Ah, New Years. That time of year when we evaluate how the past year went, and how we would like for the coming year to go. One of my goals is to continue to make my beauty routine even more eco-friendly. As a result, I have been perusing The Body Shop for some products, as…
You may have read about how, on my first work trip, I brought a ridiculous amount of stuff with me. That trend continued for a while, as I grappled with how to pack efficiently and yet completely. About four months after that first trip, I took a trip that spanned the country: three towns, three…

Over the last month, my mother has traveled even more than I have. She was in at least 7 states, plus Canada, in a three week period. Since there was a combination of driving and flying, she had “issues” with packing her toiletries. She was driving the entire trip except for a one-night trip in…
