If you're looking for the ultimate travel personal item, this is it! ✈️🖤

🔗 Comment ‘Travel Tote’ for a link to this bag!!

I've packed everything I need for Europe in my Puffer Tote, and I'm officially obsessed. The waterproof shell helps protect your essentials, while the endless pockets keep everything organized and easy to find.

✨ Features I love:
✔️ Waterproof exterior
✔️ Two exterior pockets for quick-access items
✔️ Two water bottle holders
✔️ Interior mesh pockets + zippered pocket
✔️ Dedicated laptop compartment
✔️ Adjustable luggage sleeve/strap that slides over your suitcase handle
✔️ Removable shoulder strap for comfortable carrying
✔️ Perfect personal-item size for most airlines

No more digging through a bottomless bag at the airport—everything has its place!

Have you tried the Heys Puffer Tote yet?

We are STILL married!! 😅

Marriage isn’t measured by the big moments—it’s measured by how well you work together when there’s a ladder involved. 😂

We’re slowly giving our family room a fresh new look, and it’s amazing how one update from can completely change the feel of a space. Better lighting, better airflow, and a cleaner, more modern look? That’s a win in my books.

The room feels more comfortable year-round, and we may have even finished this project with our sense of humor intact. 😉

What’s the one home project that tested your relationship the most?

2. 🐓 • Arroz con Pollo: rice and chicken dish

This or That? Resort or Downtown Stay?

🏨 Comment ‘City Resort’ for a link 🔗 to this property!!

This resort style hotel had us rethinking our preferences!!

People often comment how isolating a resort is from experiencing the culture of a destination…

Normally, we love a good resort stay but when you can have a resort “feel”, yet be right in the heart of the city where you can legitimately experience more culture… I’m leaning towards the city!!

This was such a delightful stay! We checked in at noon because they had our room ready and we headed to the pool to cool down. Once dinner came we went to one of the many restaurants outside the hotel and had some Panamanian food (ceviche and seafood)!!

We went on excursions each day that picked us up from our hotel, and enjoyed the time outside the hotel! It was so conveniently located!

Breakfast was to die for!! They had Panamanian food, but also Asian dim sum, stews, rice and chicken, pancakes, crepes and so much fruit! There wasn’t a breakfast food they didn’t have… including so many styles of eggs and even smoked salmon!!

It is about 15 min from the airport ($15 Uber ride). We can’t wait to go back again!!

🛌 😴 Comfortable sheets during menopause are a game changer!!

Comment ‘Cozy Earth’ for 30% until June 1 ONLY!
Then 20% off afterwards!

CODE- CE-SONYACOZY

Since I’ve been in menopause, I have been having fitful sleeps primarily due to hot flashes and night sweats! I have gotten so uncomfortable and then once I wake up, sleep often evades me!

It was the best decision to invest in some Cozy Earth sheets. The quality fabric made of Viscose from bamboo keeps you cool and comfortable all night for a better sleep.

Also, the sheets have a satin like finish that is so soft and the colours are fresh and earthy!

They offer a 100 night sleep trial and if you don’t love them, they’ll make it right! However, from day one, I promise you, we noticed a difference… enough to talk about it!

I ended up kissing one 😘 … go figure!

Slow exposure with a guide who knew what he was doing, made the experience a good one.

When I am not ready or warmed up for an experience, it tends to frighten me, but slow exposure with a watchful eye of someone who is experienced is more my style!!

🏝️ Comment “Stingray” for a link 🔗 to this excursion!

I lean towards being more fearful of sea animals… I’m not much for touching fish🐠, turtles🐢, or trusting anything under the sea!

When we decided to do this, the main reason I agreed is because it is one of the most popular excursions and has been for years! That doesn’t mean I didn’t have a little trepidation going into it! 😂

The first snorkelling experience we snorkelled above them and watched them from a distance and then we had an opportunity to get really close later on. By then, the guides did everything slowly and only did what we were comfortable with.

I was the second in line to hold the stingray and it turned out to be not as scary as I thought… just like most of my fears turn out to be!

It was an excellent experience and highly recommend it for Grand Cayman!

Free Breakfast 🥞 is always a win for me!

I love finding a comfortable and affordable pre-cruise hotel in destination! Here is what I look for!!

1. Clean and great reviews!!! I can handle dated but I can’t handle dirty!
2. Free shuttle from the airport.
3. They offer a shuttle from the hotel to the cruise port for a decent price. ($10-12 pp). It means it is in good proximity of the cruise port.
4. Free breakfast. 🍳
5. In a safe area of town.
6. Within walking distance of essential shopping (pharmacy, grocery store) and good restaurants.
7. Possibly a pool if you are arriving at check in (3pm).
8. Affordable! If you are just staying the evening and won’t use most of the facilities, don’t pay for a hotel with many facilities!
9. Late check-in’s (in case your flight comes in late… BUT remember to call ahead and get them to confirm they will save your room).

What’s your number 1 priority with your hotel?
