I know I spend a lot of time talking about shopping, and it definitely can be fun and rewarding. But unfortunately, between replacing items from my stolen purse, vet visits for my sick dog, and my triathlon, my shopping budget has been whittled down to smaller than normal. I keep making lists of things that…
In honor of my fabulous traveling companions, and all the people who told me that it is so hard to condense toiletries, I give you the Toiletry Travel Tips Roundup. Here are my favorite and most effective tips for making the most of your liquids bag. I take three bags–my liquids bag, non-liquids bag, and…
I am currently on a trip to a conference with some friends. As I picked up one of these ladies on the way out of town, she said, “I spent so much time packing for this. And then I repacked again. It’s so stressful traveling with the packing queen!” She opens the trunk of the…
When I traveled to Manila a few weeks ago, I was feeling pretty confident I could handle everything related to the trip. I’ve done this! I thought. It will be no problem! You’ve all heard that pride goeth before a fall….. I told you about my stupid time goofs. Well, one of the reasons I…
You may be wondering how a crockpot can make travel healthier. This time, I’m not talking about while you are actually traveling, but once you get home. For me, day trips are the worst offenders. You get up at 4am, fly out at 6am, work all day, then get home at 9 or 10 or…
Somehow, some way, I made it through. The swim was the best part, and I finished faster than I had ever finished. The bike ride, eh. The first half was pretty bad, but once I got into my rhythm (and started interacting more with the women around me!) it was good. And most of the…
After months of training, the big weekend is finally here. It’s my first triathlon! I am as ready as I’ll get, which I try to remind myself when I start getting nervous. I have read tons of articles, watched videos, picked the brains of all the triathletes that I know, jogged many miles, biked many,…
This was not my first trip to Manila, it was my second. So I was way less anxious about a lot of things, including the long travel time, working at night, the time change, and what to pack. In fact, I may have been less anxious than I needed to be, because I got tripped…
I looooove shoes. Unfortunately, due to an injury several years ago, I can only wear flats. Over the years, I have amassed quite a collection of fabulous flats. My favorites are the peep-toes, especially during summer. Of course, flats are more practical when traveling anyway. So it all works out! Nordstrom is having their half-yearly…
A few trips ago, I packed all of my normal stuff for a plane ride: iPhone, Kindle, magazine, snacks, and knitting. It was only once I was on the actual flight that I realized I had forgotten to wind my yarn, and so had a pretty much useless skein. In my early morning purse packing,…
