It was actually pretty difficult for me to come up with something for this post because in general, I had an amazing time in Salt Lake City. Met some great people, enjoyed some phenomenal views, and left feeling refreshed and inspired. The one thing I was not anticipating, however, was the air quality. Having never been to this part of the country before, I didn’t know what to expect weather-wise. And in an effort to economize and avoid checking a bag, I had left several toiletries behind. Unfortunately, the air proved to be much dryer than anticipated and I had strategically removed my lotion from the luggage. For most people, this wouldn’t be much of an issue…you’re probably thinking, just go out and buy more, right? Well, I’m extra special and have super sensitive skin that requires prescription strength creams. So, I wound up with skin peeling off my entire body for the week.
Pro-tip: If you’ve got prescription-strength anything, don’t be a hero. Always pack it, even if you think you won’t need it. You never know.
