Home Away

We all love traveling, but don't always enjoy being away from home and your own bed. Whenever I travel, I try to make my hotel stays as close to home as possible by packing things that remind me of my routine at home. 

Things I pack to make my hotel feel just like home: 

+ I am always listening to music while I get ready every day or I play Will & Grace or Friends while I put on makeup. I always pack my Beats Pill speaker so I can do both of these things the same way.

+ I am a huge fan of candles and always have them burning in my room and/or bathroom. Scents are so familiar and trigger memories and comfortable feelings, so I pack my candles and light them in my hotel rooms. This probably helps the most. 

+ Every night before I go to bed I spray a lavender & eucalyptus spray on my pillows to help me relax and sleep better. This is always with me when I travel so I feel like I am falling asleep the same way. 

These three things alone make me feel like I have a little piece of home wherever I am. That's really the point -- pack things that remind you of your room and your normal routine. It makes traveling a lot more comfortable for me especially when I am traveling alone.
