Hotel rooms can either be four small walls of stale smelling air, or a relaxing hideaway full of energizing aromas. The difference is found in the bottle of Way Out Wax Clean Air sprays. These revolutionary sprays use essential oils combined with their Clean Air formula of pure essential and botanical oils to neutralize offending odors, not just masking them. I always keep one of these in my hotel kit and spray in my hotel room as soon as I get in the door.

Gifts7Here’s the perfect gift for the guy in your life that likes to look smart while on the go but doesn’t want to compromise comfort.

That was until I stumbled across Lululemon’s Mission Pant II. Finally we guys have a comfy option for travel that doesn’t make us look like washed up couch potatoes! These pants are made to look like office trousers but have the feel and movement of workout gear.

SteelNetBagWhen I bought my first net sack I had no idea how attached I would grow to that little bag. It has become a no go item in my suitcase due to its compact size and functionality. When I head out on my layovers it’s always in my pocket since I never know when I will pass a city market and have the urge to stock up on fresh produce or souvenirs and nearly every time all of it manages to fit into this sack. Another selling point, this bag lasts! While other reusable shopping bags have come and gone over the years, this one has lasted the test of time.

Text is short, and the pictures are plentiful, meaning you will get a good idea of what to expect as you plane your outings.
