Nickis's Newsletter #3
Hey Everyone!
I hope your week is going great! I have been super busy gearing up for a crazy summer of travels, but I am super excited to share all the amazing places I am visiting.
First things first – travel deals! As you know, I only like to share what I think is an absolute bargain. Here is what I found this week:
Bora Bora– this is a great deal at Four Seasons Bora! Dates in December and then dates January – March. 5 nights in an overwater bungalow, flights from Los Angeles, inter-island airfare, boat transfer, daily breakfast, and taxes are included. The last time I shared this on Tiktok, you guys sold it out for this spring (2021). I would not pass this deal by if you are in the market to go to Bora Bora. I went this past December and the weather was pretty great most of the two weeks I was around.
9 Night Guided Tour through Turkey – I cannot tell you how much I LOVE Turkey and I did a tour of Turkey on my first visit similar to this and it was amazing. The deal includes airfare from selected cities, all hotels, breakfasts, 5 dinners, activities and tours on the itinerary, and the guide and air conditioned bus. You will be seeing some of my hands down favorite places: Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus, and Pamukkale AND more. Arguably one of the best trips I have ever done and went solo.
Hawaii: Oaho and Kona – this is a 4 night trip inclusive of resorts AND air.
Upcoming Travels:
I am leaving for the Florida Keys on Friday morning for a week. I will be traveling all throughout so if you have any questions/requests – message me on Instagram.
I did just get back from Williamsburg, VA and it was AMAZING! I forgot how much I loved the city and really want to go back around Christmas time. I will be sharing those videos from my partnership on Tiktok only in the coming weeks.
Social Media:
I know some of you only follow me on my blog and/or a social media – but I do have several channels you can find me on (if you want):

Products I am LOVING!
So many of you guys got the refillable perfume bottles and I hope you love them as much as I do. They will forever be my favorite travel hack for packing.
Waterproof bags – I love, love, LOVE these bags. Perfect for wet clothes, swimsuits or even toiletries to make sure everything in your luggage stays dry.
Waterproof pouch – this is *technically* a makeup bag and you can use it for that but I am using it for common medicines and covid tests. For some reason this year I have been sick a few times and I usually travel with a couple things, but on long-haul trips, especially out of the country or in remote destinations, trying to find very specific medication is challenging. So I am taking no chances and bringing everything I know and love that works for me. I have been sick in countries all over the world and could not find any medication to cure it and I was miserable – I refuse to do that again. So I just am building this waterproof bag into a medication bag and with covid tests that I can use to come back to the USA with.
Door Stopper – as someone who travels solo and even when I don’t, I LOVE this. You just put it under your room door when you go in and if anyone tries to open the door, the alarm on the stopper goes off. I have recommended this a lot – but you should do everything in your power to protect yourself when you travel, especially solo. I am taking it with me to Florida!
Summer travel plans are here and it is very warm in many destinations around the world right now. Please do not forget to use reef safe sunscreen in the ocean. I have been using this brand for years and never leave home without it. Bonus – it smells nice. When I am just in the pool or outside, I use this cheap 100 SPF – and you can laugh, but I am Irish and Scottish. I burn so fast and it is painful.
Amazon Store Front – you can find all my favorite items here.
