Chasadie's 6 day before & after!

Please stop your scroll for a moment to check out Chasadie's before & after! This is 6 days! 🤯

Read what Chasadie has to say:

"Opening up about this isn’t easy, but if it helps someone else, it’s worth it.

At 43, I was struggling with stubborn belly fat. I felt frustrated, stuck, and had tried so many products with no results. But with LEAN, I felt different from Day 1.

The bloating is gone, my sweet tooth is under control, and no more junk-food cravings! I’m actually reaching for grapes instead of Cheez-Its, nachos or Reese Cups 👏🏻

For the first time, I’m seeing real change. When I looked at my progress pics, I couldn’t believe the change in 6 days and literally said, ‘holy $hit!’ And now, when I look down, I see my boobs instead of my belly! 🙌"

If you’re like Chasadie and looking for a solution also, comment LEAN! Another product drop is happening soon and I’d love to help you! Interested in the business opportunity? Comment JOIN!

Don’t forget to pair LEAN with FIT and HYDRATED for maximum results!

I am HYDRATED!

Do you currently have a bottle of water alongside a cup of coffee or a Diet Coke? Do you know that 𝘤𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘦 and 𝘴𝘶𝘨𝘢𝘳 actually 𝘥𝘦𝘩𝘺𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 you?!

Hydration is more than just drinking liquids and not all liquids are created equal. Most people aren't drinking nearly enough H2O!

You already know that staying hydrated is vital, but do you understand the distinction between water and electrolytes, and why both are key to our well-being?

💦 Water: It's essential for hydration and is crucial for the proper functioning of our cells. As the body's primary component, it plays a significant role in digestion, regulating body temperature, and transporting nutrients.

⚡️ Electrolytes: These electrically charged minerals, including sodium, potassium, and magnesium, are necessary for maintaining fluid balance, supporting nerve function, and facilitating muscle contractions.

Do you know:

💧75% of people are chronically dehydrated.

💧68% experience fatigue due to poor hydration.

💧40% report skin dryness caused by inadequate water intake, which can lead to fine lines and wrinkles.

💧30% suffer from frequent muscle cramps.

💧32% of athletes are exercising in a dehydrated state.

HYDRATED by MAKE Wellness is far better than water alone for many reasons!

💦 It primes our body to exploit the full benefits of Bioactive Precision Peptides by optimizing hydration and electrolyte balance.
💦 It will also replenish our essential minerals without artificial dyes or sugar, supporting overall wellness and energy levels.

True hydration fuels your active lifestyle. Hydrated delivers ionic minerals and coconut water powder for better absorption and peak performance.

Upgrade your water. Available to customers starting on November 5th!

I am ENERGIZED!

Are you envious of the people who appear to have an endless supply of energy?

Now, you can too without multiple cups of coffee or unhealthy energy drinks! ☕️

A single dose of ENERGIZED gives you:

⚡️Increased energy production at the cellular level
⚡️Support of the adrenal gland function
⚡️Involved ATP production and energy metabolism
⚡️Maintenance of mental performance under stress
⚡️Reduction of mental fatigue
⚡️Preservation of glycogen storage to be used for energy
⚡️Positive influences in mood and motivation
⚡️Increased alertness and reduced fatigue
⚡️Sustained release: no rapid spike or crash

➡️ If those benefits weren't enough, check out the efficacy claims and clinical trials:

💫Increases serotonin and dopamine levels to increase energy
💫Supports adrenal gland function, balances cortisol levels
💫Improves cognitive performance
💫Reduces mental fatigue
💫Improved energy without the jitters
💫95% confidence interval in RCTs
💫Production of ATP energy
💫pH regulation in the body
💫Maintains mental performance under stress
💫Sustained release natural caffeine which does not negatively affect caffeine metabolism

Clean energy, no crashes!

I am CALM!

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm stressed the F out and at night my head starts spinning.

As a person who internalizes a lot of extra stress, these stats did not surprise me.

💜 1 in 3 adults will experience an anxiety disorder at some point during their live

💜 24% of adults have a perceived stress level above an 8 on a scale of 10

💜 66% of adults are anxious about their health

💜 70% of adults are worried about their safety 

💜 34% of adults report feeling that stress is completely overwhelming for them on most days

If you can relate to any of these stats, then you need CALM!🧘🏼‍♀️

CALM is a mindful, easy solution that provides precision support in an on-the-go pixie stick like pack, with a refreshing lemon citrus flavor that melts in your mouth! You'll feel like a warm, weighted blanket is being draped over your shoulders. You can grab a stick during stressful situations or use it in the evenings to wind down before bed for a more restful night of sleep.

It combines four powerful ingredients:
🧘🏼‍♀️ Ashwaghandha
🧘🏼‍♀️ Lemon Balm Extract
🧘🏼‍♀️ GABA
🧘🏼‍♀️ L-Theanine

CALM is designed to naturally lower cortisol, reduce stress, and help balance stress hormones for relaxation without drowsiness. CALM also supports mental well-being and provides both immediate and long-term benefits.

What you need to know about peptides...

What you need to know about peptides...

Peptides communicate with our body chemistry, directing cellular pathways towards regeneration targeting:

✨ Sleep
✨ Energy
✨ Longevity
✨ Stress
✨ Beauty

Synthetic peptides need to be injected because they're unstable. They have a reaction that causes a feedback loop that causes the body to stop producing this thing. Examples of synthetic peptides are Ozempic, Insulin and Testosterone.

The bond in bioactive peptides are strong, can be ingested, and can survive the digestive tract. Bioactive peptides do not cause a feedback loop reaction so the body is not told to stop producing that thing.

MAKE Wellness conducted human clinical trials, using full clinical doses, and not one adverse event was reported. We're keeping these products as natural and unprocessed as humanly possible. 

