Sun Protection Basics

Summer is here which means the temperatures are warmer and the sun is stronger than ever. I have to admit, I took sun protection for granted for a really long time.

Travel: How To Pack a Carry-On

When it comes to packing, I have to say that I’ve developed my own Marie Kondo-esque system. I used to be that girl who had to take a massive suitcase with her anytime she got on a plane. Whenever I returned home, I realized I didn’t use or wear HALF of what I had taken…
