It happens to the best of us — sometimes you’re just not feeling yourself and need a little pick-me-up. For the most part I’m a pretty positive person but there are times when I have a tough day or week.

Happy Shopping!
Planning a vacation can be both fun and stressful. I, of course, always make multiple lists to make sure I’m organized so I can save time, money and reduce stress. One of the things I’ve been thinking about lately is what are the essential items that I take on every trip?
You know those things that come in handy no matter what state, city or country you are in? Those really smart items that you think — “I’m so glad I brought this!”
I’ve started a list of some ideas and would love for you to join in and help me compile a really great collection.
Now that I’ve got you started on your summer to-do list…it’s time to check out some seasonal lists. I had the great pleasure of creating three lists for VMV Hypoallergenics’ INSKIN Magazine!
The magazine is distributed in their stores around the world and also digitally on their website. You may remember hearing about them from me — I’ve been good friends with their CEO, Laura Verallo de Bertotto, forever and even highlighted her as one of my Featured List Producers.
I hope you enjoy these lists in the magazine:
