If we give ourselves the permission to relax, life unfolds in beautiful ways. Hence, I always trust my intuition and then pursue amazing things that come up.

How to dress up for an international trip:
Looking glamorous can be a full-time job!
Because I was never glamorous when I was young, I have decided to be glamorous every single day now.
So, my luggage has a lot of items that makes me feel fabulous: dresses, T-shirts, jeans, jackets, stockings, shoes, makeup and skin-care products.
By the way, I not only dress up my body, but also dress up my mind. That’s why I always bring a lot of books with me while traveling. Don’t get me wrong. I wouldn’t carry 200 books in my luggage. Instead, I have Kindle on my smart phone, so I can easily read eBooks on my phone whenever I have some spare time, e.g., whenever I sit in a coffee shop or a restaurant, I always read a chapter of an eBook on my smartphone. This keeps me energized, inspired and enlightened.
For example, today I read a chapter of Ginie Sayles’ book How to write a book in three weeks or less while having a cup of peppermint tea in a café during my international trip.

Why I want to feel good:
I believe that looking amazing makes me feel good, thereby improving my mood and mindset quickly.
There is a reason why makeover shows on TV are popular – the power of looking fabulous is really impressive: It’s motivating and gives people hope. The average Jane knows that the plain Jane can be turned into a powerful goddess if she knows how!
I still remember when I was working as a fashion stylist, many clients were amazed by what they saw in the mirror – they walked into the room with low confidence, but after the transformation, their confidence levels were increased immediately. When they walked out of the room, they were literally different externally and internally because how they looked outside influenced how they felt inside. That’s why a person’s fashion can determine their confidence dramatically.
Every time when I have an international trip, I would always pay attention to different fashion brands in the destination because every country has their own definition of trendy fashion. For example, when I went to London, I noticed that English brands are the most sought-after fashion brands there, e.g., Vivienne Westwood, Ted Baker,Alexander McQueen, and so forth. Everything has the traditional English flair and I really like the delicate details of the English style! But in Sydney, Australian brands are the best: Country Road, Dion Lee, Lorna Jane, and so on. The Australian style is more relaxed and also more comfortable. So far, my favorite jumpers are all from Country Road. I know Country Road opened a few stores in the United States but have been closed due to weak sales. Indeed, the US market is always hard to penetrate. Actually, Country Road has the world’s best jumpers that are made of traceable Australian cotton.
“If every international trip is absolutely amazing, your journey will be unforgettable and can be cherished forever!”
