THE SEARCH FOR THE 16X14X12

As I talked about previously, my one new irritation with Spirit Airlines is the carry-on policy.  I know that I talked about using a backpack, but when I checked out the backpack when I got home, I was concerned about the shape and my clothes staying somewhat nice while I am transporting from one airline [...]

My Obsession with Hair Straighteners has Crossed Over to This Site!

How I love my hair straighter, let me count the ways….um, wait…. Okay I know it sounds cheesy, but I found the perfect hair straightener (or at least I thought I did until yesterday), its only $20, and you can only buy it (as far as I know) from Target.com.  The Conair 1″ flat iron [...]

My Two Essential Travel MUST Haves!

I don’t know about you, but I always seem to be at my clumsiest when I am wearing white….take for instance this morning, wearing a crisp white button down, all of a sudden a hole appears in my lip, and I get tea everywhere…thank god for those tide pens…yes, it doesn’t get EVERYTHING out in [...]

Packing For Maui

For the first time EVER, I OVER PACKED! That’s right, you read right…I over packed! I bought all these cutesy Hawaii type outfits to end up wearing nothing, but my Reebox Fit Sneakers (which I love and adore), tank tops, and shorts.  With the exception of the luau, I lived in tank tops, shorts, and [...]

Maui is Definitely WOWIE….yes, I can be that lame!

Although I am a sucker for planning events when traveling, I was so excited about the Marriot Resort and Spa that the mamala and I were staying at in Wailea that I really didn’t want to have to worry about anything than parking my butt on a pool chair and soaking in the sun, with [...]

The Perfect Summer Palette

  I have made it one of my many goals (besides collecting as many rompers for the summer as possible) to learn how to pack as many makeup looks as possible into a small traveling makeup bag.  Mom and I leave for Scottsdale, AZ (which may now be Hawaii, I will keep you posted on [...]

Avoiding Checked Luggage Fees

Does anyone else recall a time where you didn’t have to pay to check your luggage? It was all part of the flying – I fly, I have luggage, I can check my luggage (and pray that it doesn’t get lost).  Now, we are in a time where carry-ons are limited in size and number, [...]

Whats In Your Travel Bag?

 I have always loved the blogs based on this, especially the makeup ones, so I couldn’t wait to do it myself.  I am a kind of a voyeur when it comes to what other people take with them.  I will plan for weeks what goes into my bag and although I always plan to just [...]

Planning for San Francisco (minus the Pea)…le sigh!

  Okay so I know this is not a “girl-getaway”, but it is my first getaway with my gentlemen suitor, so I thought what the hell, I will blog about it anyway and I have never been to San Francisco.  I will adjust accordingly to the girls!  As some of you know, the fun for [...]

Quick Tips for Weekend Getaways

If you happen to be driving to your destination, and space is not an issue, consider bringing your own towels.  I have just learned this disturbing tip the hard way, so consider yourself saved.  You see, I have very sensitive skin and fabric softener does quite a job on me (I use ALL free and [...]
