As a 5-foot-tall traveler, I can confidently say that owning petite pants that won’t drag on the floor is a travel necessity, but finding a pair that checks all the boxes isn’t easy.

I’m challenging myself to a carry-on only summer, which means there’s no room for non-essentials in my suitcase. While I consider a portable steamer a travel must-have, given my limited space, I unfortunately have to place it in the non-essential column. That being said, wrinkle-free dresses, tops, and pants are at the top of my shopping list for my upcoming summer getaways. Lucky for me, Amazon is overflowing with comfortable travel clothes—no ironing or steaming necessary.

Credit : Amazon (2) Confession: I’m highly skeptical about viral beauty brands. Call me picky, but more often than not, they don’t live up to the hype. That’s why, when I saw the buzzy K-beauty brand, Medicube, take over the beauty conversation, I was hesitant to join the bandwagon. However, after hearing rave reviews from my friends who had tried the brand, claiming it gave them “glass skin,” I was cautiously optimistic.

Credit: Food & Wine / Getty Images It’s finally grilling season, and my dad has wasted no time at all firing up his grill. My parents live in a seaside town outside Boston, where weekends are filled with barbecues and cedar-plank salmon dinners, which is a stark contrast to my life in New York City. That’s why I love hopping on the train on a Friday for a quick trip to catch whatever grilling masterpiece my dad has planned for that weekend.