More benefits of bioactive peptides:

🚫 No needles
🚫 No outrageous costs
🚫 No doctor visits
🚫 No insurance
🚫 No prescriptions

✅ Easily accessible
✅ Budget friendly
✅ Delivered to your door
✅ Science backed and clinically tested for real results

Enrollment is open now and starting November 1st websites will be open for our first customer orders.

But what exactly are peptides?

If DNA is a lock, peptides are the key! 🔐

But what exactly are peptides?

Let’s break it down…

Peptides are naturally occurring in the human body, and we know of at least 7,000 peptides. They're molecules consisting of amino acids and deliver messages to our cells and DNA. DNA is a matrix of inactive information waiting for peptides to deliver a message of either up-regulating or down-regulating genes.

MAKE Wellness is launching first of its kind, bioactive precision peptides - cell signaling peptides from nature that work symbiotically with our body to help send healing signals & provide optimal body function for true wellness.

What makes these peptides different than others?

🌱Harnessed from nature vs synthetically made in lab
🌱Ingestible vs injectable
🌱Affordable vs expensive
🌱Simple vs complex
🌱Accessible vs Prescription
🌱10 years & $120 million worth of studies including human clinicals

Okay, but how?

AI technology allows us to research trillions of possibilities with peptides & helps us to find which key unlocks the portion of DNA we want to signal a response from like a switch board.

Let me break it down for you in a way that really made sense to me...👇🏻

The human body depends on peptides to regulate our body functions. Aside from the peptides naturally found in the body, most peptides currently available are synthetic, injectable, & expensive. However, bioactive precision peptides like the peptides from MAKE Wellness come from plants, are ingested through the gut, are affordable & are the key to unlocking our DNA and optimizing the way our bodies function.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲:
Let’s take collagen supplements for example - taking a collagen supplement is going to help supplement your body with some of the collagen that it might be lacking. However, taking bioactive precision peptides will actually help your body PRODUCE more collagen on its own.

Ever wonder what's happening inside our bodies as we age? 

🔬Here's a breakdown of the aging process and how peptides play a crucial role in anti-aging research:

1.    DNA Wear-and-Tear: DNA damage and mutations over time leading to errors in how our cells work.
2.    Telomere Shortening: The protective ends of our chromosomes (telomeres) get shorter, leading cells to age.
3.    Gene Expression Changes: Our genes start to act differently, affecting cell work.
4.    Protein Quality Decline: Damaged proteins build up in cells, potentially causing diseases.
5.    Nutrient Signaling Disruption: How we process nutrients to preface >250 biochemical processes can be hindered. (Methylation)
6.    Mitochondrial Aging: Cell powerhouses become less efficient, increasing oxidative stress.
7.    Cellular Aging: Cells stop dividing and begin releasing harmful molecules.
8.    Stem Cell Decline: Fewer stem cells mean our body struggles more to repair itself.
9.    Communication Breakdown: Miscommunication between cells can cause inflammation.
10.    Persistent Low-level Inflammation: Ongoing mild inflammation can lead to age-related diseases.
11.    Microbial Imbalance: Changes in beneficial microbes can impact health.
12.    Protein Folding and Turnover: Proper protein maintenance helps prevent diseases.
13.    Recycling Disruption in Cells: Poor recycling in cells can speed up aging.

Peptides in Anti-Aging: Recently, peptides have gained attention in anti-aging research. They act as signaling molecules, influencing various cellular processes involved in aging. These peptides can interact with receptors on cell surfaces, inside cells, or in the extracellular matrix. This interaction leads to changes in gene expression, protein synthesis, and signaling pathways, offering a new frontier in understanding and potentially managing aging.

🧬 If this is all new to you, it's new to me too, but I will continue to learn and share this fascinating research!

VASSOUL’s Lash Lift Kit

Thanks to Lash Boost my lashes are longer-looking, but are still straight and blonde. Once in a while, before COVID hit, I would treat myself to a Lash Lift and Lash Tint at the whooping price of $100 each time. During COVID, I discovered an at-home Lash Lift Kit for a fraction of the price and it contains multiple uses! I have already used my current kit 4 times, it's about half-empty, and this is the second kit I’ve purchased in 3 years. I have saved hundreds of dollars already by learning how to lift my lashes at home.

I personally use VASSOUL’s Lash Lift Kit and with almost 12,000 reviews it’s highly rated. There are tons of YouTube videos you can watch to show you how to use one of these Lash Lift Kits and I promise, you will get better at it. I don't even know how to put on eyeliner!

Travel Tips & Travel Gadgets

Sharing the travel tips I have learned during my adventures and my favorite travel gadgets!

Why Do You Need Travel Vaccines?💉

Why Do You Need Travel Vaccines?💉
 
Traveling internally increases your odds of contracting and spreading diseases that are not commonly found in the US. Vaccines will protect you and prevent the circulation of infections within and between countries you are traveling throughout.  
 
Some vaccines are suggested (liked Typhoid) and some are required (like Yellow Fever - required proof will be mandatory to enter certain countries). Why would you want to get a vaccine that’s only suggested? Typhoid is a disease spread by contamination of food and water and can be life threatening. Most people in the United States that get Typhoid are infected during internation travel. Symptoms include, fever, stomach pain, bowel irritations, and can last for weeks or months if not treated. Sounds like a quick way to ruin your vacation!
 
Prices differ by provider and insurance coverage. You may also ask your healthcare provider for bloodwork to check your current immunity against certain diseases to see if a booster is needed. Make sure you plan ahead as some vaccines require two doses and some can take 10+ days to become effective.
 
Being up to date with your routine vaccines (Measles, Tetanus, etc.) year-round will help speed up getting fully vaccinated for your trip.
 
To find out what vaccines or medicines you need for your travel destination, you can contact your regular doctor, an infectious disease doctor, or a travel doctor and/or check out the Destination Tool on the CDC website. I also highly recommend PassportHealth with locations throughout the US, Canada, and UK (Google it!).

