EAT, PRAY, LOVE THE MOVIE

The day is here!!! After reading Eat, Pray, Love what seems like forever ago...I am so psyched about going to see the movie this weekend. When I heard it was being made into a movie I was pretty excited. The general concept of this book is self-discovery and looking inward, not in a self-indulgent way but in a desire to find out what REALLY makes you happy. (And who doesn't need to be reminded of this once in awhile?). The main character, Elizabeth Gilbert, travels to Italy, India, and Bali (Indonesia) for one year, and learns about herself along the way. Having traveled to two out of the three countries- Italy...and India...(Bali Indonesia is still on my jet set list and I promise I will make it there one day)...I know that even if I am utterly disappointed in the movie (and Julia Roberts' portrayal of Liz), I will still love looking at the scenery of these three incredibly amazing countries and being reminded of why I love to travel!!!Hope you all have a great weekend! I'll let you know what I thought about the movie on Monday.

JET SET SUPPLIES

Whenever I jet set, there are some mandatory items that I have to bring along to make me a happy traveler...click here to see what they are. In addition, to these things, there are six other must haves that you will always find in my carry-on bag. They include...Aquaphor- I use this stuff on my hands, cuticles and feet, which all seem to get dry whenever I fly...Colgate Wisps- Bathrooms on airplanes tend to be dirty, but I still feel the need to brush my teeth before I land just to feel refreshed, and wisps are the answer! They are disposable mini-toothbrushes that come with toothpaste on them, and no water or rinsing is required to use them....Carmex- For dry, chapped lips, this stuff is my absolute favorite, plus I just love the way it smells and the tingly feeling it gives you when you put it on...Tiger Balm-It's motto is "Works Wherever It Hurts," and it does! This stuff is the best when you have a sore neck or achy feet from a long flight. Just rub on a little bit, enjoy the smell and the warm relief you get. (It doesn't burn like Bengay does.)Baby Wipes- You can use them pretty much all over your body to make you feel fresh and smell clean too! And the last thing is Purell Anti-Bacterial Hand Sanitizer- with all of the germs on a plane and in an airport, need I say more?What do you jet setters bring along when you travel? Please share with all of us! Happy Jetting!!!
