The kids are back to school and summer vacation is now just a memory. Frequent business travelers are back to the grind, but that does not mean we should overlook our wellness and comfort. These popular products can improve your travels, home life and overall well-being.
BelliWelli daily fiber and probiotics powder
This easy-to-mix powder from BelliWelli is packed with fiber and probiotics for healthy metabolism, more energy and less bloating. It comes in individual packets with various flavors that are easy to put in a briefcase or carry-on bag or a small container with a secure top. That’s great for families or business travelers on longer trips, especially if criss crossing time zones confusing the body’s normal appetite. It is best to enjoy at breakfast because it can help you feel fuller throughout the day. BelliWelli also has snack bars that are a great supplement for a snack any time during the day.
Dollar Shave Club razors
I love saving cash, who doesn’t? From high-quality handles with three-bladed razors that attach to a sturdy handle to body shaving products that are lightweight and easy to carry, Dollar Shave Club has made a name for itself with top-notch products at a discount. Personally, I love how their razors last for so long, which saves me cash and space in my bag since I do not have to carry extra razors on a month-long trip. The body wash smells really nice, almost like a cologne. I wonder if the antiperspirant and the line’s own cologne are just as appealing. There is even a groin spray that frequent travelers could really appreciate after a long day of travel.
Twillory AIR Suit
If you’re like me, I run hot. The Twillory AIR Suit has breathable fabric in the jacket and in the pants that allows air to flow through making you feel comfortable and refreshed. I use the jacket for formal and informal situations. My go-to look is wearing the blazer with a pair of jeans creating a relaxed, business-casual look. International travelers know all too well that air conditioning is not appreciated overseas the same way it is in the U.S. This blazer, and now the full suit, have been a lifesaver when I do business in parts of Europe, Africa and Asia where air conditioning is not the same. The number of compliments I get for the stretchy fabric and color is the icing on the cake. it is also machine-washable and has zippered pockets for important items.
Columbia sunglasses
The brand famous for its outerwear also has exceptional eyewear too. Its polarized sunglasses will protect your eyes and face whether you’re at the beach, fishing on the coast or exploring the starting snowfall of the slopes (it also has its own line of goggles, too). They come in a variety of styles and price points for the active traveler, but all with the quality for which Columbia is known. I especially like this tortoise shell pattern.
TESSAN power strip and wall plug
If you have ever been in a hotel or airport lounge with limited access to power outlets, you will really appreciate the TESSAN power strip and wall plug. They both help to save space by requiring only one outlet, but then diverting that energy to numerous ports for you to plug in standard and USB devices to charge simultaneously. The power strip is a great item to use at home, too, since it can be tucked discreetly behind a piece of furniture while you keep all of your devices plugged into one place.
I like the wall outlet multi-plug adapter because it means I do not have to worry about anyone tripping over my power strip cord. Both are essential items for frequent travelers, but also make a great holiday gift back home.
Liquid I.V. hydration packets
Earlier this summer, Liquid I.V.® wanted to celebrate the season with iconic flavors that recall special memories from childhood like Popsicle® Firecracker Hydration Multiplier with hints of citrus-fueled lemon lime, tart cherry and raspberry, just like those chilly treats. Sugar-free Rainbow Sherbet has flavors of raspberry, tangy orange and zesty lime. Add these powders to a bottle of water to hydrate the body faster than a normal glass of water. These are great for frequent travelers, flight crew and kids who spend a lot of time after school sweating at sports practice.
New for fall is the launch of Hydration Multiplier® +Energy Blackberry Peach hydration packets. These include approximately 100mg of natural caffeine. That’s the same as a couple of cups of coffee. This makes it the perfect morning hydration tool since it has caffeine and three times the electrolytes of other sports drinks. It is great for frequent travelers, especially those that cross various time zones and are fighting jet lag.