Safe travels!

How to Get a Free National Park Pass!

How to Get a Free National Park Pass!
 
Did you know, every 4th Grader in the USA gets a FREE National Park pass? I came across this and thought it was too cool not to share.
 
Every 4th Grader should have received an “Every Kid in a Park” pass in the beginning of the school year, that is good for free admission to all America’s National Parks and federal lands. BUT it’s also valid for their families – the pass admits all children under 16 and up to 3 adults for FREE! It also doesn’t expire until August 31, 2025.
 
If your 4th Grader didn’t already get the pass, the link is below and it’s easy. Just sign your kid up, print it out, and show it at the parks when you enter.
 
If you have a 4th Grader (or soon to be 4th Grader) in your household, make sure you take advantage of these huge savings and go explore our great big country!

Don’t Put Your Suitcase on the Bed!

Don’t Put Your Suitcase on the Bed!
 
This is a huge no-no for me, along with pocketbooks, jackets, mail, packages, and clothes you wore outside. I’ve always been grossed out by this and turns out for good reason.
 
It may make sense when packing for a trip to put your suitcase on your bed. It’s a comfortable height, you’re getting clothes from your dresser or closet, but your suitcase has been wheeled over airport floors, public bathrooms, taxis & Ubers, stowed in the overhead on your flight or checked and put into the plane’s belly, and rolled through city streets - maybe through a questionable puddle or two. The wheels of your suitcase have definitely picked up some germs and pollutants during your travels.
 
A scientific study by Lysol Pro Solutions* followed the accumulation of germs on backpacks through the working day and concluded that backpacks can pick up as many germs as were found a toilet seat. Germs included E. coli, fungal species of yeast, and intestinal bacteria.
 
Now would you put a toilet seat on your bed?!
 
At the hotel, your best bet is using the luggage rack. This also helps keep your suitcase away from bed bugs. At home using the floor is best.
 
You can, and should, clean your suitcase by wiping down the handles and wheels with an antibacterial wipe or a cloth and disinfectant spray. Hard-sided luggage is easy to clean with a wipe and most soft-sided luggage can also be cleaned this way. Make sure you concentrate on the bottom!

How to do the Indy 500 like a pro!

How to do the Indy 500 like a pro!
 
The travel tip no one asked for, but I learned so much last weekend I want to share.
 
Here are all my Indy 500 tips:
 
1. DO book your hotel NOW! No joke, we booked ours in June 2023 for May 2024 and even then, there were limited options.
2. DON’T join the “lottery” for tickets through the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) app. There were plenty of tickets available through IMS and on StubHub, even the day before, and this way you’ll be able to select the exact section/seats you want.
3. DO sign up for emails from IMS to receive updated information before and during Memorial Day Weekend, like timings for the pre-race events and who will be singing the National Anthem.
4. DO book a hotel near the airport or near Lucas Oil Stadium downtown. We booked a hotel near the airport that offered free shuttles to/from the airport, which we also used on the day of the race (see #6).
5. DON’T hire a rental car.
6. DO book a ticket for the shuttle through the IMS that picks up/drops off at either the airport or Lucas Oil Stadium. No need to worry about driving, parking, or not drinking.
7. DO book tickets for the Snake Pit if you’re into some EDM DJing at 8am.
8. DO wear comfortable shoes – the track is 2.5 miles long and you’ll be walking a lot.
9. DO bring in your own food and drinks. The concession stands options are not great and lines were long. You can bring in any food or drink you’d like, as long as it’s not in a glass bottle.
10. DON’T bring in bottled water. Instead bring in 1 water bottle and refill it from the water refill stations located around the speedway.
11. DO bring or rent a seat cushion or bring a towel to sit on. The benches are hard metal.
12. DO be prepared for the weather. Bring your umbrella, raincoat, sunblock, hat, sunglasses, etc. There is little to no shade/coverage over most of the seats.
13. DON’t ruin your hearing. Bring earplugs!

The Dirtiest Place at Your Airplane Seat!

The Dirtiest Place at Your Airplane Seat!

Did you know that the seat back pocket on an airplane is the dirtiest place at your airplane seat?

According to explore.com, garbage often gets left behind in the seat pocket and despite airlines' best efforts to tidy up, the seat back pocket is rarely wiped down or sanitized. Flight attendants have seen people stash dirty tissues, diapers, sick bags, socks, gum, half-eaten food, etc., in these pockets and then you go ahead and put your phone in there!

You should wipe down the seat back pocket along with the armrests, headrest, air vents, tray table, screens, etc., as best you can AND you should bring a disposable plastic bag to use as a liner in the pocket. 

You can also use a Seat Back Pocket Organizer to keep your personal items organized, like the 
Travelon World Travel Essentials Seat Pack Organizer, that has 3 zippered pockets, a screen viewable rear panel, and vertical & horizontal hanging loops. An organizer like this helps keeps all your travel gear easily accessible during your flight. You can hang this from the tray table latch, avoiding the seat back pocket all together, but you can also wipe down the organizer after you travel.

And don't forget the wipes!

Why You Should Put a Shoe on The Hotel Safe!

Why You Should Put a Shoe on The Hotel Safe!

🎶If you wanted it then you should have put a shoe on it
If you wanted it then you shoulda put a shoe on it
Don't be mad once you see that you forgot it
If you wanted it then you shoulda put a shoe on it🎶

Now what am I singing about? A clever way to remember to remove your important items (i.e., Passport!) from the hotel safe.

If you put a shoe on the safe when you check-in (like the shoes you wear to the airport) then you won't forget to empty the safe before you leave. You’re unlikely to check out of the hotel wearing only one sneaker, but you may arrive at the airport without your travel documents. 

Or you can just set a calendar reminder, but that's not as much fun as singing the song above. Catchy, isn't it?

