May 5, 2019 janet gunn

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there! Moms of kids, moms of pets, god-mother’s, mother-in-laws, stepmother’s and Mother Earth!

Entering motherhood later in life was a blessing for me, I know for a fact the timing was meant to be. Finding love and happiness and entering motherhood saved my soul! Our boy Luca, which means bringer of light was just that, a bright light and a heart opening journey. I have so many wonderful memories from the day he was born, I feel so blessed every single day and also grateful to still have my mom. It’s a wonderful gift being a mother, because you have the chance to revisit all these wonderful experiences and see the world through the eyes of a child… I guess you could say, I now see things in a whole new light.

Here’s a few gift ideas for the mom’s in your life and may your day be filled with love & light.

Is your mom a homebody? Having a beautiful fragrance lingering in your home can be a mood changer, and it’s a great way to calm your mind and relax.

SKYROAM -STAY CONNECTED & SHARE YOUR STORY

April 23, 2019 janet gunn

After returning from two weeks of traveling across Asia I will happily confirm…once again why you’ll want to order Skyroam for your next journey. We depend on our phones and when you’re traveling abroad there are times when you’ll want to be connected and share your trip with your friends, family and log in a few work hours.

What is Skyroam - It’s the best way to stay safely connected when you’re on the go!

We hit the ground running in Japan, Tokyo, Kyoto, Beijing, China, Seoul Korea and last stop Hong Kong. Both my husband and I love our work, whistle while we work…and work while we travel. It actually makes what we do more enjoyable and we no longer have to wait to return to the hotel, spend time answering emails, or bank online, and FYI it’s a safe and secure network that supports 5 devices.

In Japan, Kyoto and China you won’t find too many people who speak English. You don’t realize what a saver it is until your cab drivers speak zero english. Just open Google Translate and communicate in any language thanks to Skyroam

I was able to share my walk through the Fushimi Inari - Taisha shrine along with experiencing the subways and other attractions with my followers on Instagram live. I also had people messaging me who were watching live and gave me tips on restaurants and places not to miss. FYI - For anyone who is building an audience on Instagram, I increased my followers and engagement along with gaining a whole new audience.

Visiting the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest was a must for me and I highly suggest a visit to this magical bamboo haven if you’re in Kyoto. I loved being able to share this stroll live. Yes I cherish silence and yes, sharing the experience with my followers who’ve never been here or heard of this forest was exciting.

Riding the bullet train from Beijing to Hong Kong for 9 hours while working and relaxing. Your Skyroam also comes with this travel case, adapters and charger inside.

Work from anywhere anytime. We navigated successfully to every place on our list using Google Maps thanks to Skyroam So you don't have to worry about how much data you use, Skyroam offers day passes with unlimited data.

HEYS LUGGAGE - TRAVEL WITH EASE

April 16, 2019 janet gunn

Traveling to Japan, Tokyo, Kyoto, Beijing, Korea, and Hong Kong with Heys.

We just returned from a two week trip in Asia and Heys luggage once again did not disappoint. We visited Japan, Tokyo, Kyoto, Beijing, Korea, and the last stop... Hong Kong. That also included a few train rides. Not only did it return back to the U.S. in great shape, it's super lightweight and expandable just in case you need to pack a few extra items from a day of shopping.

Last year I took a little road trip with another stylish Heys suitcase from their marble collection. This year I went for the Para-Lite 30". It locks, it spins, and rolls like a charm.

Luggage doesn't always have to be expensive to hold up.
Thanks Heys! Rollin' with you has been a breeze!

Janet Gunn + The Grateful Gardenia + Heys

No one wants to be charged extra for baggage weight. Heys is lightweight at just 11 lbs. and is 30" x 19.3" x 13".

We’re always in more than one place, so having these bags to stay organized is a must! Depending on the weather and activities, we don’t have to dig through our luggage searching for an outfit - plus you’re saving space and time.

The Ecotex 5pc Packing Cube Set is made from 18 recycled water bottles. By utilizing discarded materials to create new products, Heys offers an eco-friendly choice for a clean and sustainable future… Love that!

Janet Gunn + The Grateful Gardenia + Heys + Melissa Meyers + Caravan Outpost

Great gift idea for Mother’s Day too. You can also see my friend and blogging partner Melissa Meyers enjoying Heys selection from our road trip last year. Love the striped interior of the Bianco Marble collection!
