Typically, when I travel, I travel using only a carry-on. I hate waiting for my luggage to come on the carousel and I'm always afraid I'm going to lose my luggage so this is what I have in my carry-on for a week in Europe. Everything I need including clothes, toiletries and other necessities. I do cheat a little bit though, I take a very oversized “purse”with me on the plane it's actually not my purse. It's just an extra bag that I use as my “personal item” My purse is tucked inside. This is where I usually keep my makeup and my toiletries which allows me to pack all the rest of it into my carry-on. My family traveled to Europe for a week only using backpacks and that included two teenage girls that wanted to take everything with them. One even claimed she wasn't going to go because she couldn't take her 16 pairs of shoes she had laid out we worked it out though she took two pairs and had a gr eat time.

I think a cruise vacation is the only way I can truly relax. If I'm on land, for some reason, I can't sit and I have to keep going. On a cruise ship I can just sit and sip and sun all day long.

I love makeup but I only use clean makeup brands and not all work well, so I have curated this list to help you find the ones that i really do use on the daily.

I love Fall sweaters but I really love ones that are cute comfy and affordable. This sweater is my go to in colder weather i love how it pairs well with jeans and tennies to run errands and look put together.

I love fall, the comfy clothes, the crisp air and falling asleep watching football. These fall finds check all of the boxes cute and comfy what a great way to spend a fall day.

I love makeup but i don't like all of the chemicals that usually come with it. I made it a mission to try and wear only clean makeup. I didn't love all of the ones I tried but these are the ones that I use every day because they work great and I feel good about using them.

I love to travel and these are the Travel Essentials I will not travel without whether driving, flying or cruising. These Packing cube save me 30% space in my suitcase which left me more room for souvenirs.

I love Paris especially off the beaten path Paris. Paris is definitely the top of my “Happy Places” if not my top. I love everything about Paris, the food, the people, the architecture the laid-back feel, the shopping. Whenever I'm on a trip to a new city or even one that I visited before I like to do things other than sightsee I like to have experiences in this list is a couple that I have personally enjoyed. I hope you find them interesting. Sometimes I think if I believed in reincarnation that I lived in Paris in one of my lifetimes. My plan is to actually live there during this lifetime.

I have been going to Traverse City every summer since I was 12. My children now take their children to visit TC. It is the most magical place with the most beautiful Family memories. It holds a very special place in my heart and is definitely one of my “Happy Places”
