I really, really, really need a vacation! Not from work, not from school, but from my life. That is not good is it? LOL I know that things are on the upswing, we've just had so much stress in this house in the last six months, really even longer. I just want to run away for awhile. Not too far or for too long, but I do. Something about the summer too, it makes my usual wanderlust vicious! I have a hard time keeping my ass at home. I have to really work at it. I would just love to get in the car and go. It doesn't even matter where to at this point. I just need a break. Well, for those of you who can get away here are a few tips I found around the web. For yourself and your dog, because I would of course take my Katy.
9 Road Trip Beauty Essentials:
Wet Wipes- oh boy, do kids get grimy! How that happens while they are buckled in on the road is a mystery to me!
Lip Balm- constantly apply to prevent dry lips from heat or air conditioning.

Aromatherapy water- used to spray your face for hydration, indulge your senses for relaxation or alertness (depending on scent of spray). If you use Evian Spray then it also entertains the kids when you unexpectedly spray them!
Drinking Water- hydrate from the inside. Don’t try to skip drinking water to avoid potty breaks. Your skin needs it and stopping is good for your body to stretch and move!
Hand Cream- again with the hydration! to treat them to a cream packed full of vitamins and Your hubby will love it when you offer to massage his free hand while he drives!
Eye Cream- use one with reflective properties so you look alert and fresh even when you are not. You never know who you might meet at some random Dairy Queen in the middle of nowhere!
Hand Sanitizer- gross restrooms…enough said
Mints- keep your breath fresh so you can smooch with your hubby now and then (and cancel out that taco breath from too many drive-thrus)
Reading Material- It’s a long road ahead!
