How to Survive Flights
These are a couple tips for surviving flights and I will definitely be making more travel related stories.
#1 Pack your own food.
Packing your own food will save you money because we all know how expensive airport food is. Even if the airline provides you with free food it is most likely not the healthiest or the tastiest. I’m speaking from experience because I got a sandwich wrap and it made me feel a little queasy and it didn’t taste the best. It also had wilted lettuce and some of the veggies looked old. However, not all airline food is terrible because I ordered a cheese and cracker platter and everything was fresh and it was delicious. Remember to pack a healthy meal to keep you energized and feeling good on the plane.
#2 Wear your comfiest clothes.
Do not dress up for your flight because it might wrinkle your nice clothes and because wouldn’t you like to be comfy while traveling. Wear your comfiest clothes on your flight because it will feel nice while navigating the airport and to help you sleep on your flight. If you have somewhere to be right after, bring your clothes in your backpack or carry on and you can change a little bit before your flight lands.
#3 Prepare for sleep.
Bring a comfy pillow and blanket to help you fall asleep or to just relax on your flight. I will now be bringing my own pillow and blanket because the ones they provide you on flights aren’t my favorite and so I have extra comfort. Also if you have trouble falling asleep, bring melatonin or a sleeping aid to help you out.
#4 Don’t pack a lot in carry-ons.
If you are one of the last ones on a plane then there is most likely not gonna be a ton of space left in the cabin. Also, packing lighter will keep you from lugging a bunch of heavy and bulky bags around the airport. I made this mistake in 2015 because I brought a huge duffle bag and I am a small girl so it was difficult to lug it around the airport.
#5 Move throughout the plane.
Moving around during your flight will help you keep blood circulating and will keep you from getting sore muscles. I ALWAYS get sore on flights because I’m always sitting in the same place in a cramped seat and it makes your flight less enjoyable. Take this tip especially if you have a lengthy flight and you will thank me later.
#6 Stay hydrated.
Drink a ton of water the day of your flight, during your flight, and a few days before your flight. Staying hydrated is very important for staying healthy while traveling and helping to prevent headaches. I never did this when I traveled other times and I always got sick, felt nauseous, and got huge headaches. Staying hydrated will also keep your skin healthy.
#7 Choose a good airline.
Do some thorough research on all the airlines you are considering and don’t always buy the cheapest one. Look through reviews to see if it is comfy, the staff are nice, and overall ratings. Look for any malfunctions and when, also find out which airplane model is the best to take. I suggest watching a couple youtube videos that review and compare the different airlines. This helped me greatly for my up and coming trip to Georgia. Also try using Orbitz because they give you ratings, baggage details, cheapest prices, well-known airlines, and other flight details.
#8 Bring entertainment.
Your flight will most likely have Wi-Fi or entertainment, but most of the time you will have to purchase packages or pay for it. I suggest bringing a mobile device, coloring books, books, or paper for sketching. This will be especially helpful if you have a longer flight and/or layovers.
Happy traveling!

12 Closet Organization Tips
1. Use Shower Hooks for Shorts or Jeans Some of us don’t want to or don’t have the money to buy a dresser for things that don’t go on hangers. So just get cheap shower hooks from Walmart or Target and slide the hook through the loop of your pants. After that put the shower hook onto the rod and your all done. For leggings, just drape them over the hanger and put it in your closet.

Was I a Model in Japan?
During my time in Nagoya I worked and lived at the strangely famous hostel and café Nagonoya. With its chequered floors and florescent lighting it felt quite dated, but I think that was supposed to be part of the charm. The dorms were always fully booked on weekends with domestic tourists and there was always a buzz in the downstairs café. Camera crews were constantly in and out of the place interviewing the Japanese staff members who worked the café. I think it had something to do with the egg sandwiches. At least that was what was on most of the merchandise, except for that one dishcloth with the owner’s face on it. Was I being employed by a local celebrity?

Telluride
Nestled in a remote valley of the jagged San Juan Mountains in Colorado, Telluride draws visitors from around the world with its blend of old Western charm, vibrant contemporary culture, and breathtaking scenery. Originally a mining town, Telluride boomed in the late 19th century with the discovery of gold, silver, and, you guessed it, Tellurium. It was in Telluride that Butch Cassidy and his gang robbed one of their first banks. Telluride played a huge role in the creation of the Labor Movement with its mining worker strikes in the early 1900’s. And it became one of the first towns in the world to have commercial alternating current electricity thanks to Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse.
