Two Sisters
WHY TRAVELERS WILL LOVE THEM
As you know, I am a huge fan of self-care and I love that Two Sisters believe moms are at their best when they take the time to care for both their kiddos and themselves. I couldn’t agree more! Their bath bombs create luxurious bubble bath experiences (just make sure you drop it in as you start filling your bath). They smell incredible and kids love the surprises inside of them. They leave your skin feeling smooth and hydrated and not oily. I love to support companies owned by women and I love that their bath bombs are handmade in small batches by flex-working moms in the USA, in their home state of Minnesota!
WHAT PRODUCTS DID WE GET?
Oatmeal Milk & Honey Bubble Bath Bombs $7.99
Sleepy Time Bubble Bath Bombs (vanilla and lavender) $7.99
These bath bombs created the most soothing, relaxing baths. The Sleepy Time bomb smelled incredible and the lavender scent made me so calm and ready for a good night’s sleep. The oatmeal bomb was exactly what my dry skin needed and I felt like a new woman after that soak.
Berry Scent Bubble Bath Bombs (sea animal surprise) $7.99
Fruit Loops Scent Bubble Bath Bombs (mermaid surprise) $7.99
Bubble Gum Scent Bubble Bath Bombs (unicorn surprise) $9.99

Ingredients
WHY TRAVELERS WILL LOVE THEM
You know how much I pay attention to what I put on my skin…and especially what I allow my daughters to put on theirs. Ingredients has some of the cleanest products I’ve seen and they have worked wonders on my face, especially in these dry winter months. Wind, cold, and the heat in our house really effects my skin. These products worked quickly and I’ve had great results. I respect a company that is honest and transparent. Ingredients actually tells you what percentage of an ingredient is in each product.
WHAT PRODUCTS DID WE GET?
Face Serum ($48)
This organic, restorative serum contains anti-inflammatory and antioxidant nutrients that deeply hydrate and repair the skin. This daily essential contains Rose Hydrosol and Essential Oil to soothe, as well as powerful Calendula Extract to boost collagen production. Concentrated Aloe Extract hydrates the skin, while Vegetable Collagen and Tremella Mushrooms, a plant-based Hyaluronic Acid, improves skin density.
This serum was fantastic and I’ve applied it every night. What I most enjoy is it isn’t greasy. I hate when some serums get on your pillow and this one didn’t. It made my skin silky and helped with blemishes and redness.
Body Oil ($42)
This lightweight, organic body oil helps to restore the skin’s elasticity and natural lipid barrier with nourishing, unrefined Golden Jojoba and Baobab Oils that are rich in omegas, vitamins and antioxidants. The proprietary blend of anti-inflammatory Brazilian Cobaiba Balsam Oil, soothing Madagascar Vanilla Extract, and Vitamin C-packed Orange and Lavender Essential Oils work to improve skin texture. The non-comedogenic, plant-based formula is fast absorbing, leaving your skin soft and supple.
This body oil left my skin feeling hydrated and smooth. I love putting it on after I take a hot shower. Since my skin was so dry, I could practically hear my skin give a sigh of relief after I applied it.
Shea Butter Stick ($22)
This organic raw Shea Butter and Beeswax formula soothes, repairs and deeply nourishes the skin. The Shea Butter is extracted manually to retain its fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins A, E and F. The mild, non-comedogenic formula is fast absorbing and conveniently packaged for hands free on-the-go use.
This was one of my favorite products. I used it everywhere from the heels of my feet, my elbows, and dry spots on my arms. It is a great product to bring with you when you travel.
Deodorant Spray ($18)
This organic, stain-free deodorant is formulated with Organic Sugar Cane Alcohol and Saccharomyces ferment to effectively fight odor-causing bacteria and provide long-lasting odor protection without disrupting the body’s natural detoxification process. Formulated to dry quickly, this natural spray deodorant is free of aluminum and respects the skin’s natural pH level 5.5.
I wasn’t too sure about this product but it quickly changed my mind. I was surprised how fast it dried and I love the scent. It is pleasant but not overpowering. It also lasted all day.
Throat Spray ($34)
This organic Throat Spray contains concentrated Elderberry Juice. The proprietary blend of Ginger, Thyme and Turmeric Extracts is combined with Lemon Juice and Australian Meluka Honey to help soothe the throat.
I became obsessed with this throat spray this winter and would often tell my girls, “Do you want a squirt?” as they walked past me in the morning. I am always looking for new ways to use natural ingredients to keep us healthy. Plus…it tastes great!

