✈️ 3 Travel Pants Comfortable to Wear in Airplane After Mashed Potatoes 💙 I’m wearing M in all travel outfits.
This 2 piece set has the softest elastic waistband for long road trip or
to wear for a long flight. The long sleeve travel outfit has the same tummy
hiding flap. Outfit number 2 is a Spanx for less outfit. The pants do not
touch the floor of the airplane lavatory. I wear these because the
stretch in the pants is so comfortable. Outfit 3 pants have tummy
control and do not wrinkle when I travel. Travel Tip:
for sitting in an airplane seat for a long haul flight or for a long road
trip, comfortable outfits help you stay in vacay mode!

✈️ This one travel tip will help you not get pickpocketed 💙
1. I practice pulling out my wallet or reaching for euros before my trip, like a Christmas Market trip, for example. 2. But the most helpful tip is to wear a crossbody bag with a wire in the strap. The mesh panels are also laden with mesh wires. And they do not make the alarm go off in airport security. The slash-resistant strap slows down a criminal from stealing your valuables while traveling.

✈️ How to Reduce Inflammation After a Long Flight:
1.Take deep breaths with long exhales.
2.With moisturizer or a serum, press with flat fingers against your cheekbones outward to your temples and, without picking them up, slide them straight down then flick outwards when you reach your tonsils. A short video is coming later this week.
3.When you get to hotel, put feet up for 5-10 minutes. This anti-inflammatory action drains lymph nodes so you pee out the puffiness.
4.Halfway through the day, pop LMNT in a bottle and chug it. It has magnesium, sodium nutrients, and potassium. For me, these nutrients give me a boost to make it over that just-let-me-go-to-bed jet lag fight you have with yourself.
Travel Tip: Do not eat heavy foods that first day! But the second day, that’s when you have pasta or pizza near dinner time. Then you should sleep wonderfully.
Both the Nordstrom cashmere sweater and the long sleeve Talbots red tee fit true to size.

✈️ With drastically fluctuating temperatures in the airplane or airport, I wear travel outfits with layering pieces. These 3 items will keep you cool or warm, without creating bulk in your airplane seat.
1. If it is freezing in your airplane seat, try adding a cashmere cotton scarf like this red one. It is not heavy. This 100% reversible silk scarf is also versatile for travel outfits when you are hot or cold.

2. Base layer t-shirts should not cling, but if you are hot inside the airplane, a short sleeve tee is smart to wear.

3. One travel outfit is with a cashmere sweatshirt sweater by Quince. Size up for length if tall.
TIP: Both Nordstrom Rack and Quince are having major Cyber Monday sales.

✈️ Christmas Market Shoes That are Waterproof 💙
If you travel to a Christmas Market, these waterproof boots feel like sneakers with arch support. I have never been able to wear Columbia shoes, but I could walk all day in them Rugged sole for cobbled streets.
The green Sorel sneaker is waterproof. To me they run large but have arch support too.
These waterproof sneakers give you solid footing from On 6. You can slide your foot into this shoe too.
If you will be in Europe for a Christmas Market, my travel tip is to go at night so you can see the twinkling lights.

Free Travel Hack
1. Use a free newspaper bag to pack shoes. Travel Tip: you do not have to
pack shoes together. Separate them if that helps you have more space
in your carry-on luggage.
2. In a liquids bag pack your 3.4 ounce TSA approved bottles in the
horizontal position. After 23 years as a pilot's wife packing in only carryon
bags, this tip lets you fit more in surprisingly!

Travel hack for this packable jacket by Bernardo is that it has backpack straps for your airport travel day. The coat has an attached packable pocket I stuff my jacket into for the flight. Travel Tip: for domestic airplanes flight attendants are not allowing you to put jackets in overhead bins.
When I get hot as a woman over 50 going into stores where it is warm but outside is cold, I toss this jacket on my shoulders with the included backpack straps. Genius travel hack!

Traveling with my digital passport as my ID did NOT work in TSA lines this week. I was the first passenger in Chicago ORD's Transportation Security Line (in the B terminal) to try using my digital passport with my @iphone The awesome TSA officer let me try 3 times, and it kept saying scanning error. So my travel tip is to give it a couple of months before you try it.
Have you used it in an airport yet? Was it faster?

Travel Updates for Power Bank Portable Chargers:
You are allowed to bring cell phone chargers into the airplane, but
some Asian airlines are banning you from using them during the
flight. Here in the US some airlines are making new rules that you need
to have the power bank in plain sight if charging your phone. No
charging allowed inside a suitcase though 🤣 🤷🏼‍♀️
My husband has the Anker charger that monitors your heat, and I
also have one that has a phone prop in it. But neither has ever gotten
even warm while charging.
Tip: just pay attention to any emails or announcements during your
trip to know for sure, but for most airlines you can safely use them while
flying. Tip: power banks are NEVER allowed in the belly of the airplane
with cargo since they are technically combustible.

Women over 40 with small lips, this is a neutral lip trick I wear with my travel outfits
It actually looks natural on my midlife lips.
Tip 1: instead of lining your lips, fill in your lips just a little bit with flecks
with a neutral color or a darker color. I'm using Fenty Beauty
Traced Out in a neutral shade.
Tip 2: cover with Elf Crystal Baller lip gloss - no texture of glimmer stuff,
no burning plumping sensation, but hours of stay without it being sticky.
I feel fancy with lipstick on so this hack is what I use when traveling
and now for everyday makeup looks as a woman over 40 AND over 50.

3 tips if the TSA officers do not show up to your airport because of the Government Shutdown 💙
Tip number 1: arrive 3 hours before the airline will let you into the
airplane. Tip 2 takes some explaining. Since low staffing of TSA officers
many airports are having to combine security into one or two spots.
Here is what you do in large airports: Look at a map of that airport
where you are getting picked up at or where you need to depart from.
Airports have apps with a map too. See if you can walk to or ride a train to meet your pick up
person at the less popular terminal or get dropped off at the less
crowded terminal. For example in IAH most passengers are going
to E because United is the big airline in Houston. In Atlanta the more
crowded area is the South terminal because Delta is king there.
Dallas would be American. Tip 3: find the train above or underground
that will allow you to walk or ride to the less crowded spot or get
dropped off and go through that less crowded TSA line and then
ride or walk to the terminal your plane will be at. As a pilot's wife I
share tips here and on YouTube every week.

✈️ Two-Piece Lounge Sets for Travel 💙
Number one 2 piece set sits on my waist with an elastic waistband comfortable for flying. The pants are long enough on me but not too long for the airplane lavatory. I am over 50, size 10, wearing a Medium in all of these outfits.
Number 2 travel set is luxuriously soft. The tummy flap skims your tummy!
The third 2 piece set is for hanging out with family. The shorts are long enough for sitting modestly on the floor playing games. Such soft fabric that feels like lounge wear but has a sweater type fabric too.
Travel tip: even if your ties have metal on them, they do not make the alarm go off in airport security.
