While living in New York City is fun, I love a good weekend getaway during the spring and summer months. And now that the weather is finally getting warmer, I’m taking my trip-planning more seriously. This preparation includes having enough travel-ready outfits that won’t wrinkle in my suitcase and that I can repeat-wear to pack lightly.

As someone who’s 5’1” and curvy, I’m very intentional about my hunt for new clothing. I need to make sure that my picks offer a flattering fit and are comfortable, too. That’s why I was thrilled to find tons of petite-friendly travel styles at Nordstrom, which also happen to be wrinkle-free and ideal for my getaways. Shop my picks from Vuori, Spanx, Madewell, and more below, with savings up to 60 percent.

Madewell The Petite Darted Barrel-Leg Jeans

I’ve been coveting barrel jeans for awhile, so I’m grabbing this light wash pair from Madewell. They’re made with 100 percent cotton, have five pockets, and are machine washable. I love the jeans’ curved fit for my body type without being overly baggy thanks to its petite-friendly sizing.

Travel Helps Reduce Signs of Aging and Keeps You Healthy, New Study Says

There’s nothing quite like the thrill of exploring new places. Whether you choose to stay close to home and walk the streets of a new-to-you town or stamp your passport on the way to some far-flung location, travel is on nearly everyone’s personal bucket list. And now, there’s proof that it does more than just fill your camera roll with memories. According to a new research paper from researchers at Edith Cowan University, there’s scientifically backed evidence that positive travel could experiences could be your best defense against signs of aging, both physically and mentally. How Does Traveling Reduce Signs of Aging? It probably comes as no surprise that travel can act as a serious mood booster—after all, many of us have felt the euphoria that comes from exploring a new place, finding the perfect roadside lobster roll, or cozying up in a quaint inn. However, according to the researchers at ECU, stepping out of your routine and experiencing new cultures can also lead to noticeable improvements in mental clarity and emotional health. Here are some of the major benefits. Provides Mental Stimulation When you travel, you’re not just collecting souvenirs; you’re also engaging your brain in fresh experiences, in turn giving it mental stimulation that can help enhance cognitive function and even fend off the cognitive decline that often comes with aging. Encourages Physical Activity That’s not the only perk of hitting the road (or skies), though. Physically, travel can encourage you to be more active even outside of your regular workout routine, whether it’s indulging in a mid-day hike, wandering through a vibrant market, or taking a leisurely stroll along the beach. Swapping your desk time for a more active vacation lifestyle helps to keep your body moving, which is crucial for maintaining strength and mobility as you grow older. Gives You Energy The excitement of a new adventure (and a new backdrop) can give your energy levels a natural boost, making you feel more youthful and vibrant. Reduces Stress Beyond the physical benefits travel can provide, the researchers at ECU also found a significant impact on stress reduction and adaptability. Getting away from the grind of everyday life (think work responsibilities, house care, and after-school activities) allows you to relax, recharge, and break free from the pressure that comes with, well, adulthood. Improves Resilience By exposing you to novel environments or situations, travel can also stimulate what researchers call your stress response, essentially training your body to be more adaptive and resilient against stressful situations and the subsequent signs of aging. All that said, a life of travel isn’t feasible for many of us—and luckily, you can still achieve some of the touted benefits without blowing through your vacation days. Instead of booking a month-long excursion across the globe, start small by planning a weekend getaway or a day trip to a nearby town. Even a weekend spent embracing the joy of discovering new environments, foods, and people can give you a taste of that travel magic.

