One thing you can never plan for is the weather. I created this list to help you pack better for whatever weather you may face. I do not pack everything on this list everytime however, depending on the location and season I will add in these extras.

Sickness is a traveller's worst nightmare (or anyone who does not live with their mom). You are sick and to be cautious for others but you already spent the money. What do you do? Or, you're fine then after your first night in a new town, you wake up sick. NOOOO!

The key to packing light is to mimic a capsule closet. Bring a few basics that can be mixed and matched with each other to turn 3 outfits into 9! Not all of these items need to be bought. Remember to pack for the weather, this list includes all seasons - read the white articles of clothing for a more detailed description of when/ how I wear this type of clothing.

I lived in Spain last year for 8 months. This allowed me to visit a ton of places due to cheap transportation. These cities are all the places I have visited, and how I felt about them. I also tried to include some things you cannot miss in each of these cities. These all have links to VRBO's site, so you have a place to book your stay!

Sharing my personal favorite items to ensure a smooth journey! This guide breaks down must-haves for the plane, including a toiletry bag, and what to pack for a hassle-free trip.

As much as I want to spend money on the nice things I am a girly on a tight budget. These are my hacks to look like a million bucks but only cost 10!

This is my on-a-budget skincare routine. I have freckles so I only wear light makeup, as to not cover them up. Since I only do a little, I try to make sure my products are nicer. Also most of these products I have collected in some way or another over the years. This makes my makeup only sort of budget-friendly haha.

I dream every night that I wake up with curly hair, but I never do…. So here are my very not complicated steps to get my hair straight. I also included what I use to do my hair like a blowout-esque look, a slick back, or just other accesories.

I am an American studying Spanish. I have found the school system has failed me soooo these are a few things to do to try to help improve my own Spanish. These can be changed to any language you wanna learn it’s not just for Spanish learning.

I moved to a new town where I made super crafty friends. We often have craft nights to catch up and enjoy each other's company. We are all moving soon, but they have inspired me to bring the craftiness home. I am sharing this list so you can bond with the girls in your life. Also, do not be afraid to ask your friends to bring snacks or supplies!
