The Wellness Products I Can’t Live Without When I Travel
Wellness is particularly important to me when I travel, and I’ve previously shared some tips for staying healthy and happy while travelling, here on the blog. I take most of my home wellness routine with me when I travel, because I can, and I because it’s important to me. And while it’s nice to shake things up sometimes, my overall wellness isn’t worth shaking up; so my travel wellness essentials come with me.

5 Tips for Travelling as a Couple
Similar to travelling with friends, there are key things to keep in mind when travelling with your partner. Here are some tips for travelling as a couple.

10 Travel Stretches to Keep Your Body Happy

Travel can be hard on the body. You know what I mean. Stiff neck from falling sleeping with your head at a weird angle (even with a neck pillow!)

Why I’ll Never Have a Capsule Wardrobe, But Why It’s the Perfect Way to Pack
I like to shop with purpose and a capsule wardrobe has always intrigued me, so my friends at Vancouver’s Orb Clothing challenged me to get back to basics and do just that with some staples from their fall/winter collection.

The last few years have been full of road trips. I think I’ve been on seven in the last two years – including last year’s Highlands trip with the girls, and the recent trip the Brit and I took along BC’s Coastal Circle Route to meet some #friendsinbeerplaces.
