once or twice a year as a necessity. But the 18 million Vinted app users clearly disagree with me. She acknowledged: 'People wear a lot of crochet items just as a little cover up for holiday and festivals and things. 'I'll add some ponchos to my favourites and they sell so quickly. 'Specifically ones from Per Una, old Marks & Spencer, those sorts of brands." Silk items from Monsoon Finally, Chloe revealed that anything silk from Monsoon is sure to make you cash fast. She concluded: 'Anything that is Monsoon that is silk - I have sold so much of this. 'I think I've sold about five silk Monsoon items within the last month, it does really, really well - specifically little cami tops and dresses. 'Make sure you check your labels, because nine times out of 10 people don't realise that they are silk and then someone else gets a bargain, looks, sees that it's silk and then puts it on for double the price.' Social media users react The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ chloe_chandlerx, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 101,500 views, 1,282 likes and 146 comments. Social media users were thankful for Chloe's advice and raced to the comments to express this. One person said: 'Great advice, I have a few Jane Norman dresses to list.' Another added: 'Yep I put an asymmetrical maxi skirt out and it sold really quickly.' A third commented: 'I wish I'd kept all of my extremely noughties clothes now.' Meanwhile, a Vinted beginner beamed: 'New to Vinted. Loving everyone's tips, thank you.' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club 6
