We’ve had to get so creative with how we spend our time with 4 (almost 5) kids in 1,150 square feet; I think I’ve purchased every board game and puzzle I’ve seen in thrift stores. Tips and Tricks for Survival at Home – Tip 3: Have family dance parties. Our newest favorite music to listen to is GoNoodle’s new CD, Best Of GoNoodle. We’ve listened every day since getting the CD (their music is also available on all major streaming platforms), and the entire family cannot resist joining in.

There’s this invisible force in motion that somehow makes one feel compelled to be doing something all the time, turning the energy outward and towards productivity and accomplishing things instead of inward for reflection. I feel like I’m sandwiched in a crowd of people moving onward, and if I didn’t, I’ll just be led to go with the flow, or I’ll feel like I’m missing out on precious time. In between my unmotivated days where I get up at 10am every morning and spend my whole evening bingeing on Netflix, I’ve fortunately managed to set my course on a few new projects, such as: Launching my very first course! This is a whole new project outside of blogging and travel, so I’ve been pretty focused with picking up new knowledge, skills and pushing myself outside my comfort zone (especially with speaking in front of the camera!).

Explore the cultural heritage of Scotland as well as some artefacts from around the world at the National Museum of Scotland. Once an industrial city, Glasgow is now the cultural capital of Scotland, where you’ll find several attractions, both old and new, to make your trip more memorable. It will ultimately depend on what other parts of Scotland you want to explore while you’re there. This one is really up to you, depending on which other parts of Scotland you plan to visit on your Scotland trip, unless you’re planning a city break only.

I often travel with nothing but a carry-on bag to fit my essentials, so these skincare essentials are suitable for in-flight skin woes as well as skincare throughout your trip. Before we get to the skincare essentials, we need to talk for just a minute about WHY you can’t bring your home skincare routine on a plane. Toner is great for your skin during flight, but you shouldn’t use it without cleansing your face first (we’ll talk about cleansing wipes in the next section). Remember that you’re going to need to care for your skin multiple times during your flight, so you don’t want to apply anything that sticks and doesn’t want to come off.

As much as you should enjoy savouring local cuisines, you should also look at keeping up a similar diet to when you’re home, so that your digestive system doesn’t get too confused when you eat rich foods. If the trip is long, it is advisable to have lunch or a second breakfast, since it will provide us with a while of rest and will provide us with the necessary nutrients. If you are going to be on an unchanged path for a while, driving for example, you should invest a little of your time in learning a language through audios or listening to positive uplifting podcasts to improve your personal or professional life. It’s so easy to come home exhausted with no desire for anything but rest or getting involved in housework that you may not be giving your family the attention they need.

This is the very first of the SEO Success Story series where I seek to bring to light some successful case studies of creators who’ve implemented SEO strategies and made it work! Travelling Thirties is a travel blog that largely focuses on Europe and Australia travel as well as general travel tips and resources. After attending one of Isabel’s webinars, her SEO course seemed like an “easy” way to learn about SEO. The biggest takeaway from the course is the importance of Keyword Research and targeting many smaller keywords than big competitive keywords that are targeted by big bloggers and companies.

A Daily Something was founded by Rebecca Gallop to share & celebrate the simple daily somethings that make life beautiful, & to inspire slow, intentional living. We added roasted in-shell peanuts (we roasted them ourselves) on our board, and it’s our new favorite cheese board must-have. These roasting instructions will yield a mildly flavored peanut to include on your fall back-to-routine cheese board, and the natural saltiness nicely complements the sweetness of the fruit! *NOTE** Roasting raw in-shell peanuts using this quick, simple method will produce mildly flavored peanuts when cracked open and removed from shell.

Whether you’re planning to trek independently or book through a local agency, you need to consider several things while planning your trek in Nepal. While bottled mineral water is available on most of the teahouse treks, this is not good for the environment and in certain areas, the hotel associations have banned single-use plastic water bottles. Purify the water with your own water bottle like LifeStraw or buy water purifying tablets or drops. Perhaps you don’t trek often and wouldn’t want to buy new clothes you’ll use for only 2 or 3 weeks.

I want to introduce you to trekking in Nepal and some of the best treks Nepal has to offer. However, some of the other best treks in Nepal might not be familiar to you so this article is here to encourage you to go off the beaten trail and explore more hikes in Nepal. Permits are required for almost all treks; some even require special permits, so be sure to do adequate research before embarking on any of them. Here are 17 best Nepal treks I’ve done, in no particular order, for it would be really hard to choose an absolute favourite.

The Main Branch is 1 of 4 research branches in New York City, so you’ll often find scholars and academics here, making this library the haunt of New York’s academic elite. As the only library in the United States that’s entirely devoted to fiction, it holds a unique place amongst New York libraries, and bookworms will be fascinated to discover its vast collection. Having its own building since 1937, the New York Society Library has a wide collection of rare books that were donated by Mozart librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte, as well as rare texts from early settler John Winthrop. Libraries such as The Morgan Library & Museum or the General Society Library tell a story of New York City’s economic history from big banking to trades and crafts.
