I like to travel when I can, to get away from the everyday grind. When I plan a vacation I like to travel light, especially when I am going to the airport. I will be traveling soon in December, and I wanted to share a few items that will be in my carry-on (as that will be the only thing I am bringing). Hopefully, some of these items will help you for your next trip! Obviously, I won't be packing all of these items that would be a lot, hahaha, but some of these items will be included in my luggage and some items I have packed during prior vacations, just depends on the location and activities. ****Note I am an Amazon Affiliate and will earn a small commission off of Amazon purchases.****

I wanted to share some of my favorite stores to shop from clothing, accessories, home and lifestyle, and more. Hopefully, these stores will give you new ideas and inspiration. I mostly shop online because it's not always easy to get to these stores as I live in an area that only has the basics, and I have to travel about an hour to get to the fancy stores or malls, but here are some of my favorites. I like stores that have a variety as well as quality of goods and items to choose from. I hope you find something new! Some of the shops I have listed may ship internationally as well and not just the USA.

I love nail polish! I have an actual drawer designated just for all my nail polish, hahaha! Essie happens to be my favorite brand. Although a bit on the spendy side, it does last longer than some of the other brands I have in my nail polish drawer. Here are some of my favorites!

I wanted to create a neutral and cozy list for holiday themes decor. Cozy neutral decor creates a sanctuary from the outside world, fostering a sense of warmth, peace, and security within our personal space. Cozy aesthetics prioritize comfort and well-being, using soft textures, warm lighting, and familiar, natural elements to create an environment that feels welcoming and restorative. Decorating with soft blankets, inviting mugs, and comforting scents is a deliberate act of self-care, transforming a house into a true home where one can relax, recharge, and enjoy life's simple, comforting moments. I hope you enjoy some of the items I have to share and some that are actually in my own wish list for this holiday season. ****Note I am an Amazon Affiliate and will earn a small commission off of Amazon purchases.****

Embrace a boho home aesthetic to create a free-spirited, layered, and utterly cozy sanctuary. Think warm, earthy color palettes mixed with vibrant jewel tones, and plush macrame wall hangings. Layering textiles—from patterned rugs and embroidered pillows to soft knit throws—is essential, all complementing vintage finds and handcrafted wooden furniture. The result is a personal, eclectic space that feels well-traveled, lived-in, and deeply comfortable.Embrace a boho home aesthetic to create a free-spirited, layered, and utterly cozy sanctuary.

The secret to an awesome DIY spa day is all in the details, starting with the right vibe. Slip on a pair of cozy socks—they instantly signal to your body that it's time to fully relax and also lock in any foot cream you've used. Pair that with some calming spa music to instantly drown out everyday noise and help your nervous system unwind. And don't forget your herbal tea; the warmth of the mug and the soothing aroma create a mindful moment that helps you de-stress and treat your body from the inside out, making the whole experience feel like a genuine, luxurious escape. Here are some spa essentials that I have at home that I absolutely love! ****Note I am an Amazon Affiliate and will earn a small commission off of Amazon purchases.****

I love creating and designing new graphics for clothing and home/living items. I currenI love creating and designing new graphics for clothing and home/living items. I currently use elements on Canva to create something of my own. I truly enjoy it and have a lot of fun when curating these designs. Another thing I love to do is photography. I currently live in Minnesota, and I actually live right by a river and woods, so, I have ample wildlife to photograph, even when I don’t decide to travel to take pictures. I have always had a passion for art since I was very young, coloring, drawing, painting, and most of all photography. I love art so much that I took almost every art class in high school. So, I do really enjoy it! I am creating new pieces of art all the time. I decided to open a pop-up store through Printify for those that would like to purchase some of my creations. Most of the item I have listed in my store I have purchased myself, so I got to see how they turned out. I hope you find something you like, and I really appreciate your support!

Traveling opens the door to endless adventures, from relaxing on sun-soaked beaches and exploring vibrant city streets to hiking breathtaking trails and discovering hidden cultural gems. Whether you’re chasing excitement, craving relaxation, or seeking inspiration, there’s always a place to explore or something new to do that can create unforgettable memories.

I absolutely love tropical-scented beauty products because they instantly transport you to a warm, sunny paradise with every use. The refreshing notes of coconut, pineapple, mango, or passionfruit create a vacation-like escape, bringing feelings of relaxation and joy. These scents not only uplift the mood but also add a touch of exotic luxury to a daily routine, making skincare or haircare feel like a mini getaway.

As a childhood cancer survivor myself, I wanted to put together a list of items that you can implement into a comfort care kit or give as a gift for a loved one, a friend, or maybe you just want to put something together for someone that has cancer just to brighten their day a little. I know these small little bundles of items meant a lot to me and definitely put a smile on my face when I received them. It also makes patients feel like they are cared about. This doesn't just need to be for cancer patients either. Any patient in the hospital needs a pick me up, and one small act of kindness, such as a care kit or thoughtful gift, can go a long way. I will continue to add more if I think of some other items to share. Here are some thoughtful items to get you stared.

You may have to get creative when it comes to adopting a Maine Coon, which my include their food, toys, bedding and etcetera, being everything out there is usually for a normal cats size and not the gentle giant.

I love the fall season because it feels like the coziest time of year. The crisp air, colorful leaves, and warm fall colors make everything so beautiful and inviting. I enjoy the comforting scents of cinnamon, apples, and pumpkins filling the air, and of course, sipping on pumpkin spiced lattes while wrapped in a soft blanket. Fall also brings fun traditions like carving pumpkins, dressing up for Halloween, and gathering around bonfires with friends. It’s the perfect time for cozy sweaters and cardigans, relaxing movie nights, and enjoying the simple comfort that autumn always seems to bring. Here is a list to inspire you this season!

Arts and crafts are a wonderful way to express creativity, relax, and make something truly unique with your own hands. Whether it’s painting, knitting, scrapbooking, clay sculpting, or DIY home décor, crafting allows you to explore new ideas while creating pieces that bring joy and personality into your life. With just a few basic supplies, you can dive into endless projects that are not only fun but also rewarding and often therapeutic. ****Note I am an Amazon Affiliate and will earn a small commission off of Amazon purchases.****