Why I Travel With Food!

Why I Travel With Food!

Can we normalize bringing our own food and snacks when we travel? 

We already paid for the hotel, tours, plane ticket, parking/train/Uber to get to the airport, and maybe you paid to check a bag too. Do we also have to pay $20 for a stale airport sandwich and $12 for a small bag of chips? No we don't!

You can bring food through security and saving money isn't the only reason that you should travel with food.

How many times have you said "I'll just grab something at the airport," but traffic, security delays and long lines for food left you running for the gate. No problem, you’ll get a drink and snacks on the plane, but then you hit major turbulence and they suspend drink & food service on your flight. But wait, it gets worse, your flight is diverted due to weather and now you’re forced off the flight to stand in line to figure out your next step.

I bet you’re hangry now! This has happened to me, but luckily I had snacks and my refillable water bottle to tide me over.

If you open up my carry on, you are very likely to find a sandwich, cereal bars, almonds and a sweet treat (or two!). I have also been known to bring more food and even alcohol in my checked luggage - resort cocktails are expensive!

*TSA has an extensive list of food and drinks that you can and cannot bring in your carry on and/or checked bags. The 3.4 oz or less liquid rule applies - this includes guacamole, hummus, dips, peanut butter & jelly, etc.

If you can spread it, spill it, spray it, pump it, or pour it - it's a liquid!

Download Before You Go!

Download Before You Go!
 
You may ask, what’s the point of downloading shows or movies from your favorite streaming services before traveling when so many flights offer free entertainment and Wi-Fi?

Well, let me ask you:
 
Have you ever been that lucky person on a flight whose tv screen doesn’t work?

Have you ever been on a flight when the Wi-Fi doesn’t work?

Have you ever sat down in your seat on a plane to discover there’s no tv screen at all?
 
I have experienced all these scenarios!

Plus, the not so drastic issues of not finding anything I want to watch or having the flight’s entertainment system end as soon as the wheels touch down on the runway and having the movie I was watching shut off right before they reveal the big plot twist!

Also, don’t wait until you get to the airport to start your downloads. Shows and movies download really slow on public Wi-Fi and drain your battery, and without a VPN or USB Data Blocker it leaves you open to download more than just your favorite series. If you need referrals for a VPN or Data Blocker, I got you!

Bottom line, you just never know, so I like to be prepared when traveling with several shows and movies downloaded, as well as a book or two. Nothing ruins the start or end of your trip more than not being entertained.

How To Keep Your Devices Safe!

How To Keep Your Devices Safe!
 
Have you heard of Juice Jacking? Until recently, I hadn’t either. According to Wikipedia, Juice Jacking is a “type of compromise of devices like smartphones and tablets which use the same cable for charging and data transfer, typically a USB cable. The goal of the attack is to either install malware on the device, or to surreptitiously copy potentially sensitive data.”
 
This type of attack usually happens at public access charging station, like at the airport, mall, hotel lobby, café, etc. This is similar to how those ATM card skimming thefts work. A USB connector has five pins, but only needs one pin to charge, the other pins are used to transfer data. You may think you’re just topping up your low battery, but instead you could become a victim of data theft or malware installation, or even worse, your device could be completely disabled. Not ideal while traveling.
 
Here are some tips to avoid this happening to you:
 
1. Use your own wall plug and your own USB cables.
2. Travel with an emergency battery/charger.
3. Carry your own USB Data Blocker, which prevents data from being sent or received. I’ll add the link to my pick in the comments!
4. If you plug your phone into a public charger, always select “charge only,” and do not select “share data” or “trust this computer.”
 
Public WiFi networks is another way that cyber criminals can steal your info. Keep your data safe with a VPN service and surf the web without tracking, shield your devices with antivirus, and guard your identity.
 
I’ve been using Surfshark and it’s an all-in-one app that allows for safe surfing, blocks ads and trackers. You can even create an alternative name, address and email to protect your info from scammers, plus monitor breaches for your email, credit cards and IDs. It’s easy to install and use and right now, you can also get 20% cash back on Rakuten! Get 30 days risk free, connect to unlimited devices, and 24/7 customer support.

How to Prepare for a Road Trip!

How to Prepare for a Road Trip!
 
Are you planning to take a road trip this year?
 
Here are a few tips to have a safe and successful journey:
 
1. Prepare your car! Change the oil, rotate the tires, check your aircon/heat, etc. Make sure your insurance is up to date and know the contact number for your road side assistance.
2. Build a road trip toolkit, including an emergency roadside kit. What will you need if you break down? Blankets, a flashlight, jumper cables, a shovel, bottled water? Links to an emergency kit, my go-to tire pressure pump and windshield wiper fluid tabs on my Amazon Finds page!
3. Bring healthy snacks! Nothing ruins the mood during a road trip more than being hangry.
4. Stay hydrated! Unfortunately, this will lead to lots of pit stops, but it’s nice to stretch your legs on a long trip.
5. Plan your route! This includes, downloading off-line maps. You may not always have service where you’re driving.
6. Plan your stops! Stretch, take a walk, see a sight.
7. Plan where and when to get gas! The most expensive states to buy gas are in California, Washington, Hawaii, Oregon, and Nevada and the cheapest are Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, and Texas. The cheapest day to fill up is Mondays. Plan accordingly!
8. And plan your hotels out! You don’t want to be driving around exhausted looking for a hotel at the end of the day.
9. Keep alert! Did you know that chewing gum can increase alertness?
10. Have fun! You may be able to find a road trip app for your journey. Check out Guide Along or Shaka Guide for GPS audio tours.

How to Save Money for Vacation!

One of the best ways to plan for vacation is to save money for vacation!
 
