Fall trends to add to your business travel wardrobe
Keeping up with each season’s changing trends can be hard, not to mention time consuming and expensive. The fashion world seems so out there, but most of us have to dress for the real world. This goes double for work—your job is not necessarily the best place to go crazy on the latest styles. That…
Travel Etiquette: Knocking people down is not polite
There are times when it’s understandable for people to run through the airport. A delayed flight, a short connection, a last-minute gate change. Sometimes we have to hurry! But that doesn’t excuse knocking people down and not acknowledging it. Case in point. I was waiting for the car rental shuttle a couple of weeks ago.…
Era of Luggage
A few months ago I wrote a post about my personal luggage history. I’m always fascinated by all the different types of luggage out there around the world. Soon after writing that post I was contacted by Case Luggage who have a timeline with the history of luggage. It’s pretty awesome. I’m not being compensated in any…
Beauty Tuesday: BeautyBlender Travel Kit
Every week Road Warriorette features a product that simplifies travel beauty. Do you have a favorite? Send it to RW @ RoadWarriorette.com. People seriously love the BeautyBlender.

MiniPRO by Conair Tourmaline Ceramic Hair Dryer. This hair dryer is great for travel because of its relatively small footprint, and is great for styling because it comes with…

Don’t fold your boarding pass on the bar code!
Yesterday was a very dramatic travel day, involving delayed flights, last minute connections, and dramatic sprints through the airport. It all started with an issue I’d never seen before, and wanted to share so you can avoid this in the future! At Newark the security lines were mercifully short. As I got to the Pre-check…
