    The Travel Pouch

    Neat little trick I’ve recently put to use: Have you ever tried traveling with a dedicated “travel pouch” in your carry-on? Essentially, it’s your essentials, all in one place. You keep a pouch packed with the in-flight necessities that you always need, but never want to rummage for, and they’re never further than a pouch away. Keep it in the seat back pocket on the plane, or close to the opening of your under-seat carry-on, and completely eliminate the frustration of spilling out the contents of your bag into the aisle, only to suffer beneath the wheels of a beverage…

    The Best Portable Charger

    Between Rich and I, we now own at least four of these portable chargers.  Since our jobs require the constant use of our phones, we’ve tested dozens over the years, and this model is hands-down our favorite.  The reason is three-fold: It has the highest power storage to size ratio with 20,000 mAh and a compact design that’s still small enough to fit into most handbags (it’s about the length of my iPhone 8 Plus); It has a built-in stand which allows you to prop up your phone to comfortably continue using/watching while it charges; and It has a built-in…

    Dream Luggage

    Have you ever seen luggage so cute you’d invent reasons to use it? Like I’d take this on a trip to Trader Joe’s I want to use it so badly. Steamline Luggage is vintage-inspired and modern day-designed luggage (including the world’s cutest hat boxes) that looks straight out of a Wes Anderson movie. Honestly, I also kind of want to decorate my apartment with them.

    The Best Sleep Mask With Contoured Eye Cups

    Like many people with light blue irises, my eyes are super sensitive so even the smallest amount of light keeps me up/wakes me up.  I’ve tried just about every eye mask under the sun, and finally discovered this incredible $12 contoured sleep mask a couple years ago.  The eye area on each side is contoured outward so the fabric is not pressing tightly against your eyes which allows you to blink freely and open your eyes if you need to.  This also means that when you wake up in the morning, your eyelashes aren’t crimped or bent in weird directions.  If…

    The Best Travel Steamer

    I was recently DM’ed this question on instagram and thought I’d share my favorite steamer for keeping clothing wrinkle-free while traveling.  I absolutely love this model which packs easily, heats up in less than a minute and boasts up to ten minutes of steaming time.  Especially for skirts, dresses and blouses, this is a much easier way to get out the wrinkles than pulling out the hotel iron and ironing board.

    Charleston / New Orleans Bachelorette Planning

    I returned late last night from an amazing bachelorette weekend in Charleston and as the Maid of Honor, I was tasked with the planning/coordination of weekend festivities.  A couple weeks ago I serendipitously connected with Randi of Kay & Co. Weekends and can’t recommend them highly enough if you have an upcoming bachelorette party in Charleston or New Orleans.  Kay & Co is a boutique travel planning company that crafts thoughtful, creative getaways for bachelorette parties, bachelor parties, weddings & the occasional girls’ weekend, too.  While I already had the weekend planned out before I found them, I did use…
