I LOVE the yoga mat- definitely recommend it! I don’t know how I traveled now without it :) It’s a great brand, too. Yea coconut oil can be a bit of a pain when it melts. I found some really great containers that do pretty well, though we always put it in a ziplock bag when we’re moving around just in case. Recently we forgot and put it in the side of Dan’s bag, and it actually exploded everywhereeee! Not fun! We always forget about baby wipes, but totally agree that those are a must!

Oo great idea to whip it up with some essential oils! I love the idea of adding mint and using it as an insect repellent- so much better than the deet stuff!

Thanks Pam :) And totally agree- a great playlist is an absolute necessity!

So glad you liked our ideas! I don’t know how I survived without the headphones now that I have them :) And yes- coconut oil is the absolute best! Haha it’s probably a bit more versatile for women, but still great nonetheless :)

It works really well actually! The only downside is that you still have to wring out all your clothes and dry them. But whenever I wash my clothes in the sink I feel like they don’t actually get clean, while as with the Scrubba they are as clean as in a machine. I think it’s worth it if you will use it often- then the cost per load isn’t too bad. But if you’re like us and just resort to paying someone to wash your clothes or wait and wait and wait until you can do it all at once at a couchsurfer’s home, then maybe you won’t get your money’s worth. Hope that helps!

I was tempted by the Scrubba when it was going through it’s launch and was incredibly tempted. Was it worth the purchase, does it work as well as hoped?

Noise cancelling headphones/earplugs are a big tick from me.

As for coconut oil, I never knew it was so verstaile.
