  1. Wow, I have to say I’m super impressed!! My first thought was definitely “how is this going to be travel friendly??” so I was so surprised to see how small it is. I’ve always struggled with my skin so I’m usually willing to try ANYTHING that reduces the likelihood of breakouts. Might just give it a go! Are these available in stores or only online?

    • It’s incredible how travel friendly everything is. I am honestly in love with it and have taken it on 2 trips now without any problems. And it totally has helped with my breakouts. I believe they are only available online, but you can get 20% with my code (though it’s still not active so thanks for your patience!)

  2. Really interesting solution to travel makeup! I’m wondering what you use for eye makeup removal? I was using the same liquid remover I use at home, but it kept leaking/spilling while traveling, so I switched to wipes, but they only come in really bulky packaging that takes up a lot of space and also seem to be more general makeup removers than specifically for eyes. Any reccos would be so appreciated!

    • My favorite eye-makeup remover solution for travel is packing a small container of organic coconut oil. It turns into a solid state at room temperature, so you don’t need to worry about it spilling, and it’s actually really good for your skin. You can rub it right onto your eye like an ointment and then use tissue paper to wipe everything off. I have acne-prone skin so I only use it as eye makeup remover, but you can use it as cuticle oil and as a deep conditioning treatment too!

      • Really interesting solution Kiersten, thanks!!

Escape the winter chill for a place where the sun shines all year ☀️ @waldorfastoriacostarica

This brand-new property is truly a dream—incredible ocean views, luxury amenities, and more pools than I’ve ever seen at a hotel in my entire life.

🧖‍♀️ The Spa

A sanctuary of modern wellness and local healing traditions—volcanic mud rituals, rainforest-inspired therapies, and personalized treatments that feel deeply grounding.

🛎️ Amenities

World-class service, beachfront access, curated excursions, a stunning collection of pools, and elevated touches everywhere you turn. Newly opened, but already operating like a seasoned 5-star icon.

💦 Kids’ Club

With crafts, toys and an outdoor playground—traveling with littles has never felt so easy (or so fun). 

🥑 The Food

Fresh, locally sourced Costa Rican flavors blended with elevated dining. Oceanfront bites, poolside snacks, and beautifully crafted dishes you don’t have to leave the property to enjoy.

🦜 Nature & Wildlife Adventures

Costa Rica never disappoints when it comes to nature, but this trip was next-level. We took a private boat tour with @nolimitadventurescr and the kids are still talking about it. We spotted turtles gliding through the water, discovered remote beaches, and even squeezed in some tubing—pure magic for the little ones and the grown-ups alike.

We’re already counting the days until we come back. ✨ If you’re looking for a luxury family-friendly getaway in Costa Rica, this is your spot!

A huge thank you to @waldorfastoriacostarica for hosting us on this sunshine-soaked getaway!

I found foodie paradise… and it’s in New England 🦞🍩🍺
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••⁠
More specifically, Portland, Maine!

Last fall I took a roundtrip around New England for some leaf peeping, fall frolicking, and most importantly, for all of the eats. And while there are a LOT of incredible places to eat around New England, it’s Portland that has some of the absolute best foods.

From sweet potato donuts to fries made in duck fat to some of the best oysters I’ve ever had, this place is literally heaven.

Some of our fav spots:

If you want even MORE of the best local food spots around all of New England, I’ve compiled an extensive guide.

Let me know if you want the MAP and I’ll be sure to send it your way!

These might just be the best travel bags ever ✨ 
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••⁠
Ollie and I recently traveled to Washington and brought the @noreceptionclub travel bags along. And I have to say, these bags have completely changed how I pack with a toddler. Traveling with a little one means not only making sure you have every snack, every toy, and every detail covered — but also making sure you have it all within reach. And if it can look good too? All the better. 

We brought with us:

• The Getaway Bag, which works as a diaper bag when your kids are extra little (and as a family travel backpack for bigger kids), includes customizable compartments, an insulated lunch bag and even stroller clips!
• The Hideaway Carry-On Duffel with a cubby system and dividers that you can pull out and hang in hotel closets for optimal convenience. It even has backpack straps and a luggage pass-through for other carrying options!
• The Sidekick V2 has its own compartment in the Getaway Bag and is great for small day trips and hands-free storage. The mesh pockets hold smaller items while the magnetic flap in the back makes it easy to grab baby wipes fast!
• The Dopp Kit, made with parents in mind, keeps personal care essentials organized and accessible.
•The Sliders Complete Set with clear windows and smart compartments making it easy to see and grab everything you need!

Pack smarter for family adventures and get your hands on the @noreceptionclub bag that speaks to you! Use BLONDEABROAD20 for $20 off purchases of $150 or more
