Exploring Mendocino with Carmex Lip Balm

I was compensated by Carmex® for this post, all opinions are my own.

We moved out to California about 2.5 years ago and since we’ve visited Tahoe, we spent a weekend in Yosemite, we drove down to LA and even as far as San Diego. We’ve visited Monterey a few times and wine country more than I can count – but Mendocino was still an uncharted portion of California that we haven’t ventured to. So, when the chance arose for a weekend trip, I packed my bag and a couple tubes of Carmex was one of the first things I tossed in. 

 

Finally got to check Mendocino off my bucket list! We had long days exploring so I was thankful for my trusty @mycarmex that I packed along (a girl has to have to beauty weapons on hand!) Read more via the link in my bio! #ad #mycarmex #beautysecrets ??| music Good For You by THBD

If you follow me on Instagram Stories you know that I have a lipstick obsession and always have at least 4-5 in my purse. But, I also always carry my trusty chapstick, especially on trips. I have naturally dry skin and lips, so I need Carmex nearby – plus, I find that it can double as a way to moisturize hands in a pinch, too! (This trick doesn’t always work for everyone, but I find it works well on the go for me!) I know I can’t be the only woman who always feels more confident and secure with her beauty tools in reach.

We had a lovely time in Mendocino – we rode a cute little train and totally pretended like we were on the Murder on the Orient Express (one of my favorite murder mysteries that’s getting a fresh new movie soon!) Next adventure for me in a short trip down to LA for a gal’s birthday party! Can you guess what I’ll be tucking into my purse?
