Hey friends, I know your inbox is probably drowning in Cyber Monday emails, so I’m keeping this short and only sharing the things that are genuinely worth your time. First — a quick reminder: only buy what you actually need. A sale is only a deal if it’s something you’ll truly use. Otherwise, it eats up your budget, your space, and eventually ends up in a landfill. We all work too hard for that. Here’s the quick little gut-check I use before I buy anything today: Would I buy this at full...

Hi friends, If you’re celebrating, I hope you’re gearing up for a relaxing Thanksgiving tomorrow... or at least one with minimal kitchen chaos.

Hey friends, As we inch toward the holidays, I’ve been thinking about how this season can bring equal parts excitement and chaos. Between planning gatherings, finding flights, and bracing for the first snow, sometimes the best thing you can do is pause and dream up your next escape...or at least plan one while airfare is down. If you need a dose of inspiration (or distraction), here’s what I’ve been working on lately: ✈️ Survey: Nearly Half of Americans Used AI to Plan a Trip—But Most Still...
