Hey B&B friends! I don’t know about you, but when it comes to my daily personal care routine, I rarely change my essential go-to beauty essentials like soap, toothpaste or deodorant.

This past weekend, I took a business trip to Orlando, FL and decided to add some vacation vibes to the visit. Whenever I travel, I try to limit the amount of makeup products that I pack by bringing a single bottle of foundation, a few tubes of my favorite lipstick and other travel-sized items, when possible.
