Here’s a look at the beautiful beach of Koh Lanta, Thailand. During the wet season, people can rent inexpensive bungalows on the beach. The price rises during the wet season (rainy season).

Apparently, some travelers had been dropping their teens off at the park and allowing them to experience the park on their own. It goes without saying (but we’ll say it anyway) that parents had pre-teens who were charged with watching over younger children at the park.  The new Disney  rule can serve two major purposes. The Disney rule for underage children can keep kids safer during their visits to the park and it can help protect Disney property from kids who misbehave when their parents are not around.  The new rule can also help cut out some of the drama that occurs when kids do not have adult supervision. It’s pretty awkward for other families and Disney staff members to  witness unchaperoned children cutting in the line or otherwise behaving badly. You all probably know what can occur when well-meaning adults try to chastise other people’s children.

The greater issue rests in the children’s safety. Although children can get hurt while their parents are around, they are certainly safer when they are under the watchful eye of an adult. So, parents will supervise their children who are under 14, which will make Disney staff members happy and Disney guests happy, but what about Disney’s there’s something for everyone marketing plan? Parents with 12 and 13-year-olds won’t be able to drop their teens off at the parks while the adults have some alone time.

Has anyone noticed the Disney commercial that targets travelers who do not have children? The commercial spotlights Disney as a place that adults can enjoy without the kids. Maybe Disney fans will see more of that, because Disney has a fair share of properties and attractions for the grown-ups. Who knows? Perhaps Disney will offer nanny services specifically for its theme parks (for a fee).

A make-up professional, Kandee carries palettes for matte eye looks, shimmery looks, and for those smokey eye looks. Those of you who have separate eye-color that you would like to carry with you on your trips should pay close attention to the large magnetic Z palette case that she uses for her shadows. She has all of her favorite shades in this large palette.

Oh, and if you are looking for vibrant eye shadows that wear well and are designed to travel, you’ll see some of the high definition shadows that are created for television and movie wear.

It’s tempting to stick to using the small applicators that are packaged with your cosmetics, but Kandee recommends that you carry your brushes during your travels. Good make-up brushes are important for smooth make-up application. Kandee shows off some of her favorite make-up brushes in this video. So, if you are unsure of which brushes you need (and what you should use your brushes for) watch the brush segment.

For those days when you will spend most of your time at the beach, or the days when you simply do not want to wear a lot of make-up, she recommends BB cream products, barely there foundation for lighter coverage. She demonstrates a make-up look that you can wear while lounging around at your favorite luxury resort, on a glamping trip, or maybe you can wear her minimalist look while on a cruise. Kandee’s video is very thorough, and it is a great guide for anyone who is traveling and would like ideas of what and how to pack for a trip.
