I love shoes. I mean, I LOVE shoes. In fact I bought three pairs last night. (Don’t tell Home Warrior.) But as someone who loves shoes, I am very aware that not all shoes are super comfortable. In fact, many shoes are downright terrible to wear. I try only to buy shoes that are comfortable,…
From The Washington Post: A plume of volcanic ash from Iceland hovering over Northern Europe severely disrupted air travel for hundreds of thousands of airline passengers Thursday as authorities cancelled flights across the region. The ash cloud, which has drifted from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland, forced officials to shut down airspace in Britain, Ireland,…
I always bring my own shampoo, conditioner, face wash, soap, and lotion when I travel. Mostly this is because I am super picky about the products I use, the way they work, and the way they smell. However this has an added benefit. The more times I fill up my reusable bottles filled with product,…
When the iPhone first came out, I wanted one. A few months later when my brother-in-law got one and came to visit with my sister, and I got to be around it and use the amazing features, I really wanted one. When I went to visit them in San Francisco and my sister had one,…

RyanAir to start charging for the loo. Seriously, I am not making that up. On flights less than an hour, RyanAir will start charging…
Last night, after I FINALLY made it to my aunt and uncle’s house for the last thirty minutes of my grandmother’s birthday dinner (see tweets on the sidebar for the details of my day), we got into a travel discussion. Makes sense, really, considering that I travel constantly, had just arrived from the airport after…
My mom and I recently got into a conversation about how we remember where we park our cars at the airport. I don’t actually usually have to remember, because I typically park at an off-site parking facility which handily writes down my space and hands me the paper. Then when I am ready to go…
In case you haven’t noticed, I am super excited that spring is here. Shedding the dark colors and heavy fabrics of winter in favor of dresses and tops in breezy brights and pastels is a warm-weather treat. And of course, that extends to purses! Time to put away my dark brown bag and get out…
