I always bring my own shampoo, conditioner, face wash, soap, and lotion when I travel. Mostly this is because I am super picky about the products I use, the way they work, and the way they smell. However this has an added benefit. The more times I fill up my reusable bottles filled with product,…
What would most women do without their makeup? As you may have noticed, I love makeup. I depend on it, but I also like to play with it. In my early business travel days, I hadn’t yet mastered the art of carrying on no.matter.what. Once while flying to Oregon, the airline lost one of…
I have found a new website that is solely focused on travel sized, TSA approved, high end beauty products. 3floz has all of the great shampoos, conditioners, skincare, and other stuff I love, including an organic section!! If you are in Manhattan you can even get same day delivery. I wish they had a store…
TravelSmith has updated their “Gear Guide“, and there is some cool stuff in here!! My favorites are on page 4–all the travel beauty stuff (shocker, I know). The dual voltage flat-iron and curlers, cute little travel bottles, and the super clever soap sheets are all great tools for a gal on the go. The last…
You asked for it, you got it!! On my way home from Pittsburgh on Friday night I was in C terminal in DFW, looking desperately for an open Starbucks (which I did not find–apparently everything closes at 10pm. lame) when I remembered that I promised to take a picture of the Sephora vending machine. I…
I am currently in Pittsburgh, practically ground zero for Snowmaggedon 2010. I look outside, where I refuse to drive because the ground is covered in many feet of snow and I am from Texas so I don’t know how to drive in snow. Maybe it is my (somewhat?) perverse personality, but because I can’t go…
I recently got a question from a reader: “Can I take my makeup on the plane?” (picture from Sephora, Tarte’s Flower Child Natural Eye Shadow Palette, $44) The short answer: Yes. Going through security may be slightly tricky, but yes. The long answer: Any powders can be in your suitcase and don’t have to be…
I promised this a long time ago, and now I am delivering! I have gone through several toiletry phases in my traveling days, but I am by far happiest with the system I have now. I have my two bags, my clear plastic 1-quart size bag with liquids and my cute travel kit with my…
I was talking to a friend after my recent trip to Chicago, and she said to me, “You only take a suitcase and one carry-on bag? How is that possible? What goes in your purse??” I’ve already told you what I pack in my suitcase for a typical trip, and now, for my friend, I…
I was recently asked what one should wear to the airport, as opposed to what one should not wear to the airport (see post below). So, in honor of my shirt made of metal, here is what I typically wear to the airport. Comfortable, yet professional slacks, usually black. It’s best if they don’t wrinkle…
