How To Layer Winter Travel Pin 1

Layering clothes for weather below 70˚ is a skill I simply did not have.

For people who live in cold climates, this is all basic stuff. But for people like me who live in warm climates, (and who start shivering when temperatures dip below 72 degrees), figuring what exactly you should be wearing at different temperatures actually took me a lot of trial and error.

How To Plan A Vacation Pin 1

Trip planning is… a lot.

When I was a kid, and my parents did all the trip planning, I thought planning a vacation contained two important steps. Step 1: Book Flight. And Step 2: Pack Suitcase. Ahh, the naivety. Since then, I have planned enough trips, (and gotten enough things wrong,) to know that planning the perfect vacation is a system. With so many things to think about, (and being a planner at heart,) I enjoy having a tried-and-true formula that guides me through the planning process. With this system, I can enjoy the trip itself and the planning process knowing that I left no stone unturned and no outerwear unpacked.

In fact, many of the most thoughtful and worthy gifts are right in front of us.

Here are my top 15 picks for the best gender neutral gifts you can give this year. All of these gifts are items that humans in 2020 will enjoy– we’re talking men, women, or anyone else.
