good luggage.
y’all, it is hard to find.
when we were getting ready for our sibling trip i knew i that we needed luggage that would be easily packed, sturdy, and able to pass the strict european carry-on luggage regulations (man it is ridiculous!).
i wanted to avoid the checked baggage fees that are notorious in europe (and the hassle of having to wait for our luggage at the carousels). i did a lot of hunting and found a lot of options that were nice, but i seemed to be sacrificing something; whether it was the look, the size, the material, etc.
then it was like the internet took me through 1,000 rabbit trails until i found exactly what i needed.
tom bihn.
this is THE BEST travel luggage i’ve ever had in my life.
to be perfectly honest, i’ll be using this luggage whenever i travel (anywhere, local or out of the country) because it is SO sturdy, beautiful, functional, and on point.

the fact that we were able to fit an entire 9 days of traveling to ireland & scotland in ONE bag each was something i never thought was possible. all of the compartments and the packing cubes we used to streamline our clothing – saved so much space (or i should say it gave me so much space to stuff it full).

the main piece of luggage we used….the. bomb. dot. com.
why yes, i definitely just said that, bring back the 90s lingo please!
we both got an aeronaut 45 . one of the things i loved about these bags (other than everything else i’m about to say) was the colors! they are customizable! my bag was aubergine on the outside and wasabi on the inside (gorgeous!) and lando’s was burnt orange on the outside with a steel interior.
you can see both of our bags on my instagram.
i think the best feature for this bag (other than the awesome material and STRONG zippers) is the THREE, yes i just said three, ways you can carry this bag. you can use the messenger strap, you can tuck the strap away or un-clip it and just carry it using the top handles (or the sides, i did that a few times), or unzip the back of the bag, pull out the straps, and clip them in and use it as a backpack.
YES A BACKPACK.
talk about that being awesome when you literally have 15 minutes to run all the way across the dublin airport to catch your flight.

we also used our packing cube backpacks every. single. day.
they were great for carrying around my camera, snacks, water bottles, wallet, and other goodies.
not to mention it was fantastic with keeping my stuff dry during our big hike.
the backpack was light, easy to roll up if needed, and HUGE – it fit sooo much stuff (at one point i think it had: my camera, wallet, 4 water bottles, a box of protein bars, two rain jackets, my phone, trail mix, a present, and a change of clothes.)


our luggage must haves:
bag – aeronaut 45
3-D clear organizing cube (these were PERFECT for security checkpoints)
packing cubes
packing cube backpack

all luggage was provided to me c/o tom bihn. all opinions, raves, and images are my own. i would highly recommend this company and product to anyone looking to better their traveling experience.

I have found myself reading a lot lately. It's my I have found myself reading a lot lately. It's my escape to get out of the house, travel, meet new people, and cross things off of my imaginative bucket list. We all know that this last year has been incredibly weird and  hard and we're still walking through it. 

⌓

I'm currently listening to the audiobook version of "The House in the Cerulean Sea" by @tjklunebooks & y'all it's so good. I'm always a fan of fantasy and this one is just a fun read. 

⌓

What is a book (or series) you've read recently that you LOVE and love recommending to others? I would love to add more to my list of books to dive into!

Haven't been feeling too 🔥 today so both cats h Haven't been feeling too 🔥 today so both cats have been snuggling and cuddling to bring some peace. 

As much as they can annoy me it's moments like this that remind me how happy I am for their fluffy butts. 

PS - life has been interesting lately (some amazing things, some great, some overwhelming, some scary, some frustrating) so I just haven't really felt like being super present on any social media or my blog. I still scroll and try to check in with all of you. 🖤
I laid in bed this morning staring at pinterest an I laid in bed this morning staring at pinterest and instagram of homes that bring me so much inspiration. I love our home and am so thankful for it, yet I find myself with all these ideas of what we should do next. 
⌓
It's hard to make certain changes knowing we have another period of time where we won't live here and someone else will (military PCSing within a few years). So full renovations of the kitchen and bathrooms more than likely won't happen because sometimes people don't take care of things they way you would. 
⌓
So If you need me I'll be dreaming of ways we can continue making our house a home while we are here.

⋒ The words you say to yourself act as scaffolding around your sense of worthiness. 
Every kind and gentle word protects your worthiness. Every criticism and invalidation tears it down.
Assemble thoughtfully. ⋒

I was just talking to a friend today about the amount of time I've spent emotionally hating xyz about myself is exhausting and so wasteful. I've been working on a perspective shift over the last few months (still a daily process) and there really is something to be said about being the cheerleader for your own body and mind. If we all loved ourselves and were kind to ourselves just a little more who knows how the world would change.

Man oh man, life sure is interesting right now and Man oh man, life sure is interesting right now and I've been tresging through the waters of growth and finding myself incredibly tired. 

I'm always amazed at how my mind can so intensely focus on one thing and everything else ebbs and flows and I can accidently press pause on something that is equally important. While I've always prided myself as being an excellent multi-tasker I'm coming to learn that sometimes I really need to just focus on one thing at a time and it's ok (and a lesson in grace) to let the other things happen more slowly. 

What is something you're learning right now?
