jennifercooley+FollowWhy I Stopped Taking My Expensive Jewelry On TripsI work in the jewelry world and I travel whenever I can, so I thought I knew how to keep my pieces safe. Then I lost my favorite earring at a beach in Greece and spent the rest of the day combing the sand like a detective with no clues. That was my wake-up call. Now my travel jewelry is simple. I pack huggie hoops or studs that won’t fall out, stainless steel that can handle sweat and salt, and plain chains without fragile links. My necklaces get threaded through straws so they never tangle, my studs go through buttons so pairs stay together, and I keep everything in tiny zip pouches. If it would break my heart to lose it, it stays at home unless I’m going to a wedding or something truly special. That rule has saved me a lot of stress and regret. #TravelTips #JewelryCare #PackingHacks #TravelSmart #Jewelry 172Share
Kelly Mack+FollowWhy You’ll Regret Skipping Rain Gear HereRick Steves just confirmed what every soggy tourist in Britain and Ireland already knows: rain is basically a local. No matter when you visit, you’ll get hit with surprise showers—sometimes more than 200 days a year! Even if you’re a carry-on-only type, don’t skip a lightweight rain jacket, layers, and waterproof shoes. You’ll thank yourself when you’re pub-hopping in Dublin or snapping pics at Big Ben instead of sprinting for cover. Rain or shine, these spots are worth it—just pack smart! #TravelTips #RickSteves #UKTravel #IrelandTravel #PackingHacks #Travel00Share
