    I switched to a menstrual cup 3 years ago and it has made life and travel so much easier. I don’t have to worry about finding or packing things and I don’t have to worry about leaks!

      That’s awesome to hear, Monica! Sooo useful for traveling and when you’re on-the-go 🙂

    Great post! One thing I would caution about menstrual cups is especially when you go to a country where you need your Hepatitis A and B vaccines, menstrual cups are a no-go as you need clean water to wash them and Hep A is transmitted through water. I think that’s something really important to caution your readers about when you’re suggesting the use of a menstrual cup so liberally. It is crucial to advise your readers to check the status of the water in the country they are travelling to. Without equipping them with the information to do this research, your readers who are travelling to various new countries and who take your advice to use a menstrual cup can, in the worst case scenario, potentially inadvertently experience serious harm and in some cases, fatality.

      Hi Norah! You are completely right. Thanks so much for pointing this out. That’s a great tip and I’ve updated the post with it.

Unforgettable memories from the ultimate girls’ weekend getaway—with 18 kids, sunshine, and pure luxury at @lascasitaspm 🌴✨

Las Casitas is managed by @vehm.mx, the premier property management company in Punta Mita. They oversee the most exclusive villas in the area, and every one of their properties is fully staffed and loaded with luxury amenities.

This gorgeous beachfront estate in the exclusive Kupuri community features three private casitas, 12 bedrooms, 13.5 bathrooms, a stunning infinity pool, hot tub, gym, and beach access. It’s designed for big groups, but feels intimate, relaxed, and totally elevated.

The real MVPs? The incredible full-time staff. We had a chef, sous chef, pastry chef, butler, concierge, and housekeeping—literally someone looking after our every need. Every meal was a gourmet experience, and every moment was effortless (which, with 18 kids, is saying a lot).

@vehm.mx helped us coordinate in-house massages for the mamas, and organized a piñata for the kids and a mariachi band to celebrate Oliver’s birthday THREE-esta!

Perfect for a 40th birthday, girlfriend getaway, or large family trip—we’re already planning our return. I can’t recommend it enough (or stop talking about it)!
