Find Your Best Suitcase for Traveling This Summer

by chirpyest July 14, 2023

Choosing the right suitcase can be tricky. Many factors go into picking out what kind you may want or need. The mode of transportation can also factor in the type of suitcase you want to have with you. If you’re only going to your destination for a few days, you may not want to bring a massive suitcase with you. Save yourself the trouble (and the money of a checked bag) and get a smaller bag. In this case, small does not necessarily mean you still can’t pack all the outfits, shoes, and necessities you want. We’ve rounded up some of the best bags for traveling based on various occasions as well as how you can make packing easier. Check them out below:

Don’t forget to sign up and join chirpyest here!

Carry-On/Small Suitcase

Small suitcases are perfect for short-termed stays. It allows you to travel lightly and hassle-free. It’s especially convenient if your primary mode of traveling is by plane. Most airlines will have the first carry-on bag be free and then charge for additional bags. The price of checking a bag in can also be quite expensive. So, not only are small suitcases convenient to travel with, but they can also save you money. Lugging around a heavy bag is never fun. Especially when you’re only staying at your destination for a short period of time. You have very little time between unpacking and packing up. Might as well make it easier on yourself by traveling light. And, with organizers and mesh travel bags, you can still pack a lot into a small suitcase.

Large Suitcase

Large suitcases are great for longer stays. It allows much more space for packing. Having a larger suitcase also doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t bring it onto a plane as a carry-on. The best part about larger suitcases is that it comes with a roller, so even if you packed it full, you don’t have to carry it and exude all that energy. It rolls. And that can save you so much energy so you can put it all into your vacation.

Hard Shell Suitcase

Hard-shell suitcases are great for protection. They are more spill-resistant and durable. If you have any makeup palettes or pressed powder products, hard shell suitcases can protect those more delicate items from damage in the case of falling over or being thrown around on a plane.

Soft Suitcase

Ted Baker carry-on | Samsonite 2-piece luggage set | Swissgear roller suitcase | Bugatti grey roller suitcase

Soft suitcases can also be super convenient for traveling. They’re more flexible in terms of packing since the fabric allows for more stretch. It’s easier to pack more items into a soft suitcase than a hard one. They are also semi-spill-resistant. Although not as much as hard-shell suitcases, soft suitcases do still offer some level of protection.

Suitcase Essentials for Packing

Packing Cubes

Packing cubes come in super handy. They help you stay organized and it helps free up more room in the luggage for other items if you so please. With these bags, you can fit more outfits and clothing options into your suitcase. They can also prevent wrinkling if you’re not the type to fold your clothes before packing them.

Sunglasses Case and Organizer

dagne-glasses-case-and-organizer-chirpyest — Dagne Dover remi glasses case

This roll-up sunglasses organizer and case are super handy and compact. You can store your sunglasses and/or prescription glasses in this organizer to ensure that they won’t be crushed by other items and broken. This 3-storage set can be hung up on a hook for convenience or placed flat on a surface. It also comes with a little pocket for lens wipers.

Laundry Wash Bags

laundry-mesh-wash-bag-for-traveling-chirpyest — Soak Wash 3 piece wash bag set

These can be tucked away in a pocket when you’re traveling to your destination as they don’t take up much space when empty. This mesh wash bag is super convenient if the place you’re staying at has a washer and dryer that’s nearby and easily accessible. This way, you won’t have to bring back home a bunch of dirty clothes. It saves you the trouble of having to do laundry after getting back from a trip. It’s also very handy for washing small pieces such as socks and underwear. You would not want to lose those on a trip. Coming back home with missing socks is not fun.

by chirpyest July 10, 2023

Let’s learn how to create an enchanting summer garden party. Hosting a backyard get-together is one of the summer’s most popular activities.

Fill the garden with florals, pastels, and any pieces with intricate details. Follow along below to see how to host an enchanting summer garden party and what to wear.

Don’t forget to sign up and join Chirpyest here!

Outdoor Setup

The essence of a garden party lies within the outdoor setup. It is the core of what will make it enchanting and whimsical. The key is having plants and trees catering to the aesthetic. On top of that outdoor accessories like lanterns and string lighting will really tie it all together creating a magical atmosphere.

Plants

A vital component of any successful summer garden party is the careful and creative landscaping of your garden. The way you design and arrange your outdoor space will greatly impact the ambiance and overall experience for your guests. Start by envisioning the theme and atmosphere you want to create. Whether it’s a whimsical fairy garden, a tropical oasis, or a classic English garden, let your imagination guide you in transforming your outdoor space into a captivating setting. Then, incorporate a variety of plants, flowers, and tress that compliment your theme! Play with different heights and textures to create visual interest and depth. Additionally, strategically placing your favorite blooming florals will add personality and charm!

Accessories

Paying attention to the accessories can elevate the overall experience and add those delightful finishing touches. Thoughtfully selected accessories will enhance the ambiance, create a welcoming atmosphere, and make your event truly memorable. Start by incorporating decorative elements that reflect the theme of your garden party. For a whimsical touch, consider hanging lanterns or a garden arch throughout the space. Incorporating playful accessories like lawn games, such as croquet or bocce ball, can also add an element of fun and entertainment. These interactive activities encourage guests to engage with one another and create lasting memories!

Tablescapes

The main event is the tablescape setup! From glassware to tabletop decor, this is where everything is tied together. Close attention to the details of your tablescape will elevate the dining experience and create a visually stunning focal point for your guests!

Dinnerware

Creating a captivating setting for a summer garden party involves more than just landscaping; it also includes the selection and arrangement of dinnerware. Just as the garden design sets the ambiance for the event, the choice of dinnerware contributes to the overall aesthetic and enhances the dining experience! Select dinnerware that compliments your garden’s color palette and overall theme. Consider incorporating patterns inspired by nature to accent the outdoor setting. When setting the table, create visual interest by layering and mixing different dinnerware elements. Experiment with different shapes, sizes, and textures to add dimension! Lastly, make sure the dinnerware material suit the mood of the evening whether it’s formal or casual

Drinkware

Fun drinkware can make or break the tablescape setup! The drinkware you choose for your summer garden party not only serves a practical purpose but also contributes to the overall aesthetic! By paying attention to colors, patterns, materials, and accessories, you can create a visually captivating and delightful drinkware display that enhances the atmosphere of your garden gathering. When selecting the perfect glasses, make sure they match the dinnerware and vibe of the occasion. To maintain a harmonious look, keeping it simple is definitely the way to go. Since the garden itself should be the main attraction, go for drinkware that doesn’t overpower the natural beauty of the surroundings. Also, consider selecting glassware that aligns with the overall theme of your garden party. Finally, matching the drinkware with the dinnerware can create a cohesive and coordinated look!

by chirpyest July 7, 2023

Packing can appear to be the most daunting task when getting ready to leave for vacation. Clothes and toiletries become carelessly thrown into suitcases- leaving them cluttered and disorganized. Not to mention- when you arrive at your destination, it becomes extremely difficult to find the items you packed because of the lack of organization.

Accessories That Make An Awesome Backyard Party

by chirpyest July 4, 2023

Are you thinking about throwing a party in your backyard over the summer? Maybe even for the 4th of July? Backyard parties are super easy to set up and can make for a great time and create new wonderful memories. A backyard party is a great way to throw any type of event during the summer. We only get this opportunity every so often. Especially if you live in an area that gets a lot of snow. Shop these essential backyard party items to ensure that everyone at your event has a blast!

Don’t forget to sign up and join Chirpyest here!

GRILLS

The one absolute necessity for any backyard party is barbeque! And a good barbeque requires a good grill to cook it on. There are so many different types of grills for every person and their preferences. If you’re hosting a larger crowd of people, you might want to opt-in for a larger grill and get more food cooked simultaneously. If you’re hosting a smaller gathering, you might not need an enormous grill. But you can still get one. A good bbq on a hot sunny day is a great way to ensure that your guests are happy, and it’s basically a 4th of July essential at this point.

Essentials

Sun Umbrella

A sun umbrella is a great way to escape the sun. Backyards may not always get a lot of shade so this is essential for helping cool down. It can also be a great way to prevent being sunburned. A good backyard party should have some space for guests to cool down. We wouldn’t want to overheat.

Misting Fan

A misting fan can often be overlooked when throwing a backyard party but actually, it can be quite useful. On a really hot day, a misting fan can do wonders. Your guests will be so glad that they have an efficient way of cooling down.

Lawn Chair

A lawn chair is really useful for a backyard party when everyone’s sitting around a fire pit or you just need somewhere to sit down comfortably. It’s also great for creating extra seating if the main table ever got too crowded.

Frozen Drink Machine

This may seem extra but it will for sure be one of the most memorable parts of the party. You can make kid-friendly slushies or even frozen margaritas! If it’s for a 4th of July party, you could even make the frozen drinks red, white, and blue flavors. It’s not every day that a backyard party has its own frozen drink machine, your guests will have a blast with it.

Sparklers

A 4th of July party is not complete without some sparklers. If you live in an area that isn’t super firework friendly, these are a great alternative that won’t cause a big ruckus. It can also be great for any other backyard party occasion. Sparklers also make for great pictures.

Bug Repellent

Summer is when the bugs, specifically mosquitos, come out to play. Having bug repellents set up by the corners of your backyard can help ward away those pesky mosquitoes and ensure that you’re not leaving the party itching. Enjoy spending time with your friends and family and eating bbq without fear of bugs.

Drink Cooler

A drink cooler is essential to throwing a great backyard party. Pair the delicious bbq with a cold beverage and it becomes an amazing meal. A cold drink is the perfect way to have fun at an outdoor event. No backyard party is complete without one.

Picnic Table

A picnic table is great if you have a super spacious backyard. It can seat up to 10 people and it is really convenient for eating. No more trying to find a random place to sit down to eat. You now have a place to sit comfortably while chatting with all your friends and families. The picnic table can also be a great place to put big containers of food that other guests may have brought in. It’s very multi-purposeful.

Accessories

A party is no fun without some additional accessories to help spice it up. Whether that be decorations or some optional (but fun) activities, these are some things that can help put your backyard party together and make it more enjoyable.

Corn Hole

An outdoor game like corn hole is great to have at a backyard party. It can help keep your guests entertained and get people to bond with one another. Outdoor yard games are great to play with friends and family and it’s super easy to learn.

Balloons

Balloons make for great decorations. If you’re planning on having a 4th of July backyard party, don’t stray away from getting some red, white, and blue balloons to really be on theme. It is a super convenient way to add some spice to the party and make it look more lively and fun.

String Lights

If your backyard party is taking place during the evening or nighttime, string lights are a great addition to the event. It helps give the area a subtle brightening without blinding anyone’s eyes. There are also so many different ways to put up string lights in the backyard to give the place an ethereal effect.

Outdoor Seat Cushions

Outdoor seating can sometimes be a little uncomfortable. The hard surfaces aren’t exactly the most bottom-friendly. Seat cushions are an easy fix to that problem. It provides just enough cushion and support for you to sit comfortably outside. It’s also good for sitting on the grass. If you don’t have a blanket or towel to put down and you don’t want to sit directly on the grass, you can get a seat cushion. They are multi-purposeful and super easy to clean afterward.
