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!

Lazy Girl Curls

Trust me, if I can do this, you can too! It’s easy!
Put the heatless curler over your head like a headband, you can clip it at the top or secure one side with a scrunchie like a ponytail, and then wind dry hair around the other side of the curling ribbon and secure with a scrunchie on the bottom.

It takes me less than 10 minutes. It’s also comfortable to sleep in, no heat damage, and the curls hold up even In humidity!

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!

Safe Travels!

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 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!

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.

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!

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!

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!).

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!

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!
