My trip to the Bahamas last month was an adventure to say the least. It was originally scheduled for last November {thanks to an awesome deal on JetBlue}, but Hurricane Matthew came along and slammed the Bahamas hard. Once the island recovered I was happy to finally make my trip and stay at the Riu Palace Paradise Island. But just as I was prepping for my getaway, the forecast predicted windy weather and cooler than average temps.
However, I still managed to have an awesome trip. Whether it's wind, rain or choppy waters, here's how to have a good trip, even with bad weather.

This post is sponsored by Dove and Simply Stylist. All opinions are my own {but you know that by now!}. What's In My Bag - On the Go Travel Must Haves Sigh, I was supposed to be on a beach in the Bahamas, but Hurricane Matthew postponed that trip. However, being the anal retentive person I am, my bag was already packed a week ago. You know I'm the queen of the I-don't-do-checked-bags! And since I only do carry-on, that means every item in my bag has to count, especially when it comes to my beauty routine.

How I Broke a Travel “Rule” and Saved Over $400 on a Flight I'm going to the Bahamas!!! Ok, sorry for the exclamation points. But I'm super excited. It's a belated birthday trip, blogiversary celebration and girlfriends getaway all in one.

Initially I delayed booking the flight because I refused to pay $500 for one way. Yikes! But being flexible by one day, I was able to save almost $500. And all because I broke a travel “rule.”

And that's why I teamed up with ESSENCE Live {Essence magazine's weekly online show} to demonstrate exactly how to master the carry-on life.
