I'd been wanting to add a solid vegan moto jacket to my collection for a while, and found a great deal at work! If you're looking for one too, Zara has a great version, check it out!
People are dying, Trump is President, and the storms are getting bigger and bigger. It's no wonder I question my role on this planet often. Why am I here? What am I doing to help? The truth is, our personal choices are just that, personal. Some of us march and get loud and that is SO necessary and vital in our world right now. Some of us don't, and that's ok too.
When you report for duty everyday, whether you're teaching young minds, taking care of your family, or delivering packages, YOU are part of the equation that keeps us all going. We need each other guys. For me, sharing my tips and little slices of life with you and the dialog that happens because of it, gives me comfort and hopefully provides a nice escape from a somewhat unpredictable state of affairs. When we share, we become vulnerable, and in that vulnerability, we are comforted. I think that's one of the reasons social media is important to so many. I also believe that watching The Rock scale a burning building to save his family is just as important as watching the 6 o'clock news. It's actually more important to me right now because I know The Rock is going to come out alivewith one kid on his back and holding his wife's hand. On the other hand, the news just has too many wild cards. I hope the message I'm sending with this is clear, I am not advocating complacency. I simply feel overwhelmed at times and believe some of you do too. I spoke with my dad this morning and he said something that just clicked. It is important for us to be kind to one another, show compassion and lift each other up. So whether you're on your way to your next rally or doing a Target run, please remember smile at a stranger and know that you've done your tiny part. Thanks for reading, NikkiPin It
Hi beautiful people! I'm feeling grateful this morning as I write this entry. My lovely brother planned a surprise weekend get away for a few friends, including one of my sisters and one of my nieces. He took care of everything and it was just magical.
As soon as I found out, I decided that I wanted to pack light. FOR REAL this time. I jumped onto Pinterest and started updating a curated collection of 'travel looks' and 'how to pack' articles. After I felt a little more confident, I started to pull some basics.
A warm sweater/sweatshirt, because no matter where you travel, you end up cold at one point.
A scarf for the plane that will keep you warm, act as a protective mask when 15 out of 45 passengers start coughing, and also become a cute head wrap when your hair becomes unmanageable.
Comfortable sweats and tights that will keep you cozy on the plane and, let's face it, double as pjs.
A pair of your favorite jeans, because, jeans.
A satin bomber that can go from day to night.
Then I started to layer in some tops that are lightweight and could be worn with everything. A tank, a mesh blouse, a lightweight sweatshirt and a lightweight message T.
Finally, the accessories.
A pair of pumps, sneakers and boots.
A cozy pair of socks.
A cute medium size purse that can go from day to evening.
I went through my makeup bag, pulled only the items I use and transferred them into a smaller zipped pouch along with a few pins, elastics, and any medication I may need.
All of it fit into a small Herschel backpack!! I will never go back to packing the old way. There were so many options and I was comfortable all weekend.
Check out a few looks below, I hope this helps you if you struggle with over/under packing.
