There's No Place Like Home

These cuties slept overnight in the airport with me, traveled on two planes, and spent two weeks on our transatlantic cruise, arriving safely in the Netherlands, where they've been patiently hopping between Airbnbs until we find an apartment. Beauty & The Beast was always one of my favorite comfort shows and I could never find it anywhere digitally, so I ordered the boxed set and this classy case to keep them compact and safe, instead of fighting with hard plastic every three episodes. If you love this show, or have another favorite, grab a blanket and light this apothecary candle for the perfect cozy evening.

The Ghosting America Survival Pack

I would not have survived the trip without this backpack. And I still use it now when my partner and I travel in Europe. (Yes, the Baubelbar Mickey bag charm is unnecessary and extra. But traveling is stressful and you need to feel cute.) The AirTags were necessary because this wasn't just a vacation. We packed our entire life, including my live-streaming gear, into eight suitcases. And as you probably guessed, there are no salon appointments in my near future, so I use this dry shampoo to freshen up my hair between washes. It smells so good and works like a charm.

Girls Night / Date Night

Reign is another one of my absolute favorite comfort shows. Not sure how, because it can be morbid and violent at times, but maybe it's the incredible acting, romance, and scenery. Watching it while actually in Europe makes it especially surreal. Sadly, I wasn't able to fit this gorgeous blanket into my suitcase, so I had to leave it behind, but if you get one, I can live vicariously through you. As for the candle, I first discovered it almost ten years ago, burning behind a speakeasy bar at the Maxwell Mansion in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. It's been my favorite candle ever since and I still use it a decade later. Miraculously, it's available here in the Netherlands, so my prayers have been answered.
