In this day-in-my-life vlog, I’m doing all my favorite pre-trip prep before Chicago—aka the kind of stuff that makes me feel way more put-together once I’m actually there. I’m packing, getting my bag situation together, and making sure I have those little “comfort items” that always save me when I’m traveling. I also share some of the exact things I keep on hand (especially for staying hydrated and feeling good on the go), because I’m very much a “plan ahead so I can relax later” person. I’m also doing a little beauty maintenance moment—new hair, an at-home manicure with press-ons, and just overall getting myself feeling fresh. And of course, there’s some cozy real-life stuff mixed in too, like cooking with my boyfriend and just doing the normal routines that make everything feel balanced before a trip. It’s a realistic reset-style vlog with travel prep, beauty, and homey vibes all in one—basically my ideal combo.
