My Toiletry Bag

February 5, 2014 · In: LIFESTYLE, Travel, Uncategorized

Perfectly Packed Toiletry Bag copy

I am obsessive about being prepared for anything. When on trips, I want to make SURE I have that moleskin packed in case I or someone in my party gets blisters from new shoes or eighteen remedies in case someone catches a cold. 

Here is the toiletry bag I keep stocked and ready to go when I have the luxury of traveling heavy. My makeup bag is separate and a whole other story.  

This is an inexpensive bag I bought at Marshalls.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAI got this pack of smaller bags at Marshalls as well to further organize within the larger bag.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAThe “medicine bag” holds:

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

  • supplements

  • Bach Flower remedies for travel (special yarrow) and calming (five flower aka rescue remedy)
  • Dramamine 
  • Homeopathic medicine for shock/trauma (aconite) and inflammation (arnica)
  • feminine products
  • Emergen-C
  • My secret Korean “regularity” mix powder pack
  • Neosporin and bandaids
  • Cystex
  • sewing kit
  • Nyquil
  • (I keep the Advil in my carry on bag)
  • Moleskin
  • Sanitizing wipes

The fillable bottles:

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

  • no-bumps shave gel
  • conditioner
  • shampoo
  • makeup remover
  • toner
  • lotion

Original Bottles:

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

  • MAC Fix spray (gotta buy a small spray bottle for this guy) I barely use is but it is ESSENTIAL on special occasions.
  • Antiperspirant (I usually use powder instead but again, essential when wearing a fancy dress or for a special occasion)
  • sunscreens for body and face
  • Chloe rollerball perfume
  • blow dry lotion
  • eye drops
  • hand sanitizer

Hair bag:

These go in the suitcase:

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAI like to pack a few zip lock bags in different sizes just in case too! What else do you pack?!

      Thanks, Abby! If I didn’t have this thing ready to go at all times, it would take me 4 Xanex and 48 hours to prepare for every trip. lol

Comment the word WOOD for everything you need to k Comment the word WOOD for everything you need to know to make choosing wood floors simple. 

I make it easy and answer things like “what direction do I lay them?”

I was pregnant when we were renovating this home and I make different kinds of decisions when I’m pregnant. Anyone else?

I started thinking I wanted tile-wood-look flooring or fake wood because I saw all these Texas homes that did not use wood. 

There must be a reason? 

Was it the weather? The cost bc the homes are big? Pets? I thought I’d be responsible and choose something hardy…

Except I only like wood!

It’s really a personal preference and a lifestyle thing.
I LOVE natural materials and there is nothing like wood flooring to make a home feel cozy and expensive.

Almost 7 years later and we are still in love with these.
The feeling of your home is so powerful in creating the movie in your mind of what a dream life really is.

Renovations can feel overwhelming. It’s all about prioritizing what’s important to you and knowing what you love.

The high kitchen shelf from Nancy Meyers’ “It’s Co The high kitchen shelf from Nancy Meyers’ “It’s Complicated” kitchen was living rent free in my brain.

I’ve lived so so many places as a kid and adult. Whenever I move into a place and it feels sterile, I stress!

I need a lived in feeling and this dining room was giving me temporary apartment vibes. 

Seriously, decor and design can make ANY space feel like a home. Your home.

I spend a lot of time sanding this. It was actually really therapeutic actually as I was processing the passing of an old friend.

I was also caught grief sanding in my garage wearing what I call my urban YETI uniform when a neighbor dropped by. 

I looked like a crazy person (I am). It gave me a laugh.

I love how it turned out. It gives the space an opportunity for decorative objects, and feels like a cozy little roof.

It also turned the blinds into a sort of inset blind vibe that elevates the tone. 

I had these outside mounted so they match the rest of the room where some windows require it.

It’s 8 inches deep. That’s the measurement that felt right and it fit my future French soup tureens. 

You’ve got to take a chance if you want something incredible. It’s just nails, paint and time. It holds the feeling of your home.

When your home reflects what you feel inside, your experience in life just improves everywhere.

The baby diaper brown paint was stealing my joy! I The baby diaper brown paint was stealing my joy! It felt overwhelming to figure out the style, solutions and repairs this patio needed.

When you’re overwhelmed, it’s just that you’ve got to figure out your priorities. 

When Everything feels equally important the list is too long and you feel paralyzed with where to start. 

This goes for your day today-unspiral from the overwhelm and focus on the priorities.

When I was ready to stop looking at that terrible color, I got out the paint samples and started imagining the deck all white.

What helped me what visiting a nearby winery that had a similar structure. It was Texas but still had a European vibe and fit into the landscape.

Get out there and soak up some beautiful inspiration.

I made this project my focus for a month and then called the painters and then moved on to the rest of the exterior in chunks. Then it was time to call the painters!

to say I’m obsessed with it would be an understatement. 

It brightens this whole room 

The green trees on the property just pop against it. The blue of the water looks even more crystal clear.

This big blank wall in the living room made me fee This big blank wall in the living room made me feel like I was living in a box with no personality or charm. 

It felt so drab and cold.

Without even measuring, I purchased the sideboard on the spot at @theporch in Round Top and brought it home.

It fit! 

I knew it was me because it had neutral tones and a french feel.

It has evolved over the years and it almost feels like a built in part of our home at this point.

The large art was a definite yes. I had seen it for years and it felt so me.

That’s how I know an investment piece is right-it will feel so YOU!

The formula for this vignette:
A base piece of furniture
Large scale art
Picture Light
Frames
Lamps
Piled books
Objects of interest

You can feel even in this small area before and after design that the feeling has changed!

Tiny changes create massive emotional shifts.

Now this space makes me feel comforted, rich in life and rooted.

Comment COLOR and I’ll dm you the exact colors/bra Comment COLOR and I’ll dm you the exact colors/brands that we used to achieve this look.

We lived here for years before tackling the exterior and it was kind of painful.

Every time I’d drive home, I knew I loved my house but geez it was so BROWN! 

It felt like an old mission or outpost.

It didn’t feel like me and it kind of dragged me down. 

I’m a woman who lives a beautiful life, what’s wrong with my house? ha!

I kept looking at photos of other homes to see what could be achieved here.

although I couldn’t find exact matches, I got inspired and bold. 

I knew I was always drawn to white and yellow homes the most so I just started testing.

It was horrifying part way through because there is no going back!

Remember this: You have to see it in your mind first and then it can become a reality. It’s ok if it takes a few steps in the wrong direction, just keep at it and the look will come to life in your mind.

You’ll know when it’s right. Then call the painters!
