Merry Christmas 🤍🎄

If you’re heading out to see family or sneaking away for a little holiday trip, I want to know, are you traveling this Christmas? There’s something about holiday travel that always feels a little extra special.

This year I’m officially converted to BEIS luggage. It’s become my go-to for trips big and small. Durable, thoughtfully designed, and actually easy to travel with. From the wheels to the compartments, it just works the way you want it to when you’re on the move.

Wishing everyone a cozy, joyful Christmas wherever the season takes you ✨

The Aura Frame is one of the most meaningful gifts we’ve given and received. Our kids gave us one, and we loved it so much that we gifted them to my mom and Chris’s mom too.

What makes it perfect for grandparents is how easy it is. You can preload photos before gifting so it’s ready the moment they open it. You can also share the frame with family members, which means everyone can add new photos anytime without asking them to lift a finger.

It’s such a simple way to keep them connected to everyday moments, not just special occasions. And now there’s a wireless version which is officially on my wish list. Thoughtful, personal, and something they’ll actually use every single day.

The Cadence Small and Medium Parcels paired with the Small and Medium Capsules are game changers for organized travel. I love how each capsule clicks magnetically into place so everything stays secure and spill-free. They’re completely customizable, leak-proof, TSA-friendly, and designed to simplify your packing routine.

The small parcel is perfect for daily essentials like skincare, supplements, or jewelry, while the medium parcel gives extra room for makeup or hair care. Both fit perfectly inside your weekender or carry-on and make unpacking a breeze when you arrive.

Styling tip: if your outfit leans neutral, add one patterned accessory like a belt or bag to give the look depth without overwhelming it.

Travel staples I truly swear by. I’ve built my travel setup around Béis because every piece is thoughtfully designed, durable, and actually makes packing easier. From the Weekender and Mini Weekender to the carry-on and large check-in rollers, packing cubes, and toiletry kit, everything works together seamlessly.

What I love most is how functional it all is without sacrificing style. The quality holds up trip after trip, the details are smart, and it keeps me organized whether I’m packing for a weekend away or a longer trip. Once you start with one Béis piece, it’s hard not to keep adding more. ✈️✨

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKTravel #LTKdayinmylife

I’ve been testing out both the Medium (beige) and Large (red) Eachy Travel Makeup Bags and they honestly make such a thoughtful, practical gift. One of those things everyone needs but rarely upgrades for themselves.

🎁 Why it’s a great gift
• Two size options make it easy to choose based on how someone travels or packs
• The lay-flat 180° opening and clear brush compartment make everything visible and organized at a glance
• Waterproof, wipe-clean exterior means spills are no big deal
• Smart pockets keep makeup, skincare, and tools separated and protected
• The Large includes dual zippers for even easier access, which is a nice upgrade detail

✨ How I use them
The Medium is perfect for carry-on only trips, weekends away, or everyday use, while the Large is ideal for longer trips or anyone with a full skincare and makeup routine. I love using different colors so it’s easy to grab the right one for each trip.

If you’re looking for a gift that feels elevated, useful, and well thought out, this is one I’d absolutely recommend. I’ve linked both sizes and color options so you can pick the best fit.

This little plant corner brings me so much joy, especially in the winter months. A mix of sculptural planters and easy, happy greenery instantly brightens the space and adds warmth when everything outside feels gray.
