With the start of the new year, I’ve been thinking a lot about goals. And quite a few of my 2022 goals are financial. I’ve been looking at my earnings, my savings, my debt, and the big one—my spending, to come up with a plan to accomplish said goals. A lot of mindless spending can happen on layovers and work trips. And since we come here to make money, not give it away, work is a good place to start if you’re wanting to cut back. Here are some money saving tips for flight attendants, so we don’t go broke at work.

Winter weather is heading to my neck of the woods, and all I can think about is keeping warm. Specifically, in a mineral-rich body of water. Today we are talking HOT SPRINGS!

Good morning, good afternoon, and happy new year folks. I think I speak for all of us when I say Bring. IT. On. 2021 was good to me, but I am not at all sad to see it go. It felt almost like a transitional year. We got used to this Pandemic world. The wounds of 2020, and the accomplishments too, faded into normalcy. I’m thrilled to enter a new chapter in 2022. With the year winding down, and the dawn of a new year upon us, I’m thinking resolutions.

The holidays are here, and while I love the lights and sweets and cheesy music, I know that this time of year isn’t merry for everyone. It wasn’t for me last year. I’ve been shuttered in my house for the last two weeks, quarantining with a mild case of COVID. Being stuck in the house by myself for so long, gave me a lot of time to reflect. To soak in this time of year and to notice things. I couldn’t help drawing parallels to last Christmas.

It’s about that time. The lights are up, the sales are on, and Netflix is chock-full of cheesy, comforting Christmas-movie goodness. Many of you will be traveling to see loved ones in the upcoming weeks. That means planes, trains, and automobiles. Since I’m a flight attendant and not a train conductor, I’ll be focusing on air travel in this post. Specifically, the DOs and DON’Ts of holiday travel.
