I've just returned from my first ever international girls trip! 

Cassie, my friend of ten years, and I met in Paris for a week. There ate, drank, explored, shopped, and lived our very best lives.

I feel so lucky to be able to travel as often as I do so I know I've got to pass along the travel tips I'm collecting along the way.  

Today I've rounded up the items which proved to be the most helpful during my week in Paris. Enjoy this list of girls trip must haves.

Please send it to your travel buddies to get your next trip planning started!

Here's everything you absolutely need for your international girls trip:

Happy belated Easter! This year was the first good Easter since 2019. Covid-times. Am I right?!

I hosted Easter brunch at my house. Between my husband's deviled eggs, my brunch dishes, and my BFF Jaclyn's desserts we outdid ourselves with the food! 

There's no Trader Joe's here in Hawaii! Did you know that? It is ironic since the TJs brand is always using that cute red hibiscus flower in their packaging. 

During a recent trip to Seattle I stocked up on my Trader Joe's Favorites. Here's the list!

Prefer video? Watch Trader Joe's Favs & a weekend in Seattle while I unpack the box of TJ's goodies.

Dig through my Trader Joe's Favorite items with me. We're talking TJ's kitchen towels, peanut butter cups (and almond butter cups), 99 cent cards and more!

Enjoy a long weekend in Seattle with me. We go from kids activities and yoga to a great meal in a historical dining room. Plus we do a little shopping in between!

This is one of my favorite traditions, a recap of the best books I've read all year.
