Here are a few of my favorite things
Ok, I know I’m not Oprah (yet) but based on the way I live, I have had to be very choosey about the items I carry. There is no room in my carry-on lifestyle to have frivolous items or ones that don’t Wow! me. So I’ve created my own version of a favorites list which is likely far different from Oprah’s so no need to feel you have to choose between us!
Because I travel so light and pack so intentionally, I have been asked frequently how I decide on what I buy. In this space I will feature an item or two that has me carving out space to bring with me on my travels.
* These items will have links in case you feel the Wow! too and in full disclosure, some links may provide me a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Penzy's spicesThere is one place that I go every time I'm in the Boston area to stock up for my travels and it's Penzy's Spices. This store is like a candy land for me!
A couple of things I love about them is the way they package the spices (I buy bags so they travel easy) and the variety. You don't just go there for cinnamon, you can get Vietnamese cinnamon or Indonesian cinnamon or Chinese cinnamon. Don't know the difference? Their labels tell you all you need to know! It's a chef or baker's paradise in there. I'm a big fan of this place and they don't pay me anything to send you there. I just love them and want them to remain in business because they are a small business and this is one place I can travel the world in just one store. They also have a catalog (with recipes) and online ordering, so if you don't have a store nearby or have someone you want to gift spices to, it's easy (I know, I do it all the time)! Whether you are a novice or chef, I know you will love this place and it might just spark some creativity in the kitchen! |