Here are my favorite ways to cut costs and save money:
 
1. I rarely buy coffee. Sorry Starbucks, but I’ll make my coffee at home or take the free coffee at work.
2. I don’t buy bottled water - unless of course I’m somewhere that the water is not safe to drink.
3. I don’t pay for music or books – I use Libby for audio and Kindle e-books and I use the free version of Spotify.
4. I select Amazon’s “No Rush” shipping days in return for Amazon e-credits that I can use towards Kindle e-books, Prime video rentals & purchases or Amazon music downloads.
5. Obviously, cook at home.   
6. I bring lunch to work every day. Figure $10 a day, 5 days a week – that’s $2,600 a year! #UseYourLeftovers
7. I use rebate and cash back apps – Rakuten, Fetch, ReceiptPal, Ibotta, PayPal/Honey, Capital One, Upside, Gas Buddy, etc. – and I compare them to see which will give me the biggest savings or the most cash back. I have referral codes for most of these, so if you’re interested let me know and we can both save!
8. I shop with coupons. Before I walk into a store, I open their app and look for deals and virtually clip the coupons I need. Better yet, shop online through a site like Rakuten, get cash back, plus use your virtual coupons – just make sure you’ve stacked that with free shipping too.
9. Sometimes I shop through an airline’s shopping portal for extra miles. I recently received a promo from American Airlines, and I earned 1,000 award miles for making a $25 purchase that I was going to make anyway. Alaska, British Airways, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest and United all have shopping portals also.
10. You can purchase more than flights through your airline’s website. Last year I booked a rental car through American Airlines for the same price it would have been to book direct, but in return I received miles for that purchase, plus a one-day pass to their Admiral’s Club.  That’s a $79 value!
11. Use a cash back or points-based credit card – every airline has a credit card, pick your favorite. If you pay rent, get a BILT card (ask for my referral). Many cards offer cash back that you can use as a statement credit or even receive as check or direct deposit.
12. Double down or better yet triple your savings! You can fill up your car using Upside or Gas Buddy, and scan your gas station’s reward card, plus use a credit card that offers a bonus for purchases at gas stations. That’s triple savings!
13. Take a Defensive Drivers Course for a discount on your insurance. Plus, it’s just smart! I have a referral for this too.
14. I sell on Poshmark, FB Marketplace, and Offer Up. That dress that you bought for a friend’s wedding that you’re never going to wear again - might as well get some money back on it. Those items in your closet that still have tags on them that don’t even fit – time to cash in. Ask me for my Poshmark referral link!
15. Shop at the dollar/discount store or buy store brands. Will anyone care that you bought your wrapping or tissue paper at the Dollar Tree? Doesn’t the store brand garbage bag still end up in the trash?
16. I take quizzes. Last month I received a $10 CVS coupon from Capital One shopping for taking a 5-minute survey while sitting on the couch. Totally worth it!
17. Get yourself a side gig! You know I'm a huge fan of mine, but even if it's not with my company, find something you're passionate about and join! Notice that I didn't say get yourself a second job; no one has time for that! 

I would love to hear all of your favorite tips for saving money. Share your best tips here!

How to Adjust to Altitude Changes!

How to Adjust to Altitude Changes!
 
Living at sea level, in a mostly humid environment, I struggle when I travel to dry and high-altitude destinations. Being prepared with a few tips and essential items helps me tremendously, but first what is altitude sickness?
 
As you travel to a higher elevation, you start to take in less oxygen per breath and this is what causes altitude sickness. Mild symptoms may include, shortness of breath, headaches, feeling tired, dizziness, loss of appetite and difficulty sleeping.  This process starts to take place at 5,000 feet. For comparison, where I live is 16 feet above sea level. If time allows ease into your new altitude to let your body acclimatize slowly, but since this can take a few days or even weeks, you may need some extra help.
 
Here is what I do to adjust quickly so I can enjoy my trip:
 
💦Drink lots of water! High altitudes and dry air cause dehydration and many symptoms of altitude sickness can be alleviated by staying hydrated. Bring your refillable water bottle (many airports, national parks, museums, etc., now have free filtered water stations) and start drinking extra water before your trip. Don’t forget, flying also causes dehydration. If I’m feeling extra parched, I’ll add a Liquid IV packet to my water.
 
😴Get enough sleep! Believe it or not, insomnia is a symptom of altitude sickness, plus dry air and forced heat can dry you out. To add moisture and humidity to the room, I use a travel humidifier.  
 
🏋️Reduce your exercise and take frequent breaks! Each breath at higher altitude draws less oxygen which means your body is worker harder already. If your schedule permits, give your body a few days to acclimate with moderate activity. You can also try a supplement, like Altitude RX. I recently used this for my vacation in Park City, UT. Did it help? I’m not sure. Did it hurt? Nope!
 
💧Moisturize inside and out! Use a thick moisturizer, especially on exposed skin, and keep your nasal passages from drying out. Use a neti pot or try a nasal spray or gel, which are also useful on flights. Dry nasal passages can also lead to nosebleeds and infections.
 
🍹Limit your alcohol intake! Alcohol hits harder at higher elevations and we already know that alcohol dehydrates you. Something I have noticed when visiting high altitude destinations is that bartenders will automatically give you a glass of water. They’re way ahead of the game!
 
🧴Wear extra sunblock! Higher altitude plus thinner air means more sun exposure, so stay prepared with SPF, lip balm and don’t forget your sunglasses. Need a good sunblock or lip balm, I can help with that!

How to Maximize Your 2024 PTO

How to Maximize Your 2024 PTO
 
Did you know that there are tips on how to maximize your PTO in 2024 to get the most of your time off?
 
It’s all based around the federal holidays that most companies are closed for.
 
These are the dates you need to take off in 2024:
 
January: 2 and 16
February: 16
May: 24
June: 17, 18, 20, and 21
July: 5
September: 3
November: 29
December: 23, 24, 26, and 27
 
By following these tricks, you can stretch 15 given days of PTO into 52 days of vacation. This may not work for everyone, but you can see how you can apply this tactic to your company’s holidays.

