The Figs and Flights motto is "life fueled by food and travel."

{Life and links} are my lists for creating the very best life between trips, delicious foods, and comfortable/smart travels. Themes vary seasonally, include tips and tricks, and my favorite things. It's the stuff that's so good I need to share it with you. 

Here's what you should to know about the things that I recommend:
  • I will only recommend items that I use and absolutely LOVE
  • When you shop via Amazon through Figs and Flights links I receive a small commission - thank you!
  • I'd love to hear what you think about my recommendations! Shoot me an email or tag me on Instagram to show off your favorite new thing.
  • See all of my favorite items using the LIFE tab

For the second year in a row I am so excited to share the Best Books I've read with my bookworm friends. (Waves enthusiastically.) Let's connect on Goodreads to share book recommendations year-round.

There's no better place to read than on a long flight to somewhere far, far away but in 2020 most of my reading was done at home.

Here are the very best best books I've read in 2020. The links take you to Amazon where you can get a proper book or an ebook. You can also find these books at your local bookstore or library.

Disney Parks are some of my favorite places to visit. It's the happiest place on Earth ​after all!

Recently I spent a week in Orlando visiting all four Disney Parks. 

Start here if you're researching for an upcoming Disney trip. ​

Every time I go to Walt Disney World I'm a little bit more prepared for the magic!

With all of the planning and money spent, you want to be sure you're making the most of your visit and staying as comfortable as possible along the way. 

Here are the things you absolutely must-have for your next visit to the happiest place on Earth. Buy them now and stuff them into Christmas stockings for your Mickey loving friends and relatives!

This quarantine life has me cooking so much more than usual.

It's also got me evaluating everything. What do I like? What don't I like? What do I need more of? What do I need less of? Which things make me really happy? 

In my ongoing effort to cook often and create foods that are fresh and flavorful I've rounded up the kitchen tools that make eating well easier. I've got a ton of gadgets and gismos and these are the best ones that I find myself using frequently.

Yoga Favorites {Life and Links}

Yoga is something I'd always wanted to explore. I forced myself to try it when Bryce and I had only one car when I'd be at home with motivation to move but without any wheels. I surrendered myself the spare room floor with an iPad and a yoga mat (which I've since upgraded) and learned to slow the F&$% down for the first time in my life. 

It's the only workout I can do at home. TAKE A BIG, DEEP BREATH RIGHT NOW. Smile. Okay, let's do this. 
​

If you're going to tell me that yoga is boring or too slow just think of a nap and much you love those. Yoga is a little awake-and-moving nap. It leaves you feeling rested and refreshed and at least three notches happier every single time. 

Yoga is MAGIC and if you're ready for more, in quarantine or otherwise, I'm happy to share my favorite yoga inducing items with you!

This can become your happy place quite quickly!

I love to read, I'm always reading a book if not more than one. I love novels, autobiographies, travel related reads, and more. Old school paper books are my favorite. I am always picking up and dropping off books from the Seattle Public Library. 

Here are the very best best books I've read in 2019. The links take you to Amazon where you can get a proper book or an ebook. I'm sure you can find most of these at your local bookstore or library.

Let me know if you've also read any of these books, or if you're inspired by my list to do so!
