While I love long ocean cruises, my stomach would prefer to stay in a seaside lodge with a floor that doesn’t move. For years, my solution has been drug-free, wearable technology in the form of Reliefband, so I was thrilled to see the new Reliefband 2.0 on the market.

It has all of the same great features as the original, which uses proprietary pulses against the median nerve on the underside of the wrist with neuromodulation technology that cancels queasiness. The new version has a sleek, modern design with a techy edge. It also comes with a recharging cable and a tube of hypoallergenic conductivity gel to dab on your wrist, ensuring a good connection between the device and your wrist. Perfect for car travel, cruises, flying, rollercoasters and virtual reality experiences, Releifband 2.0 also has proven applications for vertigo, morning sickness and other conditions that trigger nausea and vomiting. Color choices are Charcoal and a neutral Denim Slate Blue ($174.99).

Speaking of long cruises and road trips, travel can be a stress-inducing undertaking regardless of how fabulous the destination promises to be. Enter Floral Simplicity sachets, perfectly sized to slip into your suitcase or carry-on (or keep in the car for road trips) for a calming, portable aromatherapy experience that does double duty to keep your luggage smelling fresh. Produced with biodegradable packaging and ink, the sachets come in a fabulous selection of scents, including traditional botanicals such as Gardenia, Country Sunflower, Peony, Lavender, Honeysuckle and Sandalwood; and a fun round-up of comforting scents that include Pumpkin Spice, Laundry Basket, Vanilla Cake, Caramel Latte, Gingerbread, Lemon Poundcake and Almond Biscotti.

Yes, I have a new electric toothbrush because it looks as though it came from a design museum gift shop in Europe; and yes, I’m kind of obsessed with its quietly powerful cleaning action and how it makes my toiletry bag look trendy. The sleek brush comes with a travel cover that also serves as a brush mount in elegant color choices such as silver, slate, copper and gold metal, plus blue plastic and green plastic. There’s even a bespoke quip-branded toothpaste and guide of dentist tips, including amount of paste to use, how to angle for optimal cleaning, what kind of pressure to use, the best stroke strategy and how long to brush (two minutes, everyone). The vibrating bristles of the quip pause at 30-second intervals, helping you keep time.

Amansara Review

It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.

Vinpearl Landmark 81, Autograph Collection Review

I am looking out at Vietnam’s largest city from the country’s tallest building. Sitting in a comfortable chair facing the floor-to-ceiling window, I have taken in the view in daylight and darkness at dusk and dawn. It’s ever-changing and always hypnotic.
