De Odor Works product review - can a slab of stainless steel eliminate body odor?
Feb 16th, 2011 at 11:00AM: De Odor Works is a stainless steel ... object, for lack of a better word, which claims to be able to eliminate all bodily odors with nothing more than running water.

Jul 14th, 2010 at 9:00AM: It really shouldn't be that hard, but finding the right travel-size sunscreen is one of my least favorite things to do before a trip. Though it's often more cost-effective to go for the larger bottle, sometimes all I need is a small tube for a quick beach trip or weekend getaway.
Unfortunately, my local drugstore never seems to have the size I need in the brand that I prefer. Yes, you can ...Ten creative things to do with hotel bathroom amenities
Jul 7th, 2010 at 2:00PM:
When your travels regularly take you to hotels, you'll no doubt have a collection of small amenities. I'm pretty weird, because I'll take whatever I can get. Of course, with the TSA liquid rules, the amount you can take back home is limited, but if you are traveling by car, or checking bags, there is almost limit to what you can collect.
Here are ten fun things you can do with hotel ...Use contact lens cases to transport gels and lotions - Packing tip
Jun 24th, 2010 at 1:04PM: Contact lens cases with screw-on lids make great travel accessories. When you want to take small quantities of hair gel, sculpting wax, eye make-up remover, an essential oil, Aloe Vera, or under-eye cream, you can't beat contact lens cases. They're small. They don't leak. They can hold one week's worth of lotion or gel in each little section.
If you don't already own spare contact lens cases, you ...The Ikea Trollfjorden - the best deal on the perfect travel toiletries bag?
Apr 30th, 2010 at 9:00AM: I'll be honest with you - I love Ikea. I love their $4.99 Swedish meatball platter, I love their kitchen accessories and my daughter loves their toys. Of course, I am still a European at heart, so perhaps there is something genetic about enjoying a trip to the local big blue box.
One of my favorite parts of a trip to Ikea is finding bargains I had not expected to find - like my find of the week ...Luggage liquid limitations to end - but only in Europe, and not till 2013
Apr 29th, 2010 at 12:00PM: The European Union has committed to lifting the current restrictions on liquids carried by air passengers no later than April 2013.
It was back in 2006 when security staff at London Heathrow UK police foiled a terror attempt that planned to use liquids stored in hand luggage to blow up a plane - and since then, travelers have been limited in how much they can carry on a plane.
The rules have ...Collect hotel toiletries - Souvenir tip
Apr 26th, 2010 at 1:32PM: It may seem strange, but something as simple as some hotel toiletries can be the best souvenir.
I still have my Mickey Mouse soap from the Old Key West Resort in Disney World, monoi oil from the Sheraton at Tahiti, and love using the spa quality Honey Mango Body Lotion from the Grand Wailea in Maui.
You don't have to feel like you're stealing as hotels want you to take those toiletries in ...Don't forget toiletries - Packing tip
Apr 19th, 2010 at 1:56PM: On the morning of a trip, I keep my toiletry bag with me as I get dressed. After I use each item that morning, I simply drop each into the bag.
This eliminates my taking things that I probably will not need -- and makes sure basics like my eyebrow pencil or my toothbrush is not left behind.
Before I zip the bag, I can always add in a few extras, drop in my jewelry pill box, and that bag has ...Gadling gear review - humangear GoToob
Jul 6th, 2009 at 11:30AM: Regular readers will know that I'm a sucker for a good gadget. Granted, most of the stuff that grabs my attention is battery operated, and has at least one button. So, it takes a pretty smart gadget to impress me if it doesn't beep, buzz or blend. The humangear GoToob is such a gadget. This little tube is designed to hold your liquids when you are on the road. Sure, the concept may sound really ...Gadling's Valentine's day giveaway - day 3 - his and hers Travelon toiletry bags

Apr 4th, 2007 at 7:51PM: The recent NY Times article about packing toiletries in your bags was interesting. In addition to laying out the ever-changing rules and hazards about carrying liquids onto planes, it noted some new products in the area of traveling personal hygiene. I mean, come on, we've all been hoarding hotel shampoos because of their convenient--and "legal"--travelsize. There are alternatives now.
La Fresh ...Toiletries Meet Pitotubes
Sep 21st, 2006 at 4:10PM: Packing toiletries always becomes a major production. I have yet to master a way to shrink down the amount of shampoos, lotions, and travel-sized shaving cream I toss in my bags and then there's the reoccurring nightmare of everything exploding while some 35,000 ft in the air. I've managed to soothe myself and my worries by wrapping the goods twice in recycled Target bags, but who am I kidding? If ...
