Make your Mom feel even more Beautiful

By Madelyn Miller, the TravelLady 

I have my favorite beauty items. But for a short trip, I had been taking a whole bottle or jar. Why didn’t someone think of this great single dose idea sooner? You just take what you need for the number of days you will be gone.

FOR MOMS WHO ARE GOING PLACES

She will love LUSH’s “Come Fly with Me” zippered goodie sack. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a private jet or EasyJet, when she is whooshed away on the spur of the moment all she needs to grab is this neat little white and blue bag to take advantage of a short break to somewhere unexpected.

Come Fly with me is reminiscent of the days when jet-setting was truly exclusive. With Whoosh Balm and Shower Jelly to get over the jetlag, Seanik to wash the sea salt from her hair, and Flying Fox to help her leave all the silly little problems at home (hey, we don’t mean you) Ciao.  ($38.95)

A MOVEABLE FEAST IN HAIR CARE
Single Dose Packaging Lightens the Travel Load

When Claudie and Rino Jasper, owners of a well-known salon in Houston, Texas, decided to create a line of haircare products, they posed a survey to each of their well-heeled clients.  In response to the question, "what are you looking for in a haircare line," an overwhelming 78% said that they wanted products that they could travel with...

Introducing, Beauty-id, the next wave of innovation in hair care. Designed as single dose packets, Beauty-id is a deluxe treatment system that takes travel products to a new level of variety, durability and quality.  Infused with special herbs, fruits, and vitamins, each drop is intended to stay as fresh as the day it was packaged.  

The Assortment:
Beauty-id offers a full range of competitively priced shampoos, conditioners, masks, and styling products for a variety of hair types.  These hair-enhancing treatments include “Nourishing” products for dry hair, “Daily” products for all hair types, and more intensive concoctions for stressed and colored hair.  

The Recipe:
When peeled opened, the heat sealed packets reveal an abundance of fresh ingredients, and essential oils from France.  Kiwi…mandarin…olive oil…shea butter transport everyday hair care into a ritual.

The Architecture:
Beauty-id’s award-winning packaging features charming colors and witty illustrations. Individual packets are sold in a precious full size “jewel box” dispenser with twenty Beauty-in-Monodoses for every day use, or in an accordion-style Ideas-to-Go folder, containing six personalized Beauty-in-Monodoses for people on the go.

MAKE SURE MOM ALWAYS HAS SOMETHING TO WEAR

Typically, people don’t brag about wearing the same thing for a week straight, but fans of the Macabi Original Adventure Travel Skirt have good reason to boast. It’s like an Origami skirt, one that reconfigures into many useful shapes. With a snap and a clip, the Macabi Skirt® transforms into various versions of skirts, pants and shorts. When adventure travel calls for light luggage; a wardrobe that’s sensitive to climate and activity changes; and culturally appropriate attire, the Macabi Skirt® springs into action. It makes the packing process easy as pie.

This a very worldly skirt that will travel as well as Mom does.

As with most smart and deceptively simple designs, the Macabi Skirt® was born of necessity, albeit in an exotic locale. While bonefishing in the Yucatan fifteen years ago, experienced world traveler Carol Louder found herself in a predicament. She had chosen to wear a skirt to beat the heat yet the billowy material didn’t get along with her fishing line, making a tangled mess. After returning from the fishing trip, Carol sought a snarl-free, quick-drying skirt that could just as easily hike as cocktail—one that would be cool, sun protective and comfortable for most climates and respectful of varying cultures. Unable to find the ultimate travel wear, she used her entrepreneurial spirit to create her own skirt and eventually her own business.

The Macabi Original Adventure Travel Skirt is made of tough but cottony-soft, breathable Supplex® nylon fabric which resists wrinkles and dries at warp speed. A discreet strap and snap combo allow the skirt to convert into pants, shorts and a short skirt. Skirts feature a comfortable elastic drawstring waistband, oversized pockets (for cameras, sunglasses, tchotchkes), zippered security pocket (for passport, Euros, autographs). As an extra bonus, the entire skirt stuffs into the security pocket for efficiency. The hardworking skirt comes in five colors, three lengths and a generous range of sizes. With such adventure travel bling the Macabi Skirt® has proven to be one of the most rugged, versatile, well-traveled garments on the planet. In its spare time, somehow, the Macabi Skirt® managed to clone itself in the form of a men’s skirt. That’s right, men are not discriminated against in the Macabi Skirt® world.

Whether one wishes to wear it for one day or ten in a row; to Pamplona for the running of the bulls, a casual business dinner in Boulder or a Bhutanese temple, the Macabi Skirt® can make the trip. For more information and entertaining stories, go to www.macabiskirt.com.

MOM IS ONE SMOOTH OPERATOR. HELP KEEP HER THAT WAY

The first, the Schick® Intuition® Plus™ razor system, is the newest introduction to the Schick Intuition line. Intuition Plus is perfect for travel because its built-in skin-conditioning solid lathers, moisturizes and shaves in one easy step so you can eliminate packing shaving cream.
