Quick weekend getaways are some of my favorite kinds of vacations. You don't need to pack a giant suitcase, you don't have to sleep away from your own bed for too long, but you get to scratch the vacation itch. Memorial Day is in two weeks, and since the weather's getting warm, it's the perfect time for a little getaway to the beach, or the lake, or somewhere else warm and sunny. So let's talk about weekend packing lists!

Something Philip and I decided on a few years ago was to give more EXPERIENCE gifts. I mean, obviously I love flowers or a new pair of shoes (and he does great on those too), but sometimes an experience like a trip, or a date, or a whole day to myself is the best kind of gift.  And with Mother's Day this weekend, how about the gift of....an entire day in bed. 

During the summer when it's hot and sticky and I'm running around playing with my kids, the last thing I want to do is my hair.  So today I'm super excited to be teaming up with Conair to share an amazing hair tool, the Bun-2-Done, that lets you pull your hair up out of your face WHILE doing it for you throughout the day.
