Cuyana Leather Travel Case Set Review – Four Year Update

The Leather Travel Set from Cuyana sits on top of a black Away suitcase, and there are two journals next to the travel set

As so much time has passed since I first reviewed Cuyana’s leather Travel Case Set (that was way back in 2018 – can you believe that was four years ago?), today I thought I would share an update on how I feel about these leather cases and show how they’ve held up over the years. …

Away Everywhere Bag Review + Packing Tips

Alyssa stands in the left of the frame, wearing a black sweatshirt, blue jeans, tan belt, and a green scarf. She is carrying the Everywhere Bag from Away on her left shoulder

Note: this is a review of the Original Everywhere Bag; Away has also released a slightly different version called the New Everywhere Bag.

Choosing the Right Jewelry for Travel, Featuring GLDN

Alyssa stands in a beam of sunshine, wearing a navy silk short sleeve dress, and a pendant necklace with two mini hoops in her right ear. She is pulling her hair out of the way and smiling downward

When we pack for a trip, we largely consider the essentials: IDs, cards, and currency. Medication. Clothing. Shoes. Toiletries. But we often leave one category for last, if we even consider it at all: Jewelry. Just because something is small doesn’t mean it should be an afterthought. The jewelry we choose to pack and wear …

2021 Cyber Weekend Deals

Two piggy banks, one is teal and one is white with polka dots. There is a stack of coins on the left.

Is your email inbox as inundated with “deals! deals! deals!” emails as mine is? I feel like I’ve edited my subscription list down to just a few, and somehow I seem to keep getting added back onto lists… In any case, I spent some time yesterday during the car ride down to visit my family …

2021 Holiday Gift Guide: Budget Gifts Under $25

A red gift bag with white snowflakes

The gift guide that is always the most fun to put together isn’t the luxe guide or the gifts “for her”, where I get to slip in dream gifts or ones that are on my list – it’s this one. Although prices climb steadily year after year, there are still so many great things you …
