ONTO THE NEXT ONE…

Back from one destination and off to another! This week Linda and I head back to one country I am absolutely certain many of you will LOVE and would like to visit/return to. It’s honestly at the top of most of mine and Linda’s client’s bucket lists. But I’m not gonna tell you where we’re going just yet….MUAHAHA the suspense.

I always like to play a little guessing game on my Instagram before heading out on a trip for dramatic effect but also because the first person who guesses right, I always send them a little souvenir I picked up from the destination when I return home. IDK just something fun and cute I like to do for my #galsabroadsquad

So if you want to guess where Linda and I are headed next, pop over to my IG stories and tell me where you think we’re going. First-person to get it right gets a gift!

Outside of prepping for this trip, I’ve spent the week tieing up loose ends, selling my clothes (THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SHOPPED THE CLOSET SALE!), gearing up for some exciting new projects in the coming months and…avoiding doing my taxes…(anyone else like to get those done and out of the way early?!)

ANYWHOOOO, I’m gonna keep it brief this week but make sure you check out some of this week’s articles + this week’s Happy Ending Video if you ever wonder what it’s like living with Linda hahaha.

CURRENTLY OBSESSED WITH

  1. CURRENTLY READING: I have two really huge public speaking gigs this year that have me equal parts pooping my pants with nerves (lolz) and jumping up and down with excitement. Even though I’ve spent nearly 10 years working on-camera, public speaking in front of 100s of people in a live audience is definitely a different skill set that I’d like to sharpen. So, when I think of some of the best and most impactful presentations, almost all of them are TED talks…So it only made sense that I read Talk Like TED - The 9 Public-Speaking Secrets of the World’s Top Minds. And the tips in here are AMAZING. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to get into public speaking, hosting or even getting more comfortable speaking in front of others.

  2. NOISE-CANCELING HEADPHONES - I’ve got a long haul flight this week and for too long I’ve endured the pains of screaming children as I try and push my regular AirPods deeper into my ear to try and drown out the noise…NO MORE. I upgraded to Apple’s AirPods Pro and I’ll let you guys know if they work. Say a little prayer for me hahaha.

  3. BOOTS ON SALE - I’m a sucker for a good boot (especially ones that I can wear and walk-in for HOURS when traveling. These guys come in 3 different colors and they’re on MAJOR sale right now. I’m bringing them with me on this trip and will report back on walkability. Or if you don’t want to wait because the sale might be gone, test them for yourself :)

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT…

HAPPY ENDING