8 Late-Summer Flowers That Keep Pollinators Coming Back, Even into Fall

One of the joys of gardening is seeing native bees, butterflies, and even hummingbirds feeding on the nectar of the flowers you've planted. But with many species blooming in spring or early summer, there's often a gap in food supply for these beneficial pollinators during late summer and early fall—a crucial time of year. You can help close that gap for the pollinators in your area—and extend the season for colorful blooms—by planting native plants that flower in late summer. Here are eight late-summer blooming flowers to consider for your garden. Anise Hyssop Anise hyssop, a member of the mint family, is known for tall, abundant spires of tiny purple flowers. It's native to the northeast US but thrives in regions with a similar climate as well. Pollinating insects like solitary native bee species are attracted to its nectar. Plant anise hyssop in an area with moist, well-drained soil that gets at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Joe Pye Weed Another North American native that pollinating insects love is Joe Pye weed. This perennial blooms in late summer with heavy clusters of dark pink to purple flowers. The blooms attract beneficial bugs thanks to their scent, which is reminiscent of vanilla. Give Joe Pye weed full sun and moist, well-drained soil. While many native plants don't require regular fertilizer, Joe Pye weed needs a little nutritional boost to bloom if planted in poor soil. Cardinal Flower This native plant gets its name from its spikes of bright red flowers, which bloom from midsummer until early fall—when pollinators are most in need of nectar sources. It requires full to part sun and moist soils that are neutral to acidic in pH to thrive. The plant will self-seed aggressively, so consider that when choosing your planting site. Note that cardinal flower is toxic to both people and pets.1 Helenium Also called sneezeweed, helenium blooms in summer and fall with cheerful flowers that may be shades of yellow, orange, and red. Put this plant in a spot that has moist, well-drained soil and gets at least six to eight hours of full sun each day. Deadheading can help plants bloom continuously, which benefits the bees and butterflies that seek their nectar. Divide and replant helenium after three years to keep it looking healthy. Garden Phlox Low-maintenance garden phlox is available in a wide range of colors, including shades of purple, pink, and white. Its blooms attract pollinators including bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. This North American native plant grows best with full sun, well-drained soil, and regular watering, especially in times of drought. Goldenrod Goldenrod is a hardy North American native plant that provides nectar to pollinating insects in late summer and fall when they need it most. It's also ideal for planting in sites with poor soil. Give it full sun and a spot with good drainage to attract pollinators like bees and monarch butterflies to your garden. Avoid overfertilizing to keep plants from becoming leggy. Blazing Star Blazing star, also known as liatris, attracts bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies. Its spikes of dense, long-lasting blooms in shades of purple or white appear in summer and last through fall, helping to fill the late-season nectar gap for pollinators. Give it full sun and well-drained soil for best results. When watering, avoid getting the foliage wet to help prevent fungal issues. New England Aster Along with goldenrod, New England aster and other late-blooming aster species provide much-needed breeding habitat, food sources, and overwintering sites for beneficial pollinating insects, including native bees, wasps, flies, moths, beetles, and butterflies.2 Their purple, pink, or white flowers look great alongside goldenrod in your garden, too. These fast-growing plants can even bloom in their first year of planting. Give New England aster full sun and moist, well-drained soil to help it thrive.

IT’S TIME TO ORGANIZE – Small Entry Organization Hacks For Those Of Us Who Are “Mudroom-Less”

