Sharing outfit idea + travel tips for your next trip to escape the winter!
Let me be the first to say that I do not travel often. My work as a blogger and waitress means I spend at lot of my time either working at a restaurant or in front of a computer. However, for the first week of 2020 I got a chance to go away for the week to sunny Jamaica! As such, I wanted to share my winter getaway style + travel tips for you to use for your next trip to escape the cold!
Avoid overpacking by packing only what is necessary
My boyfriend is one of the most incredible minimalists I know. For our week long trip to Jamaica, he only had a carry bag pack. That’s right – one carry on for the entire week! You can follow his example by considering the following when you are packing:
Your location: are you going some place warm or cold? If you are going somewhere tropical, pack more bathing suits and cover-ups.
Toiletries: are you staying at a resort? A house? Some of your toiletries items you can get there instead of packing in your bag.
Chargers: what do you need them for? Your phone, camera, laptop?
Below is a image that you can download for as an easy reference guide!
Petite friendly swimsuit options
I did a lot of a last minute packing for this trip. Thanks to Amazon, I was able to get some new swimsuits quickly like the one I am wearing. **IMPORTANT** this suit is a set. Sadly, you cannot switch out a small top for a medium bottom so keep this in mind. In these images I am wearing a size S but I will be exchanging it for a size M.
When it comes to traveling, it’s important to dress properly. You want to make sure you are comfortable. For me, that is a a warm sweater, a pair of jeans (for me, thats comfort lol) and ankle boots. Under my sweater, I had a camisole shirt so that I could take off my sweater once we arrived to warmer weather (the fans on the plane might also make you cold so keep this in mind). Remember: comfort is key.
Sharing my first time experience with WINC and why I believe their subscription is the best gift for the wine lover in your life! Plus, learn more about how you can get $22 off your first box!
Do you like wine but not know much about it? Me too! That’s why when WINC reached out to me about their wine subscription service, my natural curiosity was sparked. Subscriptions seems to be the best kind of gifts you can give these days. Whether it’s for pet lovers or beauty enthusiasts, gifting a subscription is a fun gift to receive during any time of the year. Today I am dedicating a post sharing the best gift for the wine lover in your life that you can gift for the holidays or any time of the year.
Getting started
The process is super simple. If you are like me, I had no idea what to get beyond Sauvignon Blanc and Rose. WINC has a palette test that you take which matches you up with wines that you are most likely to enjoy based on your taste preferences. Once you have picked your wines, you simply put in your address and payment information, then you are done!
Receiving my box in the mail
My box came within 3 days of my order. Keep in mind that when your box is delivered it does have to be signed off by someone at least 21+ or older. WINC was amazing at keep my updated with when my order was coming.
My experience
Of course I was thrilled to try a new bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. It has also been a lot of fun getting to try new wines that I would never have tried before. WINC also provided a welcome packet inside my subscription box that has allowed me to learn more about wine and the science behind it. I truly believe that WINC is the best gift for the wine lover in your life. Whether they are a long time lover of wine or they are someone that is looking to try someone new, this is a subscription that is sure to please!
Special offer
If you are looking to give the gift of WINC this year, I have a special offer for you. You can get $22 off your first box! Keep in mind that this is a MEMBERSHIP and will require you to enter in a credit card to charge you each month. You can cancel your subscription anytime!

It’s finally here! Today I am sharing 5 reasons why pajamas make the best gifts! Pajamas are not only fun to gift but also super also super thoughtful. This gift idea is sure to help ease the stress of the holidays.
1. No guilt.
If you have a large family like I do, often you are exchanging gifts way before Christmas arrives. So you can give a cute pair of pajamas as a gift that your loved ones will enjoy all season long!
2. Your Christmas photos will be amazing!
Nothing beats opening gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day – especially with festive pj’s! I even got matching Mickey and Minnie Pj’s from The Disney Store for my boyfriend and I to wear. Can you say photo op? 😉
3. They are great for layering.
Do you remember when you were a kid and your mom would have you layer up with your pj’s from time to time? I use some of my pj’s as under shirts or a second layer with my pants in the winter. It’s a simple hack that works at any age!
4. They are budget friendly.
The great thing about pajamas is that you can find a great pair at reasonable prices that will not hurt your budget. Or you can gift luxury ones from brands like Kate Spade or Nordstrom. Either way, this cozy and comfy gift will be sure to keep your wallet happy and your loved ones even happier.
5. The start a fun, family tradition.
By giving your friends and family holiday pajamas, they may get some for the rest of the family too! There are some many cute family holiday pajama sets out there like this Mickey and Minnie family set, this set from the Disney store and this one from Macy’s.
Don’t forget slippers and socks for extra comfort! Lauren Conrad has some adorable new slippers from her line at Kohls. Plus, everyone loves some soft socks when they are relaxing in their pj’s. 😉

These are especially great for new home/apartment owners!
When it comes to unique gifts, our active friends can be a challenge. We all have that one friend/family member that is super active. Even when it’s freezing outside, they insist on staying active. If you have a friend who is a runner, these night runner lightswill keep them safe, lighting their path (plus helps them finish their run in case the sun sets early on them).
Our pets are a big part of our lives. If your loved one has a fur baby, these gifts will be sure to surprise them! Gifts like this customized pet illustration give a fun addition to the walls of any home. Simply send in a picture and the artists re-creates their photo into an illustration! This leak proof dog bowl is also a great gift to give (and it is under $30). My favorite gift for kitties by far is this DJ Cat Scratching Padthat is under $40 and is sure to give some laughs when your family and friends open it!