One major drawback of this plan is that flights and hotels may be more expensive around these holidays.

Why I Travel With a Carbon Monoxide Detector

I thought I would share some of the travel tips I have learned during my adventures and the travel gadgets I use on my travels. First up, is why I always travel with a carbon monoxide detector. Not the most glamourous tip, but the most important one.  

If you watch the news, you are probably aware that there have been many recent traveler deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning in hotels and home rentals, which is why this safety device is a packing list essential! Here’s what you need to know to protect yourself:

“Carbon monoxide, also known as CO, is called the ‘invisible killer’ because it’s a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas,” according to the U.S. Fire Administration, an entity of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency. “It is undetectable to the human senses, so people may not know that they are being exposed.”

Carbon monoxide poisoning most often occurs when a fuel-burning appliance (furnace, gas range, water heater, or room heater) is broken or not vented properly. It can also be caused by fireplaces and portable generators, or by charcoal being burned in enclosed spaces. 

Hotels are only required to follow state and local fire CO detection requirements, and although many states require carbon monoxide detectors to be installed in private residences, not all hotels are required to have them in place. Both Airbnb and VRBO encourage hosts to install carbon monoxide detectors in the sleeping areas of their vacation homes, but it is not required. 

To be safe, pack your own travel carbon monoxide detector. Look for a battery-operated CO detector, so you do not have to worry about a travel adapter if you're traveling abroad. I suggest removing the batteries for travel, so it does not go off in your luggage. Airlines allow detectors in both carry-on and checked bags. I personally use a Kidde Carbon Monoxide Detector (link in my comments/bio/highlights). It's about $35 on Amazon, and for a device that could save your life, it's well worth every penny!  

The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include, “headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and confusion.” If you suspect you’ve been exposed, go outside immediately to get fresh air and call 911—or the local emergency line if you’re abroad.

Why you need to know your rights!

Why you need to know your rights!
 
It has been a crazy few years for travel, especially for customers flying during strikes, computer meltdowns and storms. The US Department of Transportation has made it a little easier for us, as travelers, to know our rights. The Airline Customer Service Dashboard lets us know what we are entitled to in the event of a “controllable” delay or cancellation. There is also information on each airline’s Family Seating guarantee.
 
It’s important to know what a “controllable” event is. According to the DOT, “A controllable flight cancellation or delay is essentially a delay or cancellation caused by the airline. Examples include maintenance or crew problems; cabin cleaning; baggage loading; and fueling.” It’s also important to know that by law, compensation does not have to occur until the delay is 3 hours.
 
Uncontrollable events are everything else! Weather, Acts of God, air traffic control, strikes, or any other circumstance beyond the airline’s reasonable control.
 
I also want to point out that the budget airlines (Allegiant, Frontier, Southwest and Spirit) will not rebook you on a partner airline because they do not have partner airlines. I personally love Southwest, and this will not deter me from booking them. I did have a flight canceled due to weather last year and they automatically booked me on the next available flight. I was not happy with that flight and was easily able to change it in their app to an earlier flight from a nearby airport at no additional cost.
 
In February, I also had a major delay/cancellation while flying JetBlue and they did reschedule me, provide transportation, and complimentary overnight hotel accommodation, but this was not before being delayed many, many hours until 3am when they decided to cancel. They also provided a credit for future use immediately, but did not reimburse me for meals or the extra charge I had to pay for extending my parking at the airport.
 
Note that this dashboard only covers the big 10 US based airlines, but it is updated as needed. There is also a link to file a complaint directly with the DOT if you are not happy with an airline’s response/outcome.
 
My advice, especially coming up to the holidays and winter, is to know your rights, but also know that there is always a risk of being delayed or canceled, go to the app or call the airline while standing online for customer service, be nice, and bring snacks!

Why I use the FlightAware App!

Why I use the FlightAware App!
 
Yes, I know, your airline has an app, and they’ll keep you updated, right? Maybe.
 
I’ve been using the FlightAware App for several years and here’s why.
 
* First of all, it’s free!
* You can view full screen maps with NEXRAD weather.
* You can check out nearby aircrafts flying overhead and click on them to see where they’re going - if you’re into that kind of thing!
* You can set alerts for flights you’re traveling on or meeting a traveler on.
* You’ll receive a notification when the captain files your flight plan, if your flight is delayed, when it departs/lands, if your flight is diverted, or cancelled.
* More than once I have received a notification about a flight delay from FlightAware before I received one from my airline. This head’s up can give you an advantage to start making alternative arrangements before other travelers on your flight.
* I have also been alerted to a gate change on FlightAware before I have been notified by the airline.
* You can also view the on-time history of a flight you plan to book. Is it constantly delayed?
* And my favorite feature, “Where is my plane?” You’re not boarding momentarily if your plane isn’t there yet!

How I earn travel points while paying rent!

How I earn travel points while paying rent!
 
Did you know that there is a credit card that allows you to earn points just for paying your rent? Let me introduce you to the BILT Rewards Card!
 
If you’re familiar with point-based travel cards and you pay rent, then you’re aware that there has been a gap in this market for a long time. Not anymore! You can now earn travel points on rent without paying any fees and it’s a life changing!
 
After you open your BILT Mastercard by Wells Fargo, you will go into the BILT app or website to set up your monthly rent payments. BILT links with your bank account and the funds are withdrawn directly, so you do not pay credit card fees to process your rent. You can have an e-check, or a physical check sent directly to your landlord. It’s so easy!
 
