If you’ve been reading Brain Candy for long, you’re more than aware that I try to travel as light as possible, even if it makes me less than fashionable. I can do without a different pair of shoes for every outfit, but I do have a thing for jewelry. And yes, I’ve found an excellent way to save space and travel with a variety of necklaces.
First, I purchased a James Avery sterling silver collar like the one shown here. You could substitute a chain of some type, but I prefer more structure in my necklaces and like to wear them short.

Then, I take a handful of different pendants to complement my different outfits. I’ve also picked up several as souvenirs while traveling. The pendants fit in a small organza bag and take up very little space. I wear the collar and one pendant on the plane.

Today is National Chocolate Chip Day. You know, chocolate chips are really an all purpose food. You can put them in cookies, brownies, pancakes, muffins, ice cream, cereal or just pop ’em straight into your mouth. So celebrate with a big handful!
