Prior to my 17-day European adventure, I had so many questions about what to pack and what to expect in terms of weather. If you're in the same boat, this guide is here to help! Packing & Travel Essentials BAGAIL Packing Cubes , $25 For any long trip (or any trip really) packing cubes are a must! This set is affordable, high-quality, and versatile. I used the cubes to organize my underwear/socks, thermal/lightweight clothes, tops, and bottoms. Plus, this set has a shoe bag that fits a pair of booties or two pairs of normal shoes perfectly so you won't have to worry about dirtying your clothes. And if that's not enough, a toiletry bag is included that perfectly fits full-sized products (I stored my hairspray, thermal spray, and dry shampoo inside) plus spots to keep makeup brushes or like items secure. TESSAN Universal Power Adapter , $19 This adapter worked perfectly with both UK and EU outlet converters. The USB ports were convenient for charging multiple devices at
Looking for something to fill your wall other than a boring photo collection? Use your favorite vinyl records and music-related memorabilia to create a stand-out area in your home. To create my vinyl wall, I purchased these vinyl record frames from Michael's for six of my favorite records. (A three-pack costs $25.) I also framed a vintage Woodstock Time magazine using this frame from Target for $8. Lay out your framed records/items on the floor to choose your ideal layout. Start at the top corner, measuring evenly as you mount. I used simple frame hooks and haven't had any issues with my wall. And just like that, there you have it! The best part is that you can always add more frames or switch the framed records as your music tastes change or new albums come out. Happy Monday!
