We’re heading to Miami tomorrow night for Swim Week and I couldn’t be more excited. The last time I was there was on a family trip over 10 years ago! I’ve somewhat started the packing process by pulling out what I know I want to pack. I’ve also made a list of what I want and need to buy. That’s kind of how I handle packing for trips, not as organized as some with lists, but it seems to work for me. Here are a few things I’d love to bring in my carry on.

Happy Wednesday – thanks for reading

I’m a sucker for a brightly colored wall, so when I spotted this one out of the corner of my eye while driving home from Trader Joes awhile back I made a mental note to bring Jeff back here to shoot an outfit. Luckily a month of so later I finally remembered. There are some parts of blogging that seem really strange to other people. Like stopping in a random neighborhood on a Saturday morning and posing in front of a strangers fence while people drive by. But over time you kind of learn to roll with the punches.

As a blogger I get sent a lot of products to test out. I have a closet in a bedroom dedicated to what I still need to try and also what I plan to donate. I’ve discovered so many great brands that way… also lots I’d never write about or purchase on my own.

I was excited when PopSugar sent me this Must Have Box to try. If you’re not familiar, it’s a month box curated by the team at PopSugar that’s delivered to your door step each month. The box was filled with little gems I’d probably never find on my own and I wanted to share its contents.

Hat Attack Neutral Diamonds-Printed Sarong
Sisters of Los Angeles “Cheers” Gold Bottle Opener – my favorite item in the box
Wild and Wolf Ridley’s Games Room “Who Am I?” Quiz – so fun, we played this with friends on the 4th
Knock Knock Are You Ready (For Your Close-Up?) Compact
Pacifica Underarm Deodorant Wipes
Pressels Sriracha – these were too good and didn’t make it to the photo 🙂

If you’re interested you can sign up for the Must Have Box here.