My favorite mom quote goes as follows – “Without systems there is chaos. Without systems there is chaos“. One of you deserves credit for it, left sweetly in the comment section two years ago, and I chant it ALL THE TIME. This applies to every single part of our lives, and as someone who unfortunately isn’t innately gifted in the organization realm, and yet abhors visual mess, I HAVE to create systems, or else the house is so chaotic and messy and it actually affects my mental health (thus the choice to live more minimally with less stuff). Labels are my boss. Baskets make me feel safe. So when we were brainstorming about how to talk about organization in the New Year, I ranted about all my pain points at the mountain house – the “no mudroom entry,” the exploding vanity, the lack of linen closet, the hall utility closet that housed both the vacuum and the board games. All solvable, WITH A SYSTEM that includes starting with the right product. And even though we knew we were moving to Portland it still seemed like a good time to come up with some better solutions – both for guests that stay, my family when we return in winter/summer, and of course for the blog. So we partnered with Target to highlight their new and always loved organizational products to ease our chaos and make our homes and brains calmer after the holidays. Systems, it’s all about systems :) The “No Mudroom” Entry We packed in a lot of solutions up here, for ideas for all your pain points. Not everyone can enter and exit through a designated mudroom, especially apartment dwellers, and us. But walking into chaos, stepping over shoes and the visual pile of coats drives me NUTS. Now the elements that you MUST have here are simple – A Drop Zone (could be the bench or the tray on the shoe rack) – This is for mail, keys (if you don’t have hooks), and bags. Get yourself a tray, bowl, or basket (and a hook if you want to never have to look for your keys again). Shoe Storage – This could be a shoe shelf like this (which is nice because it can be wheeled away if you have guests over), a trunk, or a basket. While I prefer something more enclosed, getting my kids to “drop” is a challenge enough so ‘arranging’ is a monumental feat. Plus a shelf keeps them from getting scuffed up and you have less searching to the bottom of the basket time. Someday, crossing fingers, we’ll graduate to this. Don’t have a coat closet? ME NEITHER! So you need either hooks on your wall, a coat rack, or a freestanding piece of furniture. The first two are better for small spaces (plus wet coats can’t dry off in an armoire). 3. A Place to Hang Coats/Scarves, and Hats – Could be standing or to save space use a wall-mounted hook system like this. Use the anchors provided (I’ve skimped on those before), try to do a weekly depopulation based on the weather, and put away coats in hopefully a coat closet nearby, leaving just what you need here. 4. Designated Baskets for Daily Needs – Under the bench: 1. “House shoes/slippers” (easy to change into when you come home, 2. “Dog accessories” (leashes, bags, treats), and 3. “Hats and gloves”. I love these baskets with the wood on top, but opting for something more closed will make it look cleaner (just make sure you know what is in them so you don’t have to do the “search and bury”). Shout out to that bench – please note the good joinery under the seat!! So good. The “No Entry” Entry For those of us with even less space or perhaps at the back, side, or kitchen door we have a one-piece unit for all of those same needs – it’s pretty genius. At the top you have hooks for coats/hats and scarves, then a bench to sit on for shoes and a surface for a drop zone, with shoe storage underneath. ONE AND DONE. It’s a small space solution that packs a ton of function into one piece. All you need is a 4′ blank wall near your door and you can live a better life in a small space. Pretty sure someone should write a book with that title. So no, you don’t need “an entry” to have an entry. You just need a good, solid system and Target has truly made it even easier.

You Should Never Grow Mint in Your Garden, Gardeners Say—Here’s Why

Herb gardens are a staple for many gardeners. Not only are herbs fairly easy to grow, but you also get the added benefit of being able to harvest them on a regular basis for your cooking—and say goodbye to wasted store-bought herbs that go off in your fridge. But if you're considering adding mint to your garden—or are already growing it—you may want to think twice. We talked to expert gardeners to find out why you should never grow mint in the garden, and what to grow instead. Meet the Expert Anna Hackman is a farmer and managing member at The Naked Botanical. Edwin Dysinger is the co-founder of Seedtime, a garden planner app. Why You Shouldn't Grow Mint in the Garden Gardeners say you shouldn't grow mint in your garden because it can spread rapidly. "The main reason to not grow mint is that it tends to be very invasive and difficult to get rid of once it has become established," says Edwin Dysinger, co-founder of Seedtime. Anna Hackman, farmer and managing member at The Naked Botanical, agrees, and says mint can very easily crowd out other plants so they don't receive enough water, soil, nutrients, or even sunlight. Want more gardening tips? Sign up for our free gardening newsletter for our best growing tips, troubleshooting hacks, and more! Can You Still Grow Mint at Home? If you still want to grow mint at home, you have some options. First, Hackman suggests having dedicated beds for your mint, which is something she does herself in her own garden. "I have dedicated beds for my mints and each mint is separated so one doesn't push the other out," she says. Hackman also says if you do want to grow mint but are worried about it taking over your garden, there's an easy answer: grow it in containers, but don't plant the container in the ground. "You will need to pull out some of the mint periodically, so it doesn't choke itself," she says. "I made the mistake thinking I could contain it in a container buried in my garden bed and mint found its way out." Alternatives to Growing Mint Hackman has a self-professed "mint addiction," and grows several varieties like pineapple mint, green apple mint, spearmint, peppermint, and chocolate mint. She also suggests a couple of alternatives, if you like the aroma and appearance of mint but would rather grow something less invasive in your garden. "If you want to grow a mint-like plant, I recommend mountain mint or lemon balm," she says. "Lemon balm will self-seed but you can cut it before it flowers. It generally stays in the same vicinity and doesn't get that large." Mountain mint, she says, is pollinator-friendly and will attract lots of bees, but is a larger option and can grow up to 40 inches. Hackman says there are a range of varieties of mountain mint to fit your needs.
