TRAVEL TIPS

5 things I learned on my first cruise with Royal Caribbean

When Royal Caribbean asked me to join them on the inaugural sailing of their new ship, Symphony of the Seas, I pretty much said yes right away. I had never been on a cruise before and I needed to see what this #cruiselife was all about. The experience was awesome, so as a first-timer, I wanted to share the top 5 things I learned on my first cruise.

How to beat jet lag

I love sleep. Like, I’m a zombie if I don’t get my 8 hours. I just can’t shake that groggy feeling you get when you’re overly tired. (Screw you, jet lag.)

Another thing I love is travel. Flying across oceans, exploring new cities, trying new foods. Crossing time zones makes it pretty much impossible to reconcile sleep and travel. Can’t a girl see the world while being well rested?!

Thankfully, I have picked up a few tips and tricks to help me sleep on planes and beat jet lag once I land.

My Clean Beauty Travel Essentials

Admittedly this post is a bit of a shift in my normal content, but clean beauty and transparent brands are such a big part of my life that it felt weird to not talk about it.Shockingly enough, beauty in the US hasn’t been regulated in 80 years. That’s right 8-0. So since 1938, corporations have been able to sneak in toxic chemicals and a whole bunch of other shit into our makeup, skincare, and sunscreen. Luckily brands like Follain and Credo Beauty are making it easier to find clean beauty products and to educate ourselves on how to make better choices.
