About The Luxe Initiative
Intentional Living, Smarter Systems, Better Travel — Built by Us for You
The Luxe Initiative is our shared vision — built from my love for structure, planning, and beautiful systems, and J’s grounded, practical, real-world approach to everything we create together.
I’m Kendra: the creator, the planner, the architect of our systems.
J is my partner in life and in this business — the tester, the evaluator, and the one who makes sure every idea actually works where it matters: outside our heads and out in the world.
Together, we build tools, stories, workflows, and systems that make life easier, travel smoother, and everyday routines feel intentional — not overwhelming.
Who We Serve
We built The Luxe Initiative for people who want to:
travel smarter, not harder
upgrade life with tools that actually work
eliminate overwhelm
organize chaos with simple systems
enjoy adventures without the stress
use gear that’s been tested in real conditions
make their days feel smoother, calmer, and more intentional
If you love great tools, smart planning, real-world-tested gear, or simply making life easier — you’re in the right place.
What The Luxe Initiative Includes
The Luxe Initiative is made of three connected branches — each different on the surface, but sharing one core philosophy:
When your systems support you, your life gets easier.
Below is what each part of our company brings to the table.
Luxe Travel Planner (LTP)
People often ask if I do travel consulting.
Not because I book trips, but because I plan them the way a consultant would:
with structure
with clarity
with checklists
with backup plans
with every detail accounted for
LTP takes that same approach and turns it into a planner that helps you:
organize complex trips
track reservations
prepare packing lists
manage gear
stay ahead of logistics instead of chasing them
It’s not a travel agency.
It’s the structure and clarity of consultant-level planning — made accessible, customizable, and entirely in your control.
Luxe Gadget Girl (LGG)
This is where my love for gadgets, gear, upgrades, and smart tools lives.
LGG is:
real stories
honest reviews
the gear that earned a permanent spot
the fails, the wins, and the surprises
the tech and tools that make diving, travel, and everyday life better
It started with dive gear but quickly expanded — because I love ALL gadgets, not just scuba ones.
Kitchen. Electronics. Travel tools. Organization. Workout gear.
If it makes life easier, I want to test it, use it, and talk about it.
Luxe Consulting (LC)
Luxe Consulting is the professional extension of the same strengths behind LTP and LGG:
structure, clarity, and systems that actually work.
As a senior Salesforce administrator with two decades of experience, I help small businesses:
simplify processes
clean up system chaos
automate where it makes sense
document what actually matters
implement efficient workflows
build clarity into their operations
LC fits naturally into The Luxe Initiative because it uses the same philosophy behind everything we create:
When your systems work — whether for travel, gear, or business — everything else gets easier.
It’s the same planning brain behind LTP, the same testing mindset behind LGG, and the same commitment to turning complexity into calm.
Our Philosophy
We believe in intentional living — not perfection.
We believe in systems that make your life easier, not more complicated.
We believe in simple upgrades that add ease, comfort, or joy.
We believe in testing, refining, learning, and improving.
We believe that luxury isn't about price — it's about intentionality.
Our Story
We’re the pair who always show up prepared — with backups, better tools, smarter workflows, and a running list of “things we’ll improve next time.”
Over the years, that turned into:
planning detailed dive and travel itineraries
refining packing systems
testing and retesting gear
finding the gadgets that make life easier
helping friends simplify their trips
organizing chaotic systems at work and at home
turning everyday problems into elegant solutions
Eventually, we realized this wasn’t just a habit — it was who we are.
And that’s how The Luxe Initiative was born.
Our Roles
Kendra — Founder & Visionary
I’m the systems thinker, the planner, the content creator, and the designer of everything inside LTP and LGG.
I bring:
20+ years of systems experience
a love of structure, clarity, and organization
a deep obsession with gear and tools
an eye for “the next upgrade”
and the drive that turned LTI into a real business
J — Partner, Tester, Co-Owner
J is the grounding force behind LTI.
He brings:
real-world testing
practicality
problem-solving
calm decision-making
a “does this actually work?” mindset
and an equal partnership in both life and business
He helps ensure every tool, system, and structure we create actually works where it counts: in real-life conditions.
