  1. Wow, I have to say I’m super impressed!! My first thought was definitely “how is this going to be travel friendly??” so I was so surprised to see how small it is. I’ve always struggled with my skin so I’m usually willing to try ANYTHING that reduces the likelihood of breakouts. Might just give it a go! Are these available in stores or only online?

    • It’s incredible how travel friendly everything is. I am honestly in love with it and have taken it on 2 trips now without any problems. And it totally has helped with my breakouts. I believe they are only available online, but you can get 20% with my code (though it’s still not active so thanks for your patience!)

  2. Really interesting solution to travel makeup! I’m wondering what you use for eye makeup removal? I was using the same liquid remover I use at home, but it kept leaking/spilling while traveling, so I switched to wipes, but they only come in really bulky packaging that takes up a lot of space and also seem to be more general makeup removers than specifically for eyes. Any reccos would be so appreciated!

    • My favorite eye-makeup remover solution for travel is packing a small container of organic coconut oil. It turns into a solid state at room temperature, so you don’t need to worry about it spilling, and it’s actually really good for your skin. You can rub it right onto your eye like an ointment and then use tissue paper to wipe everything off. I have acne-prone skin so I only use it as eye makeup remover, but you can use it as cuticle oil and as a deep conditioning treatment too!

      • Really interesting solution Kiersten, thanks!!

If you’re looking for a different kind of vacation destination, one that’s not all over your feed or overrun with tourists, then @expedia’s got you covered!

Expedia just launched Unpack ’26, their definitive guide to emerging travel trends for the year ahead, powered by first-party data from Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo, and enriched by global insights, Unpack is designed to help travelers explore more consciously and creatively.

Some of these were a HUGE surprise, but I wasn’t shocked to see The Cotswolds made the cut! I traveled there last fall and fell in LOVE! So much so that I’m planning a month-long stay with Ollie so he can enjoy all of the cute lambs and cozy cottages too!

The Cotswolds are a region in the UK compromising of over 100 villages and 300 towns! There’s so much to be discovered here, but these are the 7 villages you have to visit if you’re planning a trip to The Cotswolds this fall and beyond:

•Castle Combe
•Bourton-on-the-Water
•The Slaughters
•Stowe-on-the-Wold
•Broadway
•Snowshill
•Bibury

For more amazing, best-kept travel secrets, check out @expedia’s Unpack ‘26 list (in my stories) and hurry to book your travels before these less-explored gems become part of the beaten path!

Have you been to The Cotswolds? Which were your favorite villages?

Last year, I took my dream trip to New England to experience some exquisite leaf-peeping and all of the fall things with my mom and son and it was truly one of the most magical trips I’ve taken.

I did a ton of research and scoured the internet for the best of the best when it comes to fall foliage, farms, orchards, scenic drives, tasty eateries, cozy inns, and picturesque towns. And I want to pass that knowledge onto you!

If you’ve been dreaming of a trip across New England during the fall season, I created a New England travel guide and map, including my itinerary, a packing list, and a downloadable map of the region.

Here’s how we spent a weekend in Philadelphia #MarriottHotelsPartner 
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••⁠
We were lucky enough to stay at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, located right in the heart of the city! From there, we made sure to see the best the city had to offer families:

🥞 Breakfast at The Pantry (inside the Marriott!)
🖐️ Please Touch Museum
🔔 The Liberty Bell + Independence Hall
🍲 Lunch at Reading Terminal Market
💦 Splash time at Sister Cities Park
🧬 Visit the Franklin Institute
🏮 Chinese Lantern Festival in Franklin Square (annual summer event)

There’s so much for families to do in Philadelphia and being a Marriott Bonvoy member makes it so much more accessible. 

From the location to having toddler amenities on-hand and staff who actually understand what traveling with a toddler is like — it’s those small comforts that make a huge difference on family trips.

Thank you for the stay @MarriottHotels!