Plus, you’ll also earn two points per dollar spent on travel, three points on dining, and five points on Lyft (and you can link your account for more points), and one point for all other purchases. *You must make five purchases per month to earn rewards, but there’s no minimum spend requirement. Then you can transfer your BILT points to several travel partners, including American Airlines, Air France, United, Hawaiian Airlines, British Airways, Marriott, Hyatt and more! BILT also celebrates Rent Day on the 1st of every month by giving you double points, free rent giveaways, a fun quiz that you can earn extra points by taking, and special perks that change monthly. A few months ago, BILT gave me $20 in Lyft credits just because it was Rent Day!
 
Not only does BILT earn points, but this card also gives you trip cancellation, trip delay reimbursement, auto rental collision, cell phone protection, and has no foreign currency conversion fees!
 
BILT was also just named the Best No-Annual Fee Credit Card at the 2023 The Points Guy Readers’ Choice Awards!

While you may see some travel deals on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, some travel companies hold out until #TravelTuesday.

Travel Tuesday, or Travel Deal Tuesday, falls on November 28th (a week from today) this year. Data shows (according to the app Hopper) that the Tuesday after Thanksgiving statistically has the highest volume of deals for flights, hotels, cruises, and vacations.

Why are there more deals? Travel demand is low compared to other times of the year because most people have already booked their holiday travel and are not thinking about next year yet.

I have personally already seen offers for discounts on several tour operators, like G Adventures (who I used for Peru), Intrepid (who I used for India) and Flash Packer (who I plan to use next year for the Philippines). Many airlines and hotels will be offering up deals too.

So, after the craziness of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, take a moment to treat yourself to a vacation!

Safe Travels!

Why you need Global Entry/TSA PreCheck!

Why you need Global Entry/TSA PreCheck!
 
Do you hate waiting on long lines for security at the airport, taking out your laptop and liquids, and taking off your shoes (not to mention, having to walk in your socks on the dirty floor!)? Then you need to enroll for TSA PreCheck!
 
First thing’s first, Global Entry includes TSA PreCheck, so if you plan on traveling internationally this is the way to go. Global Entry gives you the benefits of no processing lines, no paperwork, access to expedited entry in other countries, reduced wait times and TSA Pre-Check.
 
TSA Pre-Check gives you access to expedited screening, allows you to keep on your shoes/belt/light jacket and you do not have to remove your liquids and laptops. I am usually through security in less than 5 minutes.
 
Enrollment lasts for 5 years and it’s $100 to enroll for both Global Entry & TSA PreCheck, that’s $20 a year! Many credit cards also reimburse you the fee for enrollment also, so this benefit is free for some! Honestly, being able to keep on my shoes is worth every penny!

Why I travel with a Bouncy Ball!

If you open up my carry-on, you’ll see an extra pair of underwear, toothbrush & toothpaste, my iPad, lots of snacks and a pink bouncy ball.
 
It’s not for playing with or throwing at annoying passengers (as tempting as that may be!), but it’s to help with stretching and sore muscles. You can roll it like a massager to ease aching spots and to increase circulation. At your destination, you can use it against a wall or while laying on the floor to get those tight shoulders, neck and back. I have plantar fascia, so I roll the ball under my foot a few times a day to help relieve the pain.

Don’t have a bouncy ball laying around? Get one on Amazon!

Why I love Walking Tours!

One of my favorite things to do while traveling is to book a walking tour, preferably within the first day of arriving in a new city. It's a great way to familiarize yourself with your surroundings, learn a lot, and the guides are always full of local tips, like where to eat!

Here are my top 5 reasons to book a walking tour:
1.    Walking is the best way to see a new city.
2.    You'll learn more than you could on your own.
3.    You don't have to worry about planning where to go.
4.    You'll get to meet a local. 
5.    You'll get to meet other travelers. This is great if you're traveling solo!

My go-to resource for walking tours is "Free by Foot Tours! Walking Tours." I have been using them for years and have taken free walking tours in Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Savannah, Barcelona, Madrid, Vienna, and more! They really are free, but you should tip if you enjoy your tour. If they do not have a free walking tour available in their listed cities, they will have resources for paid walking tours.

Not an ad! I just really love them!

How to search for Bed Bugs!

Did you see the news about the outbreak of bed bugs in Paris during Fashion Week?!

I’ll spare you the icky details, but here is how to check your hotel room for an infestation.

Look for physical signs of bed bugs:
* Rusty or reddish stains on bed sheets or mattresses caused by bed bugs being crushed.
* Dark spots (about this size: •), which are bed bug excrement and may bleed on the fabric like a marker would.
* Eggs and eggshells, which are tiny (about 1mm) and pale yellow skins that nymphs shed as they grow larger.
* Live bed bugs.

Luckily, most of the time bedbug bites don’t require medical attention.

For more information, visit the US’ Environmental Protection Agency website on bed bugs.

Why I use a reusable water bottle!

This is a travel tip mixed with an Amazon find….

I drink about 80 ounces of water a day. I used to spend a fortune on bottled water when I traveled, plus I'd feel bad about all the plastic bottles, but now I travel with a reusable water bottle. Most airports have water refill stations designed for your water bottle - it's free and it's filtered! A lot of hotels, sights, and museums have water refill stations available now too. Just this weekend I saw them at Monticello, the VA Beach Boardwalk and at the USS Wisconsin. 

Saving money on water means more money to spend on travel! 😉

To help me navigate the airport and leave one hand free, I use the riemot Luggage Travel Cup Holder Free Hand Drink Carrier. Not only can I stow my water bottle, I have a place for a second drink (coffee, soda, beer - no judgement here!) and it also has a back pocket. When you're done with your beverages, just fold up the cup holder and put it in your carryon. 

PS - This makes a great gift for anyone who loves to travel. It's one of my must-haves!

Safe travels!

Why I use a packing list!

If you're a big fan of lists, or get overwhelmed when packing, I highly recommend the Knock Knock Pack This! Pad Packing List Notepad. 

