    Unusual Accessories that Change the Travel Game

    As avid travelers, we’re well aware of the commonly used travel gadgets like U-shaped neck pillows and universal adapters, but when is the last time you’ve heard of a pocket-sized toilet?  Retail items in the travel section have become more unique and quirky these days, meant for the unconventional wanderer.  Make life a little easier (and a whole lot cooler) with these unusual travel accessories!

    The Iconspeak T-shirt – The shirt that says it all for you.  So easy you could still use it after a few strong margaritas and for $33 (plus shipping) it’s yours!

     

    The Micro Luggage Scooter Suitcase – For the traveler that needs that extra boost when on the go!  This TSA compliant carry-on suitcase has an attached folding scooter, convenient for those short layovers that would usually leave you running from one terminal to the other.

     

    The Travel Hammock –  Hammock for two, please!  This lightweight, packable hammock also doubles up as a beach blanket.  Made from durable silk parachute material, this is perfect for the couple (or solo traveler) who loves adventure mixed with a bit of rest and relaxation, no matter where you are!

     

    The Peebol – The sister product to the Shewee.  If you’re unfamiliar with the Shewee, imagine a funnel-shaped device marketed to women to assist with less than ideal urination situations in nature or one the go.  The Peebol takes it one steps further and offers a specially designed sealable, odor-proof bag that turns liquid into gel using specially formed absorbent granules.  Great for camping, long road trips or less than ideal restroom situations while traveling.

    The SOG Credit Card Companion – Every travelers best friend.  Conveniently made to be the size of a credit card but contains a compass, 8x magnifying glass, bottle opener, awl, flat screwdriver,  2″ serrated knife, tweezers, reusable toothpick, and inch/centimeter rulers.

     

     

    The Lazy Patch Duvet Suit – Quite possibly the best thing to hit the comfort game since the invention of the onesie.  This two piece set is made from soft, 100% cotton on the inside and out and filled with polyester for added warmth.  The suit comes with extra long pant legs and sleeves to keep your digits warm and toasty but can easily be rolled up when you need to use them – perfect for those long, chilly airplane rides.  The best part is that you can store your suit (and detachable hood) in the included carrying bag that doubles as a pillow case, allowing you to put your suit to good use on the road, even when you aren’t wearing it.

     

     

     

    The Scrubba Wash and Dry Kit – For the traveler on the go or backpacker with limited space.  This travel sized wash and dry kit allows anyone to effectively clean your clothes and undergarments in just 3 minutes, no matter where you are!  Weighing in at 5 oz., this lightweight, compact system includes the travel wash bag, packing cell, drying towel, clothesline and two inflatable hangers.

     

     

     

    The Tenflyer Swiss Army Style USB Tool – For just over $2 on Amazon, you can pick up one of these handy multi-functional chargers.  Save yourself the trouble of searching for the right cable in your luggage with this efficient, compact tool suitable for most laptops, PC’s or mobile devices.

     

    The Inflatable Deckchair – Compact and convenient, this inflatable lounge chair/hammock can be taken to parks, beaches, camping, poolside, festivals and more!  Simply open the nylon sack and in one swift movement, it fills with air and…voila!

  • Valentine’s Day Ideas That Don’t Suck

    Valentine’s Day Ideas That Don’t Suck

    Let’s be honest, Valentine’s Day isn’t as much about love as it is about lust.  Lust for roses and chocolates, indulgent gifts, dim lit dinners, romance…and sex, lots and lots of sex.  It’s the greatest propellant of industry in modern day economy.  So ladies, why not get what you want?  Maybe you didn’t even know you wanted it!

    Whether you plan on staying in or having a night on the town, no matter if your budget is big or small, there is a little something here for everyone.  So without further adieu, allow me to share some ideas with you.  Fellas, take note.

    Garden Isles Dress  by For Love and Lemons – This gorgeous lace dress is lined in all the right places and sheer in the legs and waist so you can show your best features off. The Garden Isle features a built in bottom so you don’t need to worry about finding the right undergarment to wear underneath. 

     

     

    A great restaurant with the right ambiance is all it really takes for me.  Most times I’d rather be wined and dined than open a gift box, but that’s just me.  Perch is a spot that I admittedly don’t go to often enough, but not because I don’t love it.  It has spectacular views of downtown LA and a superb indoor/outdoor dining area to take it all in.  If your karma meter is full, you’ll get the table by the fireplace, it adds a nice touch of ambiance to the twinkling patio lights.  Luckily for you, they’re doing a special menu for V-Day brunch and if you’re wondering if that includes bottomless mimosas, sangria and a breakfast bar, the answer is yes.  Reserve your nest now!

    Fellas, if you really want to impress your lady with a bundle of beautiful flowers, skip the local grocer and head to a farmer’s market.  The arrangements are bound to be more unique, fresh and smell intoxicatingly delicious.  Plus, you can feel good knowing you’re supporting your community.  To find a farmer’s market in your area, click here.

    Girls will always love getting gifts like these.  I love this versatile top by Skivvies.  This bralette inspired top has a nude mesh shell with burgundy floral lace overlay, extended length, adjustable straps, and customized hardware. Let it peek out of your tanks, or wear it for a private audience only.  Oh la la!

    Here’s an idea for him or her.  Lush has incredible products that are healthy for your skin and leave it feeling soft and outright edible.  Helpful for those nights of friction between the sheets…or wherever else you may plan on bumping uglies.  Check out their Valentine’s gift sets for ideas or customize your own basket.

    Call it cliché but I happen to think this lariat arrow necklace by Free People is sickeningly adorable and stereotypical to perfection.  Also, it comes in a mini corked bottle and you know how girls love mini…well, mostly.  😉

    I’ve never met a person who doesn’t like receiving spa treatments, regardless of holiday, time of night, day or year.  Treat your honey to a rejuvenating experience at a luxury spa near you.  Condé Nast made it easy to find just what you’re looking for whether it be traditional treatments, holistic, detox and more.  Click here to access their directory.

    I dream of Bottega Louie on a regular basis.  Their desserts are confectionist masterpieces that one could almost feel guilty for eating…almost.  Fortunately for you, they can ship these bad boys anywhere.  Check out their Valentine’s Day gift boxes before they’re all gone and feel free to send an extra one my way while you’re at it!

    Wine tasting is a great date idea.  I love the tapas style of trying small bites of aromatic foods paired with their pungent, wine counterparts.  If your sommelier is good, they will explain each wine; its origin, history and enlighten your tastebuds with delicious knowledge.  It’s pretty much the grown and sexy version of dinner and a show.

    Giving loveGiving back is the best gift by far.  Spread love by donating to a charity of your choice in your sweetheart’s name.  This is gift that holds much more significance than any bouquet or lingerie set.  CharityNavigator.org compiled some great top 10 lists to help you narrow down which charity is right for you.  Go on, share the love!

    Happy Valentine’s Day!
