Monthly Archives for April 2011.
A couple of weeks ago, I posted about wearing leggings and a t-shirt dress on a long flight. It feels like wearing pajamas, but looks much nicer. Soon after I made that post, I found a bunch of very cute t-shirt dresses on sale at Athleta. I ordered some, and I am in LOVE. They…
As the number of women business travelers grow, the number of new mothers who are traveling for work will also grow. Many of these new mothers are breastfeeding their children, and have certain challenges while traveling. While some choose to pump and dump, others need to take the milk back to their baby. We all…
My best friend had quite the interesting trip home from Atlanta last month. You’ve already heard about the gate changes she had to deal with, but that was way better than what happened actually on her flight. She sits down in her seat, gets comfy, and goes to sleep. After about half an hour, she…
I have decided to challenge myself physically, and I am planning to do a sprint triathlon in early June. What is a sprint triathlon, you ask? I don’t know if all of them are the same, but the one I am doing is a half mile swim, followed by a 12 mile bike ride, then…
My best friend recently traveled to Atlanta for a conference. She had plenty of stories for the blog when she came back (just wait until you hear my etiquette for next week–I shudder just to think of it), but the first thing that caught my ear was this. “The Atlanta airport is so disorganized!” she…
There are a lot of things I love to write about. Shoes, bags, and etiquette come to mind, as well as travel beauty and being eco-friendly. The Prive Concept Vert Travel Kit combines those last two, as a fabulous travel beauty shampoo and conditioner kit that uses recyclable containers to boot. The great folks at…
Last month, I stayed in the Hilton Santa Clara for a few days. As promised, I made specific note of whether or not they replaced my towel when I didn’t want them to. How did they do? They did very well!! They did not replace my towel, which I had hung up. Well done! That’s…
This weekend, I decided I needed a pair of Tom’s wedges. (For every pair of shoes bought, Toms gives away a pair to a child in need. While for a long time I have admired what they do, I’ve just never found their normal shoes that attractive. Then they came out with peep toe wedges,…
Last week’s toiletries post sparked some debate over the weekend at my parents’. My mom said that she sees people clearly staying somewhere overnight, traveling with suitcases, who don’t take out their liquids bag for security. I always have, and I think most people I know always do. But do most frequent fliers? I remember…
I promise, it’s not an April Fools joke. I recently found out I will be making another trip to Manila in May. Traveling to Manila takes approximately 26 hours from Texas, so whatever I wear has to be comfortable. Last time, I wore yoga pants, a tank top, and a long sleeved tee-shirt with sneakers.…