I have been using this exact packing list for years! Although I'm an experienced traveler, I always worry that I will forget something, but this extensive checklist has everything you could ever need for your trip. There are 60 sheets on this pad - for most people this will last for the rest of your life. I have just 2 sheets left on my current pad, so I will be purchasing a new one ASAP. Mine is so old it lists traveler checks!

This pad also makes a great stocking stuffer (yes, the holidays are coming!).

Safe travels!

Why you should always pack an AirTag!

You may have heard nightmare stories of travelers losing their checked luggage, but now you can help track your bag with an AirTag! Made by Apple, these Bluetooth tracking devices can track any item you attach them to – suitcase, car, pocketbook, pet, kid’s backpack, etc!
 
An AirTag is not tracked by GPS, but by Bluetooth, and it emits a signal that privately and security connects to any device in the Find My network. The AitTag will connect to any nearby iPhones (like iPhones in the pockets of baggage handlers) and the location will be sent back to your iPhone in the Find My app. AirTags are connected to a single Apple ID – only the person logged into that specific Apple ID can see the location.
 
AirTags allow you to see where your luggage is and if your bag didn’t make it onto your flight, you may be able to provide the exact location to the airline much quicker than they’ll be able to find it based off just your luggage tag.
 
My favorite way to purchase AirTags is directly with the Apple Store through Rakuten. On average, you’ll get 2% cash back from Apple.com when shopping through Rakuten. If you do not already have a Rakuten Account, sign up through my referral link and when you spend $30, you’ll receive $30 cash back from Rakuten plus the % back at the store you shopped at. For instance, if you purchase an AirTag ($29) and the Belkin Secure Holder w/strap for AirTag ($12.95) from the Apple Store through Rakuten, as a new member through my referral link, you’ll receive $30 cash back from Rakuten, essentially getting your AirTag for free! Plus you’ll get 2% cash back on top of that. Personally, I would purchase a 4 pack of AirTags through the Apple Store and then buy the holders on Amazon. Trust me, you’ll want more than one!

Safe travels!

Why Google Flights is your best travel friend!

I use Google Flights pre- and post-booking my flights to save money. Post-booking you say…yes, you may be able to get a refund (or credit) if the price drops after you book a flight!
 
How to use for pre-booking flights:
 
Search on the Google Flights website (an app is not available) for the fight, destination, airline, dates, etc. Google will show you what’s available, displaying what they consider to be the best departing flights first. You have the option to filter by nonstop, time of day, airlines, etc. If your dates are flexible, you can also use the date grid option. You will also be able to view Google Flight’s historical price guide, which will tell you if the fare you have found is low, high, or average for flights on this route.
 
Once you’ve found the flight you want, you have the option of clicking through directly to the airline carrier’s website (you always want to book directly with the airline – do not book on a third-party site!) to purchase OR you can set up a price alert to track the prices of the flights and Google will let you know when the price goes up or down. Keep in mind, Google Flights does not show Southwest flights.
 
How to use for post-booking flights:
 
Follow the instructions above and set up a price alert to track the prices of the flights you already booked. If/when the price goes up or down, you will receive an email from Google Flights. If the price goes up praise yourself for booking the cheaper fare when you did!
 
If the price goes down, go directly to the airline’s website, and confirm the lower price. If the price has dropped, you should be able to cancel your original ticket, even if it was non-refundable, and receive a credit or voucher (*unless you booked in basic economy - confirm before canceling, I am not responsible if you did not read your fine print). If you booked a refundable fare, you would receive your money back, and then can rebook the same flight at the lower price. If you booked a non-refundable fare, you can cancel your flight, and you should receive a credit/voucher immediately or within a few minutes and then can use that credit/voucher to rebook at the lower price. The balance of the credit can be used for future travel.
 
I cannot tell you how many times the price of my flight has dropped, so much so that some of the recent tickets I have purchased have been paid for completely with credits/vouchers. It’s almost like free travel!
 
This is a very basic tutorial, for more in-depth information, visit The Points Guy or Thrifty Traveler – two of my favorite travel resources.

Safe travels!

Check the alarm clock!⏰

This weekend was such a quick trip that I didn’t even think to check (or just unplug!) the alarm clock in the hotel room.

Why? Because after going to bed at 1:30 am on Saturday the hotel alarm clock went off at 5 am! It scared the crap out of me.

Rookie mistake!

Learn from me and don’t make this mistake. Check or unplug the alarm clock!

BILT Rewards Card

How I earn travel points while paying rent!

Did you know that there is a credit card that allows you to earn points just for paying your rent? Let me introduce you to the BILT Rewards Card!

If you’re familiar with point-based travel cards and you pay rent, then you’re aware that there has been a gap in this market for a long time. Not anymore! You can now earn travel points on rent without paying any fees and it’s a life changing!

After you open your BILT Mastercard by Wells Fargo, you will go into the BILT app or website to set up your monthly rent payments. BILT links with your bank account and the funds are withdrawn directly, so you do not pay credit card fees to process your rent. You can have an e-check, or a physical check sent directly to your landlord. It’s so easy!

Plus, you’ll also earn two points per dollar spent on travel, three points on dining, and five points on Lyft (and you can link your account for more points), and one point for all other purchases. *You must make five purchases per month to earn rewards, but there’s no minimum spend requirement. Then you can transfer your BILT points to several travel partners, including American Airlines, Air France, United, Hawaiian Airlines, British Airways, Marriott, Hyatt and more! BILT also celebrates Rent Day on the 1st of every month by giving you double points, free rent giveaways, a fun quiz that you can earn extra points by taking, and special perks that change monthly. A few months ago, BILT gave me $20 in Lyft credits just because it was Rent Day!

Not only does BILT earn points, but this card also gives you trip cancellation, trip delay reimbursement, auto rental collision, cell phone protection, and has no foreign currency conversion fees!

BILT was also just named the Best No-Annual Fee Credit Card at the 2023 The Points Guy Readers’ Choice Awards!
