Travel Hack: How to Pack Your Jewelry

28 January 2018 No Comments

If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know that I always travel light. My hack for packing jewelry securely for travel is using pill boxes.
Why Pill Boxes?
Secure
Many travel jewelry cases are soft fabric. While they are gentle on your delicate jewelry, I don’t find them to be as secure when I smush them into my carry on. I think hard cases and ensuring that nothing touches each piece of jewelry, is what’s important. By using a pill box, each jewelry has it’s own space.
🗝 Tip: For extra delicate pieces, wrap in silk or tissue before placing in the pillbox.

My Daily Skincare Routine

14 January 2018 No Comments

Skincare has forever been an obsession of mine. I had acne and excessively oily skin when I was very young and started learning everything I could about products, procedures, medications and diets for healthy skin. My skin has evolved over the past 20+ years and my quest for knowledge now includes dealing with wrinkles, sensitivity and in some areas, dry skin. Because of my large pores and some residual acne scarring (I just can’t catch a break!), my current skincare routine focuses on cell turnover and getting glowy skin to diffuse attention away from my flaws.
My skincare routine constantly evolves as I try new products and replace current products with more effective ones.

You’ll never guess where I had the best food in Reykjavik, Iceland. Maybe some of the best food ever. And, for being one of the most expensive countries in the world, it was actually very cheap.
Food carts.
Reykjavik has some fantastic food carts! One hot dog cart in particular was rated Top 5 Best Street Food Stands in Europe by The Guardian. I highly recommend you check out this article from Iceland Magazine. In fact, print it out and bring it with you. It’s basically a directory of all Reykjavik food carts with descriptions, addresses and business hours.
