Summer Travel Essentials: Conair's new Hairdryer

One of my Summer Travel Essentials is bringing my own hairdryer. I know most hotels nowadays have their own but they're usually the ones on the wall and take forever to dry my hair. For my travels this summer, I'll be bringing the new Conair Infiniti You Reel Folding Handle Dryer. The handles folds neatly into the body of the dryer and the cord also reels into the handle which is perfect. It occupies less space in my suitcase and works like a charm.

Performance-wise? It's fabulous! It's super powerful and leaves my hair shiny and dry in great time. It has 3 heat and 2 speed switch settings (high and low) similar to what I'm using now. I've been using Conair's hairdryers non-stop since I was introduced to their Infiniti Pro Salon Performance AC Motor Styling Tool in 2010 (which I nickname the orange hairdyer.) It's salon-powerful but can be quite bulky for travel, which is why I'm so glad I have the new You Reel dryer as part of my travel essentials.

(Disclaimer: I received this product from this company's PR agency to test, try and share my thoughts with my readers.)

Summer Travel Essentials: Cute workout gear by Marika

While traveling this summer, it's important to also keep up with your fitness routine. (Don't have one? Start one today with quick 15-20 minute jogs or stretching exercises, but be sure to consult your doctor first.) Anyway, there's tons of fitness wear options available out there but for this summer's travel essentials I'm interested in the Marika active wear. I was particularly drawn to Marika when I learned about its Miracles line-active shapewear to make you look and feel slim! At a preview at their showroom in NYC this month, I saw some fantastic products they have currently and are coming up later this Fall, including their new fitness accessories line such as resistance tubes, fitness balls, core balls, yoga mats and more! I'm personally looking forward to adding these to my own collection (except the yoga mats which I have a few already.)

I'm loving their tie-dye and prints for the tops to make it less boring when working out. They also have sports bras that have removable cups which gives you the option to make it however you want it to. Their pants for the Fall also will be available in different lengths which is great since since if your legs are shorter or taller than the regular sizes. I'm also excited to for this fall their coordinating tops and bottoms as you can see above in the purple tank and matching yoga pants.

I received the Marika Tek Trinitiy Tank to review and it's now one of my favorite workout tanks. It's incredibly light and perfect to wear when it's like a hot day today (reaching 90's). Its dry wik fabric absorbs sweat and it just feels comfortable. Its racerback and sporty looking and can easily be worn the rest of your day. This will definitely be packed in my bags for my summer vacation.
