LOOK-YOUR-BEST TRAVEL TIPS

As the author of the bestseller THE GLOBETROTTER’S GET-GORGEOUS GUIDE, you know that I’m always going somewhere.  And I not only want to, but I need to look terrific, especially now that I’m going to be a guest lecturer on cruise ships and in the “public” eye aboard many luxury vessels.  Not only do my face and figure need to be at their best, but so do my clothes. 

I love beautiful clothes, and I’ve discovered some secret weapons to make sure I always look frequent-flier fabulous. Take a look at these great products for your clothing, to take in your travels. 

1).  Dryel On The Go.  This mini marvel weighs in at just .07 fluid ounces, so it’s AOK for FAA requirements for carry-on.  This petite pen is an instant stain remover, so there are no worries about red wine, lipstick, coffee, and other stains that I’m apt to get on my next trip.  Dryel On The Go helps remove fresh stains, and it’s even safe on delicates, and hand-washables such as wools and silks.  You can even use it on “dry-clean-only” garments.  

2). Downy Wrinkle Releaser. In this corner, weighing in at just 3 ounces, is the champion Downy Wrinkle Releaser.  One quick spritz followed by a quick “tug and smooth” and your outfit is instantly crease-free. Another worry-free wonder for going through security at airports, so you can place it in your carry-on. 

I also never leave home without my Bounce travel-size lint roller in an “Outdoor Fresh” fragrance, and my Tide Travel Laundry Bag that eliminates odors. Make sure to stash all of these in your suitcase for worry-free trips.  All of these can take the “travail” out of travel.

Kickham’s book takes the “travail” out of travel with a wealth of secrets, many from celebrities such as supermodel Cheryl Tiegs, TV host Vanna White and socialite Ivana Trump. www.GorgeousGlobetrotter.com

For example, what should Kate Middleton pack?  Kickham, whose book hit Amazon’s bestseller list as #1 in December in the “Honeymoon Travel Guide” category, offers road-tested suggestions as to what Ms. Middleton should stash in her suitcase.  These include:

1). A Satin Pillowcase.  Broadcaster Joan Lunden revealed this tip in Kickham’s book.  Satin, is much more forgiving than cotton, and a pillowcase in satin doesn’t cause wrinkles or creases in the hair and face.

2). Oscillococcinum. An industry secret found on the sets of many Hollywood productions, Oscillo, says Kickham, is one of the best homeopathic remedies you can pack in your travel bag, to nip flu-like symptoms in the bud.

3). Eboost. India Hicks, Princes Charles’ goddaughter, who was in the wedding party of Charles and Diana, told Kickham she swears by this energy drink.  Eboost makes five-calorie packs of pure goodness offering Energy, Immunity, Recovery and Focus.  It has a huge celebrity following including Madonna, Heidi Klum and Oprah.

4). G.M. Collin’s Bio-Organique Line. G.M. Collin, a prestige beauty line uses 99% natural ingredients, with no mineral oils, alcohol, parabens or silicone.  The Revitalizing Mist, containing orange water, Concord grape, fig extract and green tea, is ideal to spray on your face while traveling on a plane. Ms. Middleton should also check out www.3floz.com, to find petite sizes of cosmetics to take in her travels.

5). Sunsweet Cherry-Essence Prunes. These super snacks, which taste like highly caloric dried cherries but only have 20 calories each, will give the Royal Couple a little boost when they’re tired from traveling.  They’re incredibly delicious and loaded with potassium to give you instant energy.
