Give Day 17: Give the Day

"Kidnap" a friend for the day and treat them to your favorite drive, museum, coffee shop, hike or quaint little town.

Spend the whole day "off the radar".

I do this with my mom and sister as much as I can. It's the best!

Give Day 15: Give Holiday Travel Tips

Know someone who is travelling this holiday season? Offer to help them pack. 

This used to be one my least favorite tasks and I must do it often. In fact, very soon my family and I will be heading to Mexico for our family vacation. I know my girls won't do their packing until 5 minutes before we leave so in hopes to make sure things run smoothly, I am offering to help them pack the day before we depart. 


I plan to let them in on some very helpful travel advice that I learned from a friend of mine,  Sandra Lepholtz (she's also a very gifted Reiki Master). She recommends packing your suitcase like a present. Place shoes on the bottom. Then lay your clothes from the center of the suitcase over the sides. Fill the middle with intimates. Then fold the clothes over. You're set! 


Fingers crossed my girls will follow suit...
