BeautyZZZ Natural Silk Pillowcase

BeautyZZZ Natural Silk Pillowcase

We've given you many tips on making a blowout last; but one thing we didn't recommend was using a silk pillowcase. The BeautyZZZ Natural Silk Pillowcase promises to defend against bed head.  The soft surface allows your hair to slide over the pillowcase during the night and not get snagged and tangled.

It also protects your face's natural contours. Isn't it is terrible to wake up after a long night's sleep and see a new wrinkle in the mirror because you were sleeping on your side?

This would be perfect for travel for your hair and skin; but also it packs small and repels dust mites which are in even the fanciest hotels. You could also use it as a dirty laundry bag on your way home. The BeautyZZZ pillowcase is at Beauty.com.

Will You Miss the Hotel Soap?

MSNBC.com reports that in an effort to be more eco-friendly, hotel--even high end hotels--are doing away with individual bars of soaps and miniature shampoo and conditioner bottles in favor of wall dispensers. We think this is a good idea, as long as they are cleaned regularly; nothing's grosser than the goop that gets stuck at the tip of a dispenser. What we would miss is the little bottles of lotion. They come in handy for our carry on bags. Read Will You Miss the Hotel Soap.

The Molton Brown Tropical Traveler kit is available on 3floz.com.

Airport Survival Tips

line at airport
We love the Airport Survival Tips featured in Travel and Leisure from experts ranging from Barney's Simon Doonan to Eric Ripert, chef and co-owner of Le Bernadin. We have a survival tip of our own to add the formidable list: If your flight is canceled while you're at the airport, call the airline while waiting on line to get rebooked. Chances are you'll get through before you make it to the front of the line and be on a new flight faster than all the folks who are still waiting at the airport. Do you have an airport survival tip? We would love to hear it!
