OMG! I can’t believe it’s Monday already! And I am actually pretty excited!
Okay, guys, don’t be so shocked. It is indeed possible to be excited about Monday!!!
Fine, I’ll admit to it. There IS a reason I am happy today. I’ve been keeping it from you for a while and I can’t hold on to it anymore out of my pure excitement!
I’ll be travelling to Europe in a week and a half!!! I KNOOOOOW, this is so excting! I haven’t been there in almost 3 years, and this time around I have Ukraine, France and Spain on the itinerary. I’m super stoked to see my family and friends, and explore all places I’ve never been to before. Woop woop!
Needless to say, last two days were spent brainstorming on what gifts I should get and for whom. I might have had a bit of a panic attack and a mental break down, but then I decided to be a big girl and took the situation under control. I was surprisingly lucky when I went shopping, I am almost done! The only big tasks left are: to book a couple of bus tickets between cities in Spain, hotels in Paris and Barcelona, and… well… PACKING!
I really liked the idea behind the 5-4-3-2-1 rule to pack lighter.
Obviously, I need to make sure to include my workout gear too: a sports bra, 2 tops, jogging pants and light-weight running shoes *more on that tomorrow*. I am super excited to go for jogs in new places, therefore, it’s a must. Also, the Spartan Race is only 6 weeks away!!!
Here are some more suggestions I came across online.
What are the things you can’t travel without? How do you avoid taking too mucg with you?

I really like that rule too. I will be traveling A LOT in the next month and this is great to keep in mind. My husband is a typical male packer. It drives me nuts sometimes.
I KNOOOOOW! It’s like, why do you rub it in my face?!?!?! Ahaha! I hope you have fun travelling, can’t wait to hear about it more, darling. xoxo
Girl, I hope you have so much fun! You deserve a vacation! These packing tips are great – and reminds me that I have a school trip coming up…
You are so sweet! Yay to as chool trip! Where to? xoxo
Awesome – that sounds like a great trip!! Lucky girl!!
Thank you Jason! xoxo
A trip to Europe?!! That’s awesome I hope you have so much fun. And packing is my worst skill It’s kind of a joke in my family that I’ll always bring the biggest tavel bag.
I wish I could say the same, but I don’t think my hubby sees it as a laughing matter anymore ahahhahaha! xoxo
Wow, you’re going to have so much fun!! Can’t wait to hear about it!! I love this rule! It’s a great one because I do have trouble packing for trips!! I make lists on top of lists!!
I am such a list person too! I’m dreading it lol! xoxo
Haha, I understand!! 🙂
YAYYY!! I’m excited for you to go back!! I am a known overpacker *guilty face. I typically lay everything out that I’m going to pack, and then have to eliminate half of it because apparently I don’t need my whole closet (at least according to my family…). My necessary items (aside from the obvious clothing): hair products, shoes for different occasions (running included), makeup, and allergy meds haha
I feel like it’s going to happen to me too lol! Oh well, I guess I’ll reorganize my drawers at the same time… as a part of the Hapiness project HA! ;D xoxo
awww, thats’ so exciting!!! I hope you have a great time and stay safe! I usually don’t have too much trouble packing light because I tend to wear a lot of the same stuff over and over again, but I really like the 5-4-3-2-1 rule.
It’s funny, because I’m the same way, I tend to wear the same things.However, when it comes to packing, I am lost! I have all these possibilities running through my head haha! xoxo
That’s a great packing tip! Have fun in Europe – but I think that’s a given!
Thank you and thank you, darling! xoxo

First of all I would like to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if
you don’t mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear
your thoughts before writing. I have had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my ideas
out. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are
generally wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any
ideas or hints? Kudos!
Hey there, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, very good
blog!
Very soon this web site will be famous amid all blog people, due
to it’s nice content
