Eating healthy and traveling are important to me, but the two don't necessarily go together. The more I eat healthy, the more I bring my own food when I travel. I literally have a "travel pantry" where I save non-perishables that would be travel friendly, so if I ever last minute decide to go for a beach picnic or weekend away, I have things on hand. All this is to say I've put a lot of thought into this.  What makes sense for your trip will vary, so use this as inspiration. It could be for a longer road trip, a business trip, a weekend away, whatever. You may have access to a fridge or kitchen which would change what is possible. If I'm gone for more than two days I'll bring my own salt, olive oil and Italian seasoning. Just in case, I try to find a salad bar or supermarket in the area ahead of time.  Non-Perishables Drinks Caffeinated Tea - I love individual serving sized  matcha powder sticks that can be used hot or cold (though they don't bl

After talking to Recruiters, Hiring Managers and going on lots of interviews - below are my synthesized job hunt tips. I struggled with feeling unworthy after not hearing back on jobs I wanted. So it's important to mentally be in as positive of a mindset as possible. Realize that interviewing is like dating and you may never know why they didn't pick you. You are worthy and you will find a job.  I tracked what I did everyday towards my search so I could look back on the week and realize I accomplished a lot even though I felt like I didn't get very far.

Consider looking at the 'Purpose' and 'Career' questions I shared  here   to brainstorm on what roles you may consider that you didn't realize you were qualified for.    Job Boards - Besides the

Here are my plane travel tips and some exercises to do when stuck in a seat for a long time.  At the Terminal - I buy the largest bottle of spring water (maybe two) and stretch at the terminal. If you don't want to be as awkward and you have the time, go find an empty terminal where you can move around more or go for a walk. Move your body while you have the chance. I am always full before a flight as I try to not eat on planes. Setting Up Your Space - Once on the plane, I take off my shoes to feel more comfortable and keep on my compression socks. Compression socks are great since you won't be moving as much and so your legs don't feel as tired afterwards. I set up my space by turning off the seat back monitor, closing the shade, putting my water in the seat back pouch and introducing myself to my neighbors. I use my puffer jacket in its compression bag as a lower back pillow and have a second jacket or blanket since I always get cold. I bring noise-cancelling headphones
