I GOT MY FIRST VACCINE!!
After weeks of waking up at 6 a.m. trying to secure an appointment for Linda and me on every vaccine supplying website you could imagine, we FINALLY got ourselves booked, and on Monday we got our first shot! And while I know we aren’t fully vaccinated yet and it will be quite sometime before vaccine access becomes more equitable, this was a major win for us. I just hope everyone who wants to be vaccinated is able to have a similar celebration moment.
Outside of this major win, I know I sound like a broken record, but I feel that change is on the horizon. The weather is getting warmer, the days are getting longer, and this time of year always reminds me of new beginnings. I feel like I’m walking around with an extra spring in my step, which might in part be because Linda and I are headed out on our first international trip since 2019…{keeping where we’re headed a surprise until we get there cause idk it sounds fun lol}.

TRAVEL
MORE COUNTRIES ARE OPENING TO VACCINATED TRAVELERS - This week was full of exciting news for travelers who have or plan to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Here are the latest openings:
3 WAYS TO CHECK HOW FULL YOUR FLIGHT IS - one of the biggest questions you might have when checking into an upcoming flight is ‘Is my flight going to be jam-packed?’ It was a question many of us only causally considered pre-pandemic, now it’s top of mind. I love how this article dives into some simple strategies on how you can *try* to avoid booking a full flight.
9 FAIRYTALE CASTLES YOU CAN RENT ON AIRBNB - because find me someone who doesn’t want to have a sleepover in a castle at least once in their life…
ACTIVISM
In light of recent horrific attacks against the Asian American community, I wanted to take a moment to send love to all of the Asian Americans in my Gals Abroad community. This has, and always will be a safe and inclusive space and I will continue to be an ally and use my platform to speak out against racism and work to dismantle the pervasive white supremacy in our country.
I wanted to share this Travel & Leisure article that gives you 7 tangible ways you can support the Asian Community right now.
CURRENTLY OBSESSING OVER
FAV PURCHASE - Linda and I have been really making an effort to eat healthier & cleaner in 2021…honestly I feel like I say that every year lol. But truly one of the things that has helped keep us on track is Daily Harvest. We’ve been getting deliveries since March of last year and I can’t say enough about the quality & efficiency of these little meals. IDK about you but I don’t always have the time to make healthy meals from scratch so this is my perfect quick go-to for breakfast and lunch. They have smoothies, oatmeal bowls, flatbreads and even ice cream. If this sounds like something you’d like to try click here to get $25 off your first box!
FAV READ - I’ve been working my way through Brendon Burchard’s book “High Performance Habits” and I think this is a GREAT read for anyone, no matter if you’re an entrepreneur or working a 9-5, on how to LEVEL up your life on all levels. The book walks you through what makes extraordinary people that way and how you can follow in their footsteps. I’ve started a notes page on my phone while I’m listening on audible and it is JAM PACKED with tips lol.
FAV FIND - IDK WHO NEEDS TO HEAR THIS BUT EVERYTHING ON ANTHROPOLOGIE THIS WEEKEND IS 20% OFF! It ends tonight so hurry hurry hurry!! I snagged this super cute Farm Rio PJ set, this perfect beach bag & some Volcano diffuser oils.

I think I just found your new fav follow on TikTok or IG {whatever floats your boat} Curve model Remi Bader has been doing these realistic clothing try-on videos and honestly it’s epic. My favorite are her Zara haul videos where she recreates the insane poses the models do on the website…TOO GOOD.
