  • A very candid photo of me trying to fit in some stretches in between everything. When it gets cold, my desire to go to the gym dwindles. Luckily, I haved a lot of fitness videos queued up that I do in hotel rooms when I'm on the road and that also work for living room workouts. 💪🏼 Some of my faves are @poppilatesofficial and @fitnessblender. What are yours?
  • We're in peak cold and flu season and travel can make you even more sucsceptible to getting sick. 😷🤒 We're often sleep-deprived, exposing ourselves to new germs, and sharing an airplane cabin of recycled air with a bunch of strangers doesn't help either. To strengthen my immune system, I have a few strategies. Firstly, I try to increase my hand-washing and dissenfect surfaces I touch frequently. I use @herbanessentials wipes to wipe down my phone or the @planeair spray for my airplane tray table and armrests. I like that their spray is all-natural and the company is women-owned. 🌱 On top of the flu vaccine, I also added Zinc and Vitamin C to my daily supplements. When I'm starting to feel sick, I have a little routine that usually kicks a cold quickly: I change my toothbrush, add a few more layers, take a nap, and most importantly, I do a few rounds of nasal rinse to clear out germy snot from the ear-nose-and-throat canals. 😪I feel like that alone shortens my colds by days.
  • Skirts! Are they a travel staple or do you skip them? Today, I’m styling the same snakeskin print skirt three different ways to show how versatile even a “fancy” one can be. 🐍✨ Link in bio! #hmxme
  • "Don't look back, you're not going that way." But indulge me for a moment. - This week, someone asked me about my 2018 highs and lows, and although I had *sort of* thought about it when I was doing my travel recap in my Instagram Stories, it struck me that I had some pretty major things happen that could have been paralyzing, overwhelming, or dragged me into a slump. But by grace, they didn't. I won't go into details, but on paper, 2018 was one wild year. But by grace, when I didn't feel equipped to take it all on alone, I remembered that I didn't have to. I was never meant to have all the answers or be my own saviour. Instead of making me feel small and powerless, that makes me feel free. ❤️
  • That Friday feeling, when you've had a productive week. 🙌🏼 I have so many ideas I want to act on this year, I just have to remember to keep feeding my body and my mind and stop getting distracted by looking at flight deals! 😅
  • Currencies...how do you keep them organized when you country-hop? 💵💴💶💷 You can't exactly fold bills à la Marie Kondo (or can you?) but you can definitely build systems that make it easier to manage and switch between them. If you're only dealing with two types, there are some amazing double-sided wallets on the market that are chic and practical. 👛 However, my solution at the moment, while unrefined, works fairly well. I keep baggies for each country. That means rechargeable transit passes, SIM cards, and money all go in one plastic bag that I can just dump in a wallet. * Years ago, I would just put everything on the same credit card, no matter where I went, but the more I travelled to the States, the more it made sense to have a USD credit card. 💳 Now, I can pay if off from my Canadian account when the exchange rate is the most advantageous. I also have a prepaid card that I load up with Euros so I avoid any extras fees taking out cash abroad. 🛩
  • For the past few years, I've been wearing the same shape of jeans: high-waisted, stiff, and cropped. 👖 But as I was complaining to a friend over dumplings, cropped jeans are such a trap! Sure, they make your ankles look great most of the year, but come winter, I have to fill in the gap between my boots and my nonchalantly frayed hems so I don't freeze. 🥶 That means long socks or tall boots. Serious question, what pants do YOU wear in the winter? ❄️
  • I bought the perfect travel umbrella just before Christmas, however, when I'm at home, I love to use all my oversized and decidedly travel-unfriendly items. 🌂 Heels, tiny bags, big umbrellas...now's your time! PS. This one is amazing because it folds into itself upside-down, so you don't get yourself wet when closing it. It also has this convenient ring handle that allows you to hold it on your wrist and still text. 📱Added the link in my bio.