Bathorium
WHY TRAVELERS WILL LOVE THEM
I was so happy when I opened this package from Bathorium. It was like getting a gift from a friend who really knows you. Bathorium believes their bath products should invigorate, restore, and rejuvenate you, and I believe they’ve achieved this. Their products made taking a bath more of a spa experience and a wellness routine you’ll want to keep up. I love that they don’t use any harsh chemicals or artificial fragrances in their products.
WHAT PRODUCTS DID WE GET?
Ancient Oat Hydration ($8)
Distilled pure chamomile essential oil illuminates your bath in a creamy floral lather. Luscious hydrating rice milks and ground organic oats feed dry skin while calendula flowers release their sweet gift.
I could have stayed in this tub for hours. The water became creamy and smelled like vanilla and chamomile. It made my skin feel incredible. I didn’t even have to apply an oil or moisturizer to my skin afterwards.
Milk Mineral Bath Soak (coconut & bourbon vanilla) ($18)
Creamy coconut milk, coconut Co2, and luscious oat milk create the base for this soak while light aromas of pure organic Madagascar bourbon vanilla envelop you.
Becalm Bubble Elixir (lavender & earl grey) ($26)
Creamy, dreamy and clean bubble bath formulated without the use of harsh surfactants and detergents. Frothy long-lasting bubble bubbles that elevate your bath time to the next level.
I love how pretty this bubble bath is and it sits on my tub. The lavender smell will fill your bathroom with a lovely scent and will immediately relax you. The bubbles last a long time, so you can spend a little more time in the tub.
Snooze Bomb ($10)
Watch as your tub turns a light shade of violet created by finely ground hibiscus flowers that release a soft floral fragrance in the water. Bergamot and patchouli oils relax your mind while our salts and butters moisturize the skin and leave the subtle scents of the essential oils on your skin long after you’re finished.
These bombs are beautiful and would make a lovely gift, or even something to add on to a gift card. The dried hibiscus flowers make it almost too pretty to use…but you have to because it will relax you and make your bath a calm way to end your day.

Her One Mistake
By: Heidi Perks
Charlotte was supposed to be looking after the children, and she swears she was. She only took her eyes off of them for one second. But when her three kids are all safe and sound at the school fair, and Alice, her best friend Harriet’s daughter, is nowhere to be found, Charlotte panics. Frantically searching everywhere, Charlotte knows she must find the courage to tell Harriet that her beloved only child is missing. And admit that she has only herself to blame.
Harriet, devastated by this unthinkable, unbearable loss, can no longer bring herself to speak to Charlotte again, much less trust her. Now more isolated than ever and struggling to keep her marriage afloat, Harriet believes nothing and no one. But as the police bear down on both women trying to piece together the puzzle of what happened to this little girl, dark secrets begin to surface – and Harriet discovers that confiding in Charlotte again may be the only thing that will reunite her with her daughter….
Forever with You
By: Barb Curtis
Jay Wynter wants to be successful on his own merit. That’s why he left Sapphire Springs and his family’s winery to build a career from scratch. But now that he’s successor to Wynter Estate, Jay must return to his small hometown to face everything, and everyone, he left behind-especially his high school sweetheart, who happens to be his stunning new business partner.
Leyna Milan knows family legacies come with strings attached, but she’s determined to prove that she can run her family’s restaurant. Of course, Leyna never expected that honoring her grandfather’s wishes meant opening a second location on her ex’s property-or having to ignore Jay’s sexy grin and guard the heart he shattered years before. But as they work closely together, she begins to discover that maybe first loves deserve a second chance.

Plum Paper planner
WHY YOU WILL LOVE THEM
I am a paper planner (even if it drives my husband crazy since he does everything electronically). I love that Plum Paper has so many colors and styles to choose from. You can choose from over 15 layout options and then customize the layout to your life. The binding is high quality and there is a thick clear protector over the cover. The paper is thick so you don’t have to worry about ink bleeding through. You can add custom events like birthdays and anniversaries to your monthly spread pages. Since I often buy new calendars at different times of the year, I like that you can choose your start month and the number of months you want in it. Finally, you can add additional pages to help with meal plans, budgeting, wellness and more! It truly is customizable to your life.
WHAT PRODUCTS DID WE GET?
6 Month Daily Planner
Size Large: 8.5×11
It was so hard deciding which one I wanted because there were so many that fit my personality. I love that you can personalize the cover with your name, company name, or even a quote. The size large planner is wonderful because I like to keep a daily planner on my desk and like lots of space to make extra grocery lists, reminders, and doodles.
I added a Habit Tracker to mine where you can list the habits you’re creating and lets you check them off each day.
It also allows you to reflect on your habits for the month. You can list your successes, your shortcomings, and how you will improve next month.
I also like that there is a folder in the back. There are also spots to write bullet notes, contacts, passwords, and a yearly calendar.
I also received a set of Blog Stickers. I love to decorate my planners with stickers and these are so cute!

Nail Shack
WHY YOU WILL LOVE THEM
I love to have my nails looking polished, but I don’t always have the time to do all the steps to make them look good. Nail Shack is a subscription box that gives you nail polish strips that you apply like stickers. They are so easy to use and they are wonderful to bring with you when you travel since they require no nail polish remover or lots of glass bottles. Nail Shack has such a large variety of styles and colors that you will never get bored with them. I also love that you can mix and match them. You can put them on all of your nails or use them for accent nails (which is what I like to do). I also like that they provide seasonal options in their boxes.
WHAT COMES IN EACH BOX?
Your NAILShack pack will include 4 full sets (one for every week) of high quality, easy to apply nail polish strips… PLUS a fun nail file, and a gentle cuticle pusher for easy flawless application!
WHAT PRODUCTS DID WE GET?
We actually received one more set but my teenage daughters got to it before I had a chance to use it. They loved them!
The nails strips were easy to apply and they give detailed directions on how to use them. I have used nail strips in the past and have not been happy with the results but I was pleasantly surprised at how long these stayed on. I would say they last about a week as long as you follow the directions.
