This 40L travel backpack ended up being one of my favorite travel finds. It fits way more than it looks, has a laptop sleeve, slides onto a suitcase handle, and kept me organized through airport days without feeling bulky. It served as my carry-on item and held almost my entire wardrobe for 12 days of travel! If you’re tired of overpacking into tiny personal-item bags, this one is worth a look. #affiliate

My Eye Area Before & After (7 Weeks)

I’ve been consistently using these two products since late April and wanted to share my progress photos.

The lash growth is obvious to me, especially with mascara, but I’m also really happy with how hydrated and smooth my under-eye area looks compared to where I started.

*Lighting is different. 1st photo at night because I was excited about getting the lash serum sample! 2nd pic mid afternoon. 3rd pic morning. Both products are linked below. I may earn commission from purchases. Both products were gifted to me.

This outfit has seen a lot lately. 😅

From Norway to local adventures, these Old Navy pieces keep ending up in my suitcase and on repeat. Comfortable, easy to move in, and affordable enough that I don’t stress about getting a little dirt on them.

This was my outfit for a day hiking the Konza Prairie. You already know I carry my bum bag everywhere. It held my Brumate so I was hands free the entire hike.

Everything is linked if you’re interested.

Norway Rain Gear That Earned Its Spot in My Suitcase

Norway taught me to never trust the weather forecast. ☔🇳🇴

These rain jackets came with us everywhere and ended up being some of the most-used items we packed. Lightweight, easy to throw on, and exactly what we needed for rainy days exploring.

I’ve linked our rain gear for anyone planning a trip or looking for practical outerwear.

Sizing: 12 year old daughter is in a women's medium so she has room to wear it over sweaters and it lasts a while. 8 year old son is in a medium and hubby is in a 2xl.

Norway outfit diary 🇳🇴

This was one of my favorite sightseeing outfits from Oslo. Comfortable layers, a crossbody bag, and supportive shoes made long days of exploring so much easier.

Norway had me stopping every few minutes to take another photo. 🇳🇴

Comfortable layers, comfortable shoes, and sunglasses were essentials for this trip. This view over the fjord was even more incredible in person.

Everyday Eye Cream That Passed the Travel Test

Travel, dry airplane air, and a 7-hour time difference usually show up under my eyes first. I packed this for Norway and it kept my under-eye area feeling hydrated and refreshed throughout the trip.

What I love most is that I don’t save it just for travel. It’s already part of my daily skincare routine because it’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and layers well under makeup.

A daily staple that earned a spot in my travel bag too. I may earn commission from purchases.

Portable Shaved Ice Maker for Summer Fun

This portable shaved ice maker turns a frozen ice puck into fluffy shaved ice in about 60 seconds. I love that it’s cordless and rechargeable, making it easy to take to the pool, camping, road trips, or the backyard. You can use classic syrups or make a lower-sugar version with 100% fruit juice for a fun summer treat. #affiliate

The Anti-Theft Travel Bag We Trusted for Norway

LTK Caption:
We bought this bag for the security features, and it ended up being one of the most-used items on our Norway trip. My husband carried it every day, keeping all 4 passports, his wallet, meds, and reading glasses organized and easy to access.

What sold us was the anti-theft design: RFID-blocking fabric, a hidden pocket against your body, a slash-resistant steel-reinforced strap, and a locking buckle for extra peace of mind. Bonus: it stayed dry through Bergen’s rainy weather, too.

Even though Norway felt incredibly safe, having one secure place for our important items made traveling so much easier.

I linked it and other options.

The Comfy Skort I’m Living In This Summer

Found a skort that feels like athletic shorts but looks a little more put together. 🙌

I’ve been on a comfort-first kick lately, and this one checks all the boxes: lightweight, easy to style, and perfect for errands, travel days, or chasing kids around all summer long.

Paired it with a simple blue tee for an effortless outfit I’ll actually wear on repeat.

Old Navy Finds Under $20

Found some cute basics at Old Navy that are actually affordable. ☀️

The lavender tank is one of those wear-with-everything staples, and the graphic tee paired with the lace-trim shorts is such a comfy summer combo.

These are the pieces that end up getting worn way more than the trendy stuff.

The Summer-to-Fall Layer I’ll Wear on Repeat

This lightweight open-knit sweater immediately caught my eye. 🤎

It’s perfect for cool summer nights now and will be an easy grab with jeans and booties when fall rolls around. I love finding pieces that work across seasons instead of sitting in my closet for a few months.

Stopped into Old Navy and found some surprisingly cute summer pieces for just $12 during their 2-day sale! ☀️

The olive swing dress has pockets, the blue floral dress is giving summer picnic vibes, and the striped shorts are lightweight and perfect for hot days.

At these prices, it’s hard to leave with just one piece. 😅

Comfortable Sightseeing Outfit for Travel Days

This is exactly the kind of outfit I pack for exploring a new city. Comfortable leggings, an oversized tunic sweatshirt (and this one has zippered sides so you can wear it loose and cozy on the plane or unzip it for a more flattering, flowy fit while exploring), supportive sneakers, and a crossbody bum bag that keeps my essentials close. Cute enough for photos, comfortable enough for miles of walking.

Wearing a large in both bottoms and top. 5'4" 175lbs.

#LTKootd #LTKTravel #LTKMidsize

Comfort is always the goal on travel days. This outfit kept me comfortable through airports, flights, and long travel days without sacrificing style. The bright blue leggings add a fun pop of color (and have pockets), and every piece is easy to mix and match for future trips. 5'4" wearing a large bottom and medium top. #affiliate
