It’s not on common to go weeks without looking into a mirror when you’re on the road. Sometimes you’re just too busy having fun and experiencing life to worry about anything else. That’s what traveling’s all about – fun!

When you do finally take a peek into the mirror and remember all those girl things you used to do prior to traveling, don’t depair – be prepared.

These are five easy and simple tools to help you keep well groomed on the road.

Problem: Unruly Eyebrows

Tool: Tweezerman Mini Tweeze Set Brow To Go
Solution: Quality mirror time is hard to come by when you’re traveling making it easy to forget to pluck eyebrows. Carry small, inexpensive tweezers for weekly maintenance.
Outcome: Tidy and neat, plucked eyebrows give the face a fresh appearance

Thongs

Problem: Dead Skin on Feet

Tool: Tatania Pumice Sponge Block
Solution: Feet take a beating during a Round-the-World Trip when you constantly live in flip flops. Use a small pumice sponge to scrub your feet on a daily basis.
Outcome: Smooth heels feel fresh and clean. They also look great in flip flops.

Summer Feet

Problem: Rigid, dirty nails

Tool: Tweezerman Nail Rescue Kit
Solution: Use a mini, lightweight manicure kit including nail file and double sided cuticle pusher to give your fingernails and toenails a well groomed appearance.
Outcome: With a little effort and small initial investment, you can easily give yourself a DIY manicure and pedicure.

Nailing The Flickr Colors

Problem: Bare Hands

Tool: OPI – Mini Lacquer Collection
Solution: Carry a tiny nail polish jar to give yourself an occassional touch up.
Outcome: Add a bit of polish to spruce up your feminine vibe. A little dab of polish can make you feel girly again. Nail polish is one of the best accessories to any travel outfit.

Kelly's hair

Problem: Unruly Hair

Tool: Goody Simple Styles Hair Pins
Solution: Carry bobby pins and other hair pins for a quick fix when nothing else will do.
Outcome: Without styling tools we’re left at the mercy of our natural locks. Use hair pins to hold your hair in place, make a neat bun, or create stylish looks.

I really don't want to look like Frida Kahlo therefore i really need to do my Eyebrows every other day. I can get really creative and I do whatever it takes to "look" good while traveling/on the road, ha ha. Thank you for the tips.

Hahaha! I've become a master at doing my eyebrows on various forms of transportation. In Africa I would sit there on the overland truck with my trusty mirror and tweezers as we bumped along the Namibian gravel roads. It's a talent that's taken years to perfect... but I don't want to start looking like Sasquatch! :P
