I travel a lot for work and play! So, I know a little bit about the subject.
Flying or driving… If you’re leaving on any holiday and staying in a hotel remember these things:
I like to carry disinfecting spray to clear the air. I also spritz on door knobs, shower floors or tubs, phones in the room and TV remotes.
Hotels are trying to be eco friendly. Some are not supplying bottles of shampoo, conditioner and hand and body lotion. Instead they have wall units in the shower that hold and dispense shampoo and conditioner. They also may have a body wash dispenser. But beware some are very aromatic and filled with essential oils to soothe anxiety, calm, and help you sleep well. EX: lavender,lemon, orange and peppermint.
*Essential oils can make some people with or without sensitive skin,itch,tingle,burn or you may be allergic to some. . I like to bring my own mini bottles of shampoo, conditioner and hand & body lotion.
Some hotels don’t offer bottles of mouthwash, shower caps, hand and body lotion and more. It depends on where you stay.
Some hotels still offer: luxury soap bars, bath gels, shoe horns, mini emergency sewing kits, nail files, face wash, moisturizing facial lotion and mouthwash.
Unless you ask the hotel when you check in. they may not refresh towels and clean your room. Lately hotels are doing the let us know you want it done. Otherwise they don’t have housekeeping clean your room.
Also please note hotels have a small note stuck on the mirror in the bathroom stating what they offer. If you forget to ask them and your room hasn’t been cleaned…Call ☎️ the front desk and ask for the service the night before. They will put you on the list for the rest of your stay.
Try not to walk on hotel floors barefoot as you might contract a foot condition.
I love a refrigerator in the room. I especially like it for my skin care products and to cool mini bottles of Prosecco or water bottles and to store my fresh smoothies.
If there isn’t a refrigerator in your room… call the front desk and ask. Sometimes it’s free. No fee. You never know unless you ask.
Bathtubs! I love baths! But in my travels unless I’m working in Las Vegas most hotels don’t have bathtubs like they used only showers.
My last hotel stay in Las Vegas my room had two giant tubs and one shower! But that was in LV.
If you have time on your getaway even if it’s a long weekend… try and pack a bag with your facial rollers, ice rollers, gua sha tools, sheet face masks and a luxe facial soap bar. I try and always treat myself to a SPA in my room. Of course if a spa is in your hotel or near you go there if you’d like and spend some ME time.But if you’re pressed for time or short on the funds just DIY!
I even pack my a few things like facial treats and massage oil to pamper my husband a little. He loves it!
So I hope you enjoyed my tips and that you’ll stress less when you travel!
Have a nice time!
