  • What's considered good packing can vary wildly from person to person and even from season to season! For one person, their bag might be full of gadgets they consider essential while another may chose to bring lots of beauty products. On the blog, I share a packing list for the beauty enthusiast, because you can still pack light and indulge your passion. ✨ Link in bio!
  • Howdy! I'm in Nashville right now attending #WCUS and get to spend four whole days in the Honky Tonk capital. I'll be pretty busy with work, however, I'm staying right off Broadway, the street that has all the iconic neon signs and live music bars. 🎶 I've already visited two BBQ joints with my team here, because when in Rome... The only problem is I'm vegetarian, so I've become the queen of ordering sides. I know most of the vegetables are probably cooked in meat fat, but I'm choosing to look the other way 🙈. PS. Feel like I'm jumping all over the map in my posts? Watch my stories to get in-the-moment updates of my travels.
  • Wish you could fall asleep easily on a plane and actually feel rested? 😴 Whenever I fly to Europe, I always take the evening red eyes which means landing in the morning and getting on their schedule after essentially skipping a whole night of sleep. That's when it becomes crucial to get at least *some* rest on those cross-Atlantic flights, but it's easier said than done. 😩 To improve my chances of sleeping on the plane, I rely on my noise-cancelling headphones to turn the loud hum of the plane into a gentle white noise. 🎧 I also use a silk eyemask that I spritz with a little lavender sleep spray (you know, the one I always talk about). I also believe that some ginger + melatonin pills can help, as long as I don't consume any caffein or too much sugar. 💊 Recently, I upgraded my travel pillow to the internet-famous @cabeau neck pillow and it worked pretty well. I'm excited to see how it fares on my next long flight from Chicago to Vienna next week and I'll keep you updated in my stories! 🛫 PS. All these items are linked in the shopping page on my blog. ☺️
  • The trick to enjoying winter is about 90% making the decision to see the upsides. Sure, half the time your face feels like it's being hit by a million tiny ice daggers, but snow is magical and beautiful, winter sports are fun, and there are so many cute layering options. 💙❄️ And if all that fails, you're just a plane ride away from somwehere warm. 🙊☀️
  • Over the past few years, I've swapped all my cheap jewelry for real silver and gold, at which point it didn't make sense to store it in a pill box or a ziplock bag anymore. Luckily, there are a lot of really cute travel jewellery boxes online (this one is from Amazon) that keep everything tidy and protected. ✨
  • Can you smell those Christmas trees? 🎄I LOVE that smell. I live near a historic market in Montreal and stop by often to take in a whiff of the real deal before shuffling home to my mini fake tree and fir-scented candle. I'll be traveling a lot during the month of December, which makes it hard to create a typical advent experience. That's ok though, because the trade off is getting to see what the Holiday season looks like in Nashville and Sofia before visiting my family in Kansas City and then truly embracing my Christmas traditions. 🥰 What about you? If you travel over the holidays, do you still decorate your home? 🏠💙
  • Happy Monday! ✨ I just returned from Toronto, where I was presenting at a conference sponsored by SiteGround. Instead of staying at a hotel, I chose to crash with friends, which gave me more opportunities to catch up with them in between work engagements. ☺️ I even decided to fly home a bit later so I could spend the day with people near-and-dear to me, like this little guy who surprised me with his quickly-developing language skills and even sent me off with a "bye bye Auntie Andrea". 👋🏼🥰
  • Sticking to healthy habits while traveling is a real challenge. It always seems so much easier for me to eat well, exercise daily, and rest enough when I'm at home in my routine. That's why lately, I've chosen to set myself up for success by packing like a wellness buff. . On the blog, I've published a packing list for the health-conscious traveler, so you can also pack like you drink kale smoothies regularly. ;-) Jokes aside, I feel more successful staying consistent with my health goals when I intentionally pack for it. Check out my list on the blog. Link in bio.
