Are you a parent being dragged along on a trip to Universal? I let them get on with it and went and had my own fun! Here are some fun things to do by yourself in and near Orlando. (You will need a car for some of them.)
Whether it’s for the holidays, a birthday, midterms, finals, or simply “just because,” a thoughtful care package can brighten a college student’s day. Being away from home and juggling classes, responsibilities, and college life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and receiving an unexpected package is a simple way to remind them that someone is thinking about them.
And care packages aren’t just for parents to send to their own college students! If you have a niece, nephew, grandchild, family friend, former student, or another college student in your life, consider surprising them too. If you’re ready to put together a little box of encouragement, treats, and useful goodies, check out the ideas below! ❤️

I'm so happy that I discovered Torrid. As a curvy woman, I feel that I'm expected to sacrifice sexy items, but not with Torrid. Please enjoy the clothing pieces from Torrid currently in my closet.
Living in AZ can definitely take a toll on the skin. Then add in the stress and fatigue that can come with a job like teaching high school. So saturating my skin with hydration and focusing on bringing life back to tired dull skin is always my priority. Not to mention, I started this job at 22! So I want my routine to keep my youthful glow as long as possible now that I’m in my 30s. And remember as a teacher who is ALWAYS busy, my goal is to optimize this process because I don’t have time typically for a thousand steps. My routine order is usually the same morning and night, except during the morning my final step is SPF and at nighttime I add my barrier cream to lock in all the steps while I sleep. 1st step to last step is- cleanser, hydrating spray, collagen serum, mucin serum, under-eye treatment then under-eye hydration, moisturizers (medical then regular). Takes about 5 minutes. I’m also aware there is ALOT of Kiehl’s on here. This brand time and time again has saved my skin. I fall into beauty trends just like everyone else- but something I have learned as I’ve gotten older is that my skin is super sensitive. Especially here in our AZ climate. Being originally from the PNW, I never had an issue with moisture retention and my skin barrier but here, any little thing can disrupt that for me. Kiehl’s products have rebalanced and resurrected my skin from the depths so that’s what I use.

Spending $7 on a box of six popsicles that taste like sugar water and food coloring got old fast. If you have kids demanding frozen treats all summer or you just want something that actually tastes like real fruit, this is everything I use to make popsicles at home that genuinely taste better. Took me two summers and a drawer full of bad molds to figure this out so you don't have to.

Every summer I'd toss vegetables on the grill and watch them either fall through the grates or turn into charcoal. Zucchini would stick, peppers would shrivel, and mushrooms would vanish into the flames like tiny sacrifices. If you're someone who wants grilled veggies that look like they came from a restaurant patio instead of a campfire accident, this is everything I landed on after three summers of trial and error.
