Good morning everyone! I hope you had a beautiful weekend. I’m so excited that you’re here for another, Coffee Talk with Desi. I appreciate the questions you sent in and I hope that I was able to answer them for you. This is always a fun post for me and I love hearing hearing from you. Let’s get started!
Any recommendations for bags to use while traveling? Walking all day with certain bags kills my shoulders!
This is such a great question, because I have been back and forth over her trying ot figure out what bag to take with me. I feel the same way about some bags. I love cross body bags, however for long walking days, they tend to make my back hurt as well. However, I do plan on bringing one with me to Italy. I’m just not sure which one to bring yet. Preferably one that has a zipper and can fit my camera. Below are some bags that I’m thinking about taking with me to this trip. Honestly, I really don’t want to spend a lot of money on a bag, so the bags that are at the top of my list right now are linked below. I will be making a decision later today, so that I can save 40% off whichever bag (or two) I order. They’re all from Old Navy and today they have a 40% off everything sale!
Are you planning on wearing the Tretorns for walking days? I am always looking for cute comfy shoes for a full day of walking.
Yes, I’m planning on wearing the Tretorn sneakers on walking days. I’ve been wanting to order them forever and after I read the great reviews I ordered them right away. Some of the reviewers actually mentioned how comfortable they were while walking on the cobblestone streets in Italy. Their insole has a cushion that makes them so comfortale. I’m also bringing these Superga sneakers with me for walking days.
I love your blog Desiree. It is always uplifting and you find such wonderful things! What sort of beauty products do you like? Just had a big birthday and need to rethink my skincare!
Thank you sweetie for such a kind message. I really appreciate it and I’m so happy that you are here. I mentioned in an earlier Coffee Talk with Desi that I use Colleen Rothschild beauty products to keep my skin exfoliated and moisturized. I use her Sheer Renewal Cream both day and night, the Dual Enzyme Polish 1-2 times a week, and the Clarifying Detox Mask 1-2 times per week. I’m going to being sharing a full beauty haul soon, so thay tuned to find out what’s in my beauty bag.
I’d love to see some posts with work wear. While my office is pretty casual, sometimes I like to dress up a bit.
Thank you for the suggestion! I’m definitely going to work on some posts for work wear in the future. I do want to share this adorable top that I ordered last week that’s so cute and perfect for the office. I love the ruffles and it comes in 3 colors. I also love this top from J.Crew. I’m actually packing it in white for Italy, however you can also shop it in 2 more colors.
If you try that humidity shield, let us know how it works. My hair does not like humidity at all!
Yay! I tried the Living Proof Humidity Shield for the first time today for my photoshoot and I loved it! It does not make your hair feel sticky or stiff. I was able to style it after my walk and shower and it looked great. I could never really do that before with the other hair sprays. This hairspray is available in two sizes and I ended up ordering the smaller size for my trip.
The Soludos sandals are so cute. I’m 5’2” so adding height is always a good thing. Have you tried them? Are they comfortable?
I agree! The Soludos sandals are so cute! I wore them for the first time this weekend and they do feel comfortable. I’m not sure yet about long walks in them, but they’re definitely super cute to wear this spring. I’ll have to report on how they feel after wearing them for a full day. They fit true to size.
Do you use any of the Kopari lotions?
The only thing I use right now from the Kopari beauty line is their lip balm. I’m trying to order the deodorant, but it’s sold out right now. It seems that everyone is looking for a healthier choice in deoderant these days.
Thank you everyone for visiting me today! Keep sending in your questions for next week’s- Coffee talk with Desi! Don’t forgot to leave a comment to be entered in this month’s Showers of Blessings Giveaway. Have a beautiful day! XO, Desiree
Thank you for answering my bag question! Great ideas!
Thank you for the skincare tips. Can’t wait to try Colleen Rothschild beauty products! I keep hearing such good things about them!
Love your coffee talk posts. Walking sneakers,are always a challenge for me. I just haven’t found an all day comfortable pair. I may have to try your suggestions. Thanks Desiree!
Thanks for letting us know how the humidity spray worked out. I’ll definitely have to pick some up to try this summer when the humidity rises!
Spring has sprung! And your helpful Coffee Talks put a new “spring” in my step! Thanks for your uplifting messages. 💕
