What Being On Our Past Trip Taught Us

We are currently on a trip with our amazing parents, and wanted to take some time to reflect on a few things we really thought about on this trip and share them with you all.

Before we get into those, a little more about the outfit: this leopard cardigan wrap from Sole Society is the perfect print to wear with a long sleeve tee underneath, and into spring with short sleeves underneath. Love how it looks with these suede booties and this neutral tote bag, all from Sole Society. So many great, affordable accessories you can wear for years.

Life Is Short

After Kobe’s passing, and the other tragic lives lost, it really is a reminder of how short life is, and how life can change in an instant. Life is full of unexpected moments, some good, and some bad. We always all think it won’t happen to us, but it can happen to you.

Be Present

As hard as it is to do at times, it is so important, and something that we need to be better about. Whether it is with work, being on social media, or being on vacation, it is important to really focus on everything around you and reflect on your current journey, and be grateful for what you have.

Small Things Can Make All The Difference

When we were journaling, there is a prompt for “something nice you did that day”, we realized that maybe we don’t do that many nice things, which is kind of pathetic. On this trip, we both really made an effort to do things like saying hello, smiling, holding the door open for others, and complimenting others. We also left reviews on behalf of restaurants and great waiters we had. It can make all of the difference.
