We all love to travel, but hate to pack! What an ordeal trying to meet airlines’ ever-increasing demands for smaller carry-on sizes while juggling suitable outfits for all occasions—adding a clutch function to a passport holder, and reimagining a beach sarong as a night-at-the-opera shawl!
The bulkiest item in my suitcase is usually my plush bath robe, just because I wouldn’t be able to relax without it in-between my inevitably strenuous city tours, sightseeing walks, and lengthy museum visits in endlessly intriguing far-away lands.
That was until my recent discovery of Midnighties, travel-ready sleepwear for women “created by four sisters tired of ‘wardrobe gymnastics’ during travel, hosting houseguests, or visiting friends.”
You see, Midnighties is a new line of swanky, satin-trimmed pajamas and night gowns made of soft and breathable bamboo (sustainable, too!) with built-in, lightly padded bra-like support that’s designed to be seen, not hastily concealed inside a bulky bath robe.
Indispensable on long flights or when lounging with friends in a shared space, where you can’t exclude quick dashes to the bathroom and early morning trips to the kitchen for a caffeine fix; or in a hotel that keeps a coffee station in the lobby; or staying with the family of cousins twice removed—anywhere in an informal settings where you want to look casual, yet decent Midnighties are a savvy girl-traveler’s best friends!
These bamboo undergarments are naturally antibacterial, breathable, and certified by OEKO-TEX (a system of independent certifications for textile products and production facilities ensuring they are free from harmful substances).
“As someone who has lived in three countries and visited 80+, I guarantee Midnighties are travel-tested and approved,” states Julie Coin, Founder. Find out more and order your own set or two at: https://www.midnighties.com/.
How often do you wish you had something to snack on while on a train ride, a long excursion, or arriving late at night in your guestroom after an international flight when all eating establishments around are already closed, and a lavish hotel buffet breakfast is quite a few hours away…
Oh, some light and nutritious nuts and dry fruits would’ve come in handy, wouldn’t they? Easy to pack, non-perishable, widely satisfying, and healthy!
Here’s what Matthew Baron, Founder and CEO of Wholesale Nuts and Dried Fruits has to say about it:
“Having healthy food on hand when traveling is a challenge, especially for people who need gluten-free or vegan diet, or have digestive issues. My love of food brought me to focus on nuts, dried fruit, and seeds. [Great for travel favorites, are] pineapple rings from Thailand, pecans from Georgia, hazelnuts from Oregon, and raisins from California. I work with 37 farmers and can tell the story of any of these products!”
Rather reassuring, right? The company also offers farm-fresh walnuts, almonds, pumpkin and sunflower seeds—rich in nutrients known to boost brain function and help maintain memory, like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, magnesium, zinc, iron, and other microelements—clean and nourishing snacks delivered in sustainable packaging. These snacks do more than just taste good, they supports your brain, your heart, your energy level, and your immunity.

Over the years, in my many travels, I discovered a strange occurrence with my wellbeing while on the road: I never feel sea sick at sea, but I always feel nauseated and almost fainting in the mountains! The higher the elevation the worst I feel. When everyone around me is starry-eyed watching the snowy peaks glistening in the Nordic sun, I desperately look for a bench or a wall to lean on and suffer in silence until the elevator down would bring me back to my senses.
Apparently, there’s a cure for that! Three Lollies company, founded by healthcare professionals—Noni Martin, Registered Nurse, and Doctor Jim Pathman, MD., produces a line of natural, drug-free products to help relieve nausea and promote hydration for pregnant women, cancer patients, and travelers suffering from motion sickness–in other words, all conditions associated with nausea and dehydration.
