I am giving away all my secrets lately. First I confessed that I travel with my secret weapons for good hair. Now I’m admitting to three secret travel toiletries that I cannot live without.

Travel is not Healthy
Several years ago, my doctor told me that my lifestyle at the time was going to kill me. He was brutally honest and absolutely right. My health was suffering from paying attention to everything in my life except myself. And it’s something we can probably all relate to. I was not taking the time to…
