Hello everyone! Once again, due to my lack of travel this week, I have been coming up with different a fun blog posts to work into the rotation for when I’m not on the road and my day to day may not have too many interesting things to share. So that brings me to Things I’m Loving Thursday! This is just a quick opportunity for me to share some things that I am loving that you may be interested in and some things that make my life when traveling a little bit easier! So let’s dive in!
Malibu Swimmer’s Care Shampoo & Conditioner
This was something that my hair stylist recently recommended to me and I love it! I was a competitive swimmer for years – from Middle School through college – and I still enjoy swimming laps for exercise. However, the chemicals in pools really do a number on my already course hair and I wanted to make sure that I was taking care of it properly without having to sacrifice on of my favorite forms of exercise.
This shampoo & conditioner duo does a great job of removing the harsh chemicals and salts found in pool water and helping my hair stay hydrated after a swim. I also use the Swimmer’s Care Wellness Remedy, which are powders that you mix with water and use to effectively cleanse your hair of the chemicals. I wash my hair with the shampoo & conditioner after every swim, but only use the remedy about once a week as an extra step to keep my hair healthy. You can check out the Swimmer’s Care bundle that I buy <a href="http://<a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/{{staticTextLinkDestination}}/B01KYLE17M/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B01KYLE17M&linkCode={{linkCode}}&tag=travelingby0d-20&linkId={{link_id}}">{{link_text}}</a>" data-type="URL" data-id="<a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/{{staticTextLinkDestination}}/B01KYLE17M/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B01KYLE17M&linkCode={{linkCode}}&tag=travelingby0d-20&linkId={{link_id}}">{{link_text}}here!
DipWell Nail Kit
I love having my nails done, especially with the dip powder. Living life on the road presents a unique challenge with keeping up with my nails though. When I’m traveling to a new place I want to spend my time exploring and eating. I don’t necessarily want to use valuables hours of daylight sitting in the salon chair. My sister-in-law introduced me to these nail kits during the pandemic and, I’ll be honest, I was not a fan at first. However, after practicing a few times I got the hang of it and this is the only way I maintain my nails now!
You build your own kit on their website and it comes with all the necessary items to do your own manicure. You then have the option to pick 3 or 6 different colors based on your preferences and they have a large variety to choose from.
This has been a game-changer for me and it also saves SO MUCH money. The cost of the starter kit is what I would pay to get my nails done only once, but now I can do my nails over and over agin for the same price! It’s definitely`worth checking out. If you follow my referral code here, you will then get a $10 credit to use on your next order which covers the cost for a new dip color!
TRIPPIE App
I originally found this app while watching an episode of Shark Tank. It was created by a college student who wanted to help make airport navigation a little bit easier. There are a wide range of airports available on this app across the U.S. and Canada. When you choose an airport you can view a map of the terminals, the different dining locations available in each terminal, and there is a chat forum to connect with other people in the airport the same time as you. This has greatly helped me with finding my way around airports. I don’t have to try to navigate that specific airports website. I can just pick which one on the app and view the map, as well as, find somewhere to grab a bite. I haven’t used the chat forum as I do enjoy my solo travel and am not looking to make friends at the airport, but I know some social butterflies that would love this feature! The app is free so check it out!
Kuju Coffee Single Pour Over Packets
If you are on-the-go often and prefer pour over coffee, you have to order some of these! They come in a variety of different roasts and are so easy to use! You simply tear open the top and use the anchors to place over the top of your mug. Your hot water into the packet and voila! you have a cup of pour over coffee!
I love to travel with these and I’m never going back! I have traveled to some locations where a coffee shop is not open or available before I have to begin meeting with clients and maybe all that is available is the coffee machine inside my hotel room. I am not a fan of hotel room coffee as it always tastes too watered down for me and these Kuju Coffee packets were the PERFECT solution, and so easy to use too!
2 Months of Marriage
Yes I know this may not fit in with the other times on the list, but I sure am loving marriage. I got married shortly before launching this blog and it’s been a wonderful 2 months. We started off marriage a little different with me traveling as often as I do, but I couldn’t pick a better partner to support me in everything I do!
So enough with the sappy words….I hope you enjoyed this different than normal blog post and maybe found some new things to check out along the way! See you tomorrow for Foodie Friday!
