Hi

I used to pack everything in my carry-on so that I wouldn't have to wait for my luggage at the other end. But with all the liquid restrictions, it's quite difficult to do now... There is good news though: solid shampoos and solid perfumes!

I'll explain what solid shampoos and solid perfumes are and I'll also give you some homemade lotion and cream recipes that you can make at home and transfer into some small containers that you can carry with you on the plane. I'll also give you a solid perfume recipe that you can make and put into a small container and carry with you.

Pilates are a wonderful and relatively easy way to relax at home. The exercises themselves are easy, but doing them properly will involve some work. Pilates strengthen your powerhouse or your core, so they are a great way to improve your posture and slim down. Read more about pilates right here:
