    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!

  • 9 Unique Halloween Events Happening in L.A. This Weekend

    9 Unique Halloween Events Happening in L.A. This Weekend

    If crowded clubs and obnoxious waiting lines have made you fear Halloween weekend in Los Angeles, I feel you.  After more than a decade in LA, I’m relieved to know that there are plenty of options out there to spice up the holiday in a whole new way.  Here are some fun ways to get in the spirit and enjoy All Hallows Eve.

     

     

    1.  Cemetery Tour –  The Hollywood Forever Cemetery, better known for its weekend screenings, will be hosting a 2 hour walking tour with legendary tombstone stops along the way including Cecil B. Demille, Rudolph Valentino, Vampira, Carl “Alfalfa” Switzer, Mickey Rooney and more.

     

    What was the witch’s favorite subject in school?   Spelling. 

     

     

    1.  Oktoberfest – There are quite a few Oktoberfest celebrations happening throughout the month so find the closest one to you and grab yourself a bratwurst and a cold beer!  Just beware, you might also happen to stumble across dachshund races, dancing and live music.

     

    What kind of streets do zombies like the best?   Dead ends.

     

    3.  The Dark Harbor – Unlike Halloween Horror Nights, the Queen Mary lets you dress up in costume on Halloween.  Enjoy shows, rides, mazes, live music and much more.  If you happen to miss out on the fun during Halloween, they also host a Dia de los Muertos event on November 1st that even offers up a cash prize for the best costume of the night!  *Tip: Buy your ticket online (and at least 24 hours in advance) for a discount.

     

    How does a ghost say goodbye to a vampire?   So long, sucker!

     

    4.  Sinister Pointe Trust Challenge – This is not your typical maze of people being shuffled through a crowded haunted house.  This scenario is a little different.  You will enter a pitch black chamber by yourself as your partner watches from a control room via infrared cameras.  Once inside, your partner will instruct you on how to collect certain items and survival coins in order to successfully complete your mission.  Once achieved, it’s their turn to brave the dark in a totally different chamber with a whole new set of creepy characters.  *Tip: This works ideally for 2 people but they can accommodate groups of 4 as well.

     

    How do monsters tell their future?   They read their horrorscope.

     

    5.  The REAL Haunted Houses – If the internet says it’s true, it must be, right?  For those that dare, create your own customized tour around town and visit some of LA’s most notable haunted digs.

     

    Why did the ghost go into the bar?   For the Boos.

     

    6.  Halloween Harvest Festival – If you’re up for a haunted corn maze, this particular location stays open late (12am on weekends) for a different kind of experience.  Also offered up here: hayrides, gemstone mining, rock climbing, crafting and other spooktacular events.

     

    Where do mummies go for a swim?   The dead sea.

     

    7.  Escape Room L.A. – Grab a group of friends (up to 11 total) and use your smarts to escape one of four themed rooms using clues and solving puzzles.  You will have up to 1 hour to complete the task or be haunted for eternity!

     

    What is a vampire’s favorite ice cream flavor?   Veinilla.

     

    8.   Museum of Death – This is the real deal.  Located in the heart of Hollywood, the MOD is sure to get you into the Halloween spirit.  Spend as much time as you’d like during this self guided tour to see crime scenes photos from notorious murders, view a collection of body bags, coffins and full size replicas of execution devices, or watch endless hours of autopsies, deaths and the actual recruitment video for the Heaven’s Gate Cult.

     

    What do you call two spiders that just got married?   Newlywebbed.

     

    9.  Who Framed Roger Rabbit? – Grand Performances is screening Who Framed Roger Rabbit (AKA one of my all time fave movies) on this Thursday at the Marina Pavilion in DTLA for free!  Seats are first come, first serve though so come early and bring a blanket to snuggle up on.

     

    HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
